Fahrenheit 451

Ray Bradbury

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 estan prohibidos porque son causa de discordia y sufrimiento. El Sabueso Mecanico del Departamento de Incendios, armado con una letal inyeccion hipodermica, escoltado por helicopteros, esta preparado para rastrear a los disidentes que aun conservan y leen libros. Como 1984, de George Orwell, como Un mundo feliz, de Aldous Huxley, Fahrenheit 451 describe una civilizacion occidental esclavizada por los medios, los tranquilizantes y el conformismo. La vision de Bradbury es asombrosamente profetica: pantallas de television que ocupan paredes y exhiben folletines interactivos; avenidas donde los coches corren a 150 kilometros por hora persiguiendo a peatones; una poblacion que no escucha otra cosa que una insipida corriente de musica y noticias transmitidas por unos diminutos auriculares insertados en las orejas. Fahrenheit 451 es el mas convincente de todos los infiernos conformistas. Kingsley Amis. La novela mas celebre de Ray Bradbury, una historia de un sombrio y horroroso futuro. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television family. But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.
