A Pleasure to Burn by Ray Bradbury
Before Fahrenheit 451, there was a carnival of madness, a pillar of fire, and a world where the dead walked.
There was a future where the last books of Poe and Lovecraft were burned, and a solitary librarian stood as the final guardian of imagination. Here, in this essential classic science fiction collection, are the sixteen vintage stories and novellas that Ray Bradbury forged into his dystopian masterpiece.
This volume charts the thrilling genesis of Bradbury's most iconic ideas. Witness the lonely pedestrian arrested for the crime of walking in a society glued to its screens. Meet the firemen whose job is not to stop fires but to start them. Travel to a haunted Mars where literary legends wage a final war against censorship, and stand with the last man on Earth to defy a world that would rather burn history than read it. These are the tales of terror and wonder that lit the match of a revolution.
