Fahrenheit 451

Ray Bradbury · 1953 CE · Novel · Modern / American · Contemporary

Montag burns books for a living in a country where houses are fireproof and the parlor walls talk back. A neighbor's questions and a woman who will not leave her library start him hiding volumes in his own house. Memory kept alive against a screen-lit forgetting.
