“There was a silly [old] bird called a Phoenix… everytime he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again,” (156). This quote perfectly represents the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury by showing us that from an ignorant society, a phoenix in the form of the character Guy Montag can arise. This book was published in 1951 by author Ray Bradbury who was also known for the novels Dandelion Wine, Farewell Summer, and A Graveyard for Lunatics, along with many…

“You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on your hearts, to be known and read by all men; and you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

The book is so seamlessly written that it is not merely lifelike but also, in the best sense, novel like. It narrates a story in a skillful manner, with much attention to character. DeLillo makes us familiar with some peculiar habits of the characters. Like Everett cannot make himself go to bed at night without checking that the oven is off, and then sometimes double-checking, and reminding himself as he climbs the stairs that he has in fact completed his check. No doubt DeLillo has chosen such…

Neither Dale Carnegie nor the publishers, Simon and Schuster, anticipated more than this modest sale. To their amazement, the book became an overnight sensation, and edition after edition rolled off the presses to keep up with the increasing public demand. Now to Win Friends and InfEuence People took its place in publishing history as one of the all-time international best-sellers.
