{"product_id":"9780006546061","title":"Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury (Paperback) 16-08-1993","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. Over 1 million copies sold in the UK. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic novel of a post-literate future, 'Fahrenheit 451' stands alongside Orwell's '1984' and Huxley's 'Brave New World' as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which over fifty years from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Ivybridge Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Ray Bradbury \/ Fiction - Paperback \/ 16-08-1993","offer_id":54920186659196,"sku":"9780006546061","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/2344\/8005\/files\/9780006546061.jpg?v=1738602420","url":"https:\/\/www.ivybridgebookshop.com\/products\/9780006546061","provider":"The Ivybridge Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
