About the Novel: Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, is the story of a man's struggle with his society and himself.

The story begins with Guy Montag, a "fireman" charged with the job of burning books that have become outlawed.

In this society, books have been deemed to have no value with new media and sports accommodating short attention spans.

His struggle begins when he meets his neighbor Clarisse McClellan, a free-thinker that begins to open his mind.

From there, he soon finds himself stealing the books he was tasked to destroy.

Montag's struggle culminates in an attempt to discover the value of books himself, putting him in the very same danger as those he one persecuted.

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian tale of self-exploration and the struggle between one's self and their society.
