Fahrenheit 451 (Deluxe Slipcase Edition)

Ray Bradbury’s classic novel of resistance, Fahrenheit 451, is available for the first time in a deluxe hardcover edition featuring:

In the dystopian America of Fahrenheit 451, knowledge is the enemy, and mass censorship reigns. 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. It is not until he meets his eccentric neighbor, Clarisse, that he begins to question everything he has ever known.

Published over seventy years ago, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel stands as the most enduring critique of censorship. Today, its message is more relevant than ever before.

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. He wrote for the theater, cinema, and TV, including the screenplay for John Huston’s Moby Dick and the Emmy Award-winning teleplay The Halloween Tree, and adapted for television sixty-five of his stories for The Ray Bradbury Theater. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, and numerous other honors.
