Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of this timeless classic with a special edition featuring a new introduction by the author and a message that is more relevant today than when it was first published. Since the late 1940s, Ray Bradbury has been revered for his works of science fiction and fantasy. With more than five million copies in print, "Fahrenheit 451" -- originally published in 1953 -- remains his most acclaimed work.Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book paper burns. "Fahrenheit 451" is a novel set in the (perhaps near) future when "firemen" burn books forbidden by a totalitarian "brave new world" regime. The hero, according to Mr. Bradbury, is "a book burner who suddenly discovers that books are flesh-and-blood ideas and cry out silently when put to the torch." Today, when libraries and schools in this country and all over the world are still "burning" certain books, "Fahrenheit 451" remains a brilliantly readable and suspenseful work of even greater impact and timeliness.

Many of Bradbury's works have been adapted into television shows or films.
