Fahrenheit 451

In a bleak and unsettling future, Montag is part of a strange fire brigade whose mission is not to extinguish fires, but to start them in order to burn books. In this world, reading is forbidden because what they want to suppress is the capacity for thought. Once Montag understands this, alerted by a secret organization dedicated to memorizing entire volumes, he will know that the moment has come to choose between obedience and rebellion. In this new translation, which captures the full force of the original better than ever, Ray Bradbury's classic dystopia continues to warn us about the worst aspects of modern conformity.
