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.
Ray Douglas Bradbury (August 22, 1920 – June 5, 2012) was an American fantasy, science fiction, horror and mystery fiction writer. Best known for his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and for the science fiction and horror stories gathered together as The Martian Chronicles (1950) and The Illustrated Man (1951), Bradbury was one of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers. Many of Bradbury's works have been adapted into television shows or films.

评分在打开书页之前,我做好了准备,准备再一次迎接扑面而来的黑暗,准备再一次扎进僵冷死寂的1984。但是我带着一点点惊异与一点点欣喜发现,我错了。《华氏451》不是铁幕,不是了无生机的世界——或者,至少,不全是。虽然整个故事都笼罩在灰暗的颜色当中,但在每一个人物的身上却...

评分I finished 180 pages (roughly) on the 10hr-ish flight back from San Francisco to Beijing; that's the entire novel plus Bradbury's own afterwards and Coda. In terms of pages per minute, this might be a personal record. But that doesn't mean much; I've read...
