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.
