Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen.Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books.The classic novel of a post-literate future, `Fahrenheit 451' stands alongside Orwell's `1984' and Huxley's `Brave New World' as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity.Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which over fifty years from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock. z kategorie Knihy | Cizojazyčná literatura | English literature | Fiction and Literature | Science Fiction and Fantasy od HarperCollins naleznete ne e-shopu KnihyDobrovsky.cz! Publikace: Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury. 451 degrés Fahrenheit représentent la température a laquelle un livre s'enflamme et se consume. Dans cette société future ou la lecture, source de questionnement et de réflexion, est considérée comme un acte antisocial, un corps spécial de pompiers est chargé de bruler tous les livres dont la détention est interdite pour le bien collectif. Montag, le pompier pyromane, se met pourtant a rever d'un monde différent, qui ne bannirait pas la littérature et l'imaginaire au profit d'un bonheur immédiatement consommable. Il devient des lors un dangereux criminel, impitoyablement pourchassé par une société qui désavoue son passé. Publikace: Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury.
