Fahrenheit 451

by Ray Bradbury

Random House Publishing Group | August 12, 1987 | Mass Market Paperbound

Internationally acclaimed with more than 5 million copies in print, Fahrenheit 451 is Ray Bradbury''s classic novel of censorship and defiance, as resonant today as it was when it was first published nearly 50 years ago.

Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires...

The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning ... along with the houses in which they were hidden.

Guy Montag enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames... never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid.

Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think... and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do!

"Reading is at the center of our lives."

I loved the way Bradbury presents books as objects of sanctity. His love for literature shines through in this novel. He has been quoted as saying that a town's two most important buildings are its medical building and its library. I couldn't agree with him more.
