Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Unabridged read by Christopher Hurt Get Other Classic Audio Books CD click here Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury - AudioBook CD Brand New : Unabridged 4 Audio CDs 5 Hours Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian speculative fiction novel authored by Ray Bradbury and first published in 1953. The novel presents a future American society in which the masses are hedonistic and critical thought through reading is outlawed. The central character Guy Montag is employed as a "fireman" (which in this future means "book burner").

The original short story was reworked into the novella The Fireman and published in the February 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. Th find out more.....
