Highly regarded as Ray Bradburys masterpiece, Fahrenheit 451 depicts a dystopian society in which all books are outlawed and burned. The novel follows the personal evolution and journey of Guy Montag, from a fireman for whom it is a pleasure to burn books, to a man disillusioned with the censoring of knowledge and dedicated to the preservation of literature. In a 1956 interview, Bradbury said, I wrote this book at a time when I was worried about the way things were going in this country four years ago. Too many people were afraid of their shadows; there was a threat of book burning. Many of the books were being taken off the shelves at that time.

Bradbury has also described the book as a commentary on resistance to conformity, and how mass media can create a lack of interest in reading literature. Though considered one of the greatest science-fiction novels of all time, much of Fahrenheit 451 has become science-fact. The novel predicted earbud headphones, flatscreen televisions, and 24-hour banking machines.

In 1954, Fahrenheit 451 won the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Literature and the Commonwealth Club of California Gold Medal. It later won the Prometheus Hall of Fame Award in 1984, and a Retro Hugo Award in 2004, one of only seven Best Novel Retro Hugo Awards ever given. 6 x 9 trim size. Quarter bound in Italian cloth with decorative French marbled paper covers.
