Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation .

by Ray Bradbury.

Adaptation by Tim Hamilton.

OVERVIEW: Fifty-five years ago, Ray Bradbury, one of Americas greatest writers, envisioned one of the worlds most unforgettable dystopian futures. Thinking is dangerous; trust only the state; turn in your neighbors; and, most important, burn all books. Artist Tim Hamilton, with Bradbury, has turned this modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. The world of Guy Montag, a career fireman for whom kerosene has become perfume, has been translated by Hamilton into unforgettable full-color art that uniquely captures Montags awakening to the evil of government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of philosophy, theology, and literature. Fully depicting the brilliance and force of Bradburys canonic and beloved masterwork, "Ray Bradburys "Fahrenheit 451" "is an exceptional, haunting work of graphic literature.
