About this product

Product Information

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!

    Classic MUST Read !

    Catch yourself looking at the date of publication! This book contains today's issues and questions in a book WAY ahead of it's time. Check it out... for a gift, a re-read... or for yourself, as a first time reader... and catch yourself wondering.... How did he do it.... writing this book WHEN?

    May not seem it has to do with the plot, but it does

    I Have decided to try on this novel after finishing Mars Chronicles (maybe I have written the title wrong, as I have a Spanish edition of it), also by Bradbury. The Bradbury's world, in which reading books is seen as a taboo and firemen have not to stop fires but to start them so as to destroy existent books -this layout, I mean the taboo on literary works and the upcoming war, is connected to the one in Mars Chronicles-, is both a very subtle and clear means for the author to express his concern about some ways of burning literary pieces which do not imply throwing the books into a fire but to reproach segments of the texts or to just cut these segments off the draft while the book is being edited for printing. These actions, plus an increasing desinterestedness from the masses are what ...

    Entry level political foreshadowing and sci-fi

    This book is sort of a like a beginner's version of 1984. It involves a society rapt by fear of books from their overbearing government. The government destroys any and all books they find and will imprison anyone guilty of their possesion. Its a picture of what the world would collapse into if we were not afforded the wealth of knowledge of our predecessors. If it were not for the findings and literary masterpieces of the scientists and novelists before us, our human experience would dwindle. Also involved is the horror of a government willing to kill its own civilians in order to maintain its ideals, which is now seen as an Orwellian future. However, where Orwell's 1984 might be a big too graphic or adult for teens, this book is a well suited substitute for teaching middle school ...

    Super classic novel sci-fi

    I bought the Book for my granddaughter for Christmas. She loves all books and thinks it’s great that I buy her used books Versus new. She was super excited to get it and I hope she enjoys reading it and it was a great price.
