About this listen

A new recording of Ray Bradbury’s timeless classic Fahrenheit 451 narrated by Penn Badgley!

Nearly seventy years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.

Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.

i would easily agree with the consensus that this book is important. Wonderful and thought provoking, ideas as relevant now as when it was first published.

I first read this as a teenager and today have passed the book on to my own teenager. This led to my re-reading it, and I was astounded at how relevant and incisive Bradbury remains to this day. A true classic that tells us what it means to be human, and what we should aspire to.

so much wisdom and foresight. Timeless
