Ray Bradbury''s novel Fahrenheit 451 is an enduring masterwork of twentieth-century American literature-a chilling vision of a dystopian future built on the foundations of ignorance, censorship, and brutal repression
The origins and evolution of Bradbury''s darkly magnificent tale are explored in A Pleasure to Burn, a collection of sixteen selected shorter works that prefigure the grand master''s landmark novel. Classic, thematically interrelated stories alongside many crucial lesser-known ones-including, at the collection''s heart, the novellas Long After Midnight and The Fireman-A Pleasure to Burn is an indispensable companion to the most powerful work of America''s preeminent storyteller, a wondrous confirmation of the inimitable Bradbury''s brilliance, magic . . . and fire.
