{"product_id":"fahrenheit-451","title":"Fahrenheit 451","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\n\n\nNearly seventy years after its original publication, Ray Bradburys internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.\n\nGuy 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. 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 when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didnt live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.\n\n\nReview\n\n\nBrilliant . . . Startling and ingenious . . . Mr. Bradburys account of this insane world, which bears many alarming resemblances to our own, is fascinating. Orville Prescott,\nThe New York Times\n\nA masterpiece . . . A glorious American classic everyone should read: Its life-changing if you read it as a teen, and still stunning when you reread it as an adult. Alice Hoffman,\nThe Boston Globe\n\nThe sheer lift and power of a truly original imagination exhilarates . . . His is a very great and unusual talent. Christopher Isherwood,\nTomorrow\n\nOne of this countrys most beloved writers . . . A great storyteller, sometimes even a mythmaker, a true American classic.
