Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451: The Authorized Adaptation -- Ray Bradbury

<p><b>A Graphic Adaptation</b> <p/><b>An HBO Original Movie starring Michael B. Jordan (<i>Black Panther</i>), Sofia Boutella (<i>Star Trek: Beyond</i>), and Michael Shannon (<i>The Shape of Water</i>).</b> <p/><b>An Eisner Award Nominee</b><br><i><br>Monday burn Millay, Wednesday Whitman, Friday Faulkner, burn 'em to ashes, then burn the ashes.</i> <p/>For Guy Montag, a career fireman for whom kerosene is perfume, this is not just an official slogan. It is a mantra, a duty, a way of life in a tightly monitored world where thinking is dangerous and books are forbidden. <p/>In 1953, Ray Bradbury envisioned one of the world's most unforgettable dystopian futures, and in <i>Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451</i>, the artist Tim Hamilton translates this frightening modern masterpiece into a gorgeously imagined graphic novel. As could only occur with Bradbury's full cooperation in this authorized adaptation, Hamilton has created a striking work of art that uniquely captures Montag's awakening to the evil of government-controlled thought and the inestimable value of philosophy, theology, and literature. <p/>Including an original foreword by Ray Bradbury and fully depicting the brilliance and force of his canonic and beloved masterwork, <i>Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451</i> is an exceptional, haunting work of graphic literature.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Ray D.
