The story of a gloomy and terrifying future
Guy Montag belongs to a strange brigade of firefighters. Paradoxically, their mission is not to extinguish fires but to provoke them in order to burn books. He has been a firefighter for over 10 years, and he has always enjoyed his job. He never questioned anything - neither the thrill of the midnight calls nor the pleasure of seeing the pages burn - until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who showed him a past where people were not afraid, and a professor who spoke to him of a future where people could be free. And finally, Montag understood what he had to do.
Fahrenheit 451, the most famous novel by the master of science fiction, presents us with a disturbing future: a world where books and reading are forbidden. Because reading forces one to think, and in that world, thinking is prohibited. Because reading prevents one from being naively happy, and in that world, one must be happy by force.
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.
