  • A classic dystopian tale.

    This classic dystopian tale is arguably Ray Bradbury's greatest work. It is a fascinating read for teenagers and adults alike. Set in a future where firemen burn books rather than put out fires, it explores the themes of censorship and media content. It is a thought provoking read and this hardcover edition also includes and introduction and afterword by Ray Bradbury. Everybody should read this book.
