Ray
Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 is a
masterwork of twentieth-century literature set in a bleak, dystopian
future.
Guy
Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and
literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather
than put them out. 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 then 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.
When
Mildred attempts suicide and Clarisse suddenly disappears, Montag
begins to question everything he has ever known. He starts hiding
books in his home, and when his pilfering is discovered, the fireman
has to run for his life.
