Nearly seventy years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.About the AuthorBradbury, Ray: - Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was the author of more than three dozen books, including Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, as well as hundreds of short stories.

Reader's BEWAREThis is a novel built in layers. Snippets of details and the emotions of what seems to be, at first, a confused and lost narrator are put into short "Dispatches" that slowly evolve into a dystopian world where books and the cleaning of old books stacked in endless rows become the center of existence. There is first a bookkeeper and then the bookkeeper is gone as the narrator struggles to learn about his job in an enormous, dusty warehouse. And what about Paige? Who is the young girl in the earliest dispatches?This is not our everyday world, although we are never sure whether the story is set in our world or in some timeless universe where books are everything. Characters appear and disappear as the trilogy's three books unfurl. Cats and a dog become important as the story rollicks onward. Robots (or are they robots?) take over the writer's, the trilogy's, I and then lead him away from the reality he believes he has lived, the one with the beautiful woman in his bed. Then there are the story characters running and roaming as they try to avoid fates that seem to hover just beyond where they are. And always, always, there are the books you blow on to clean, bringing them back to life so that their pages become part of who you are.This is as unusual a book of literature you will ever read even if you love Kurt Vonnegut or Franz Kafka.
