Synopsis

A Pleasure to Burn -- a collection of sixteen selected shorter works that prefigure the grand master's landmark novel Fahrenheit 451 -- 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.

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, with classic, thematically interrelated stories alongside many crucial lesser-known ones--including, at the collection's heart, the novellas ''Long after Midnight'' and ''The Fireman.''
