Book Synopsis



La novela más célebre de Ray Bradbury, una historia de un sombrío y horroroso futuro.


Fahrenheit 451: la temperatura a la que el papel se enciende y arde.

Guy Montag es un bombero y el trabajo de un bombero es quemar libros, que están prohibidos porque son causa de discordia y sufrimiento.

El Sabueso Mecánico del Departamento de Incendios, armado con una letal inyección hipodérmica, escoltado por helicópteros, está preparado para rastrear a los disidentes que aún conservan y leen libros. Como 1984, de George Orwell, como Un mundo feliz, de Aldous Huxley, Fahrenheit 451 describe una civilización occidental esclavizada por los medios, los tranquilizantes y el conformismo.

La visión de Bradbury es asombrosamente profética: pantallas de televisión que ocupan paredes y exhiben folletines interactivos; avenidas donde los coches corren a 150 kilómetros por hora persiguiendo a peatones; una población que no escucha otra cosa que una insípida corriente de música y noticias transmitidas por unos diminutos auriculares insertados en las orejas.

«Fahrenheit 451 es el más convincente de todos los infiernos conformistas.» Kingsley Amis


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Fahrenheit 451: The temperature at which paper ignites and burns.


Guy Montag is a firefighter and the job of a firefighter is to burn books, which are forbidden because they are a cause of discord and suffering.


The Fire Department's Mechanical Hound, armed with a lethal hypodermic injection, escorted by helicopters, is prepared to track down dissidents who still keep and read books. Like George Orwell's 1984, like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 describes a Western civilization enslaved by the media, tranquilizers and conformism.


Bradbury's vision is astonishingly prescient: television screens occupying walls and displaying interactive pamphlets; avenues where cars run at 150 kilometers per hour chasing pedestrians; a population that listens to nothing but an insipid stream of music and news transmitted by tiny headphones inserted into the ears.


"Fahrenheit 451 is the most convincing of all conformist hells." Kingsley Amis
