Fahrenheit 451 by bradbury Ray

Author: ری بردبری (bradbury Ray)

Sixty years after its originally publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.

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.

“FAHRENHEIT 451 – the temperature at which book paper catches fire and burns” Guy Montag is a fireman who lives in an absolutely insane world where firemen burn books and the homes of anyone who have them. The story is set in a futuristic time when wars are the norm with use of atomic bombs and people are ruled by huge walls of television. Ray Bradbury fan here….great read!

I felt the evil lurked from behind each page. And to think the only visible threat was a world without books… But it left me perplexed. I couldn’t imagine it. Annelies                                                                                                 rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Excellent modern classic with huge aftermath. It is that kind of a book that will make you sit back and reflect why you value books. As I read this novel I clung on my books a tad tighter, appreciated my freedom of thinking for myself as this is the only reliable road to real safety and my freedom to challenge situations by asking incisive questions. As curiosity is the force in my DNA to keep on learning, it is the more important to learn and think for myself by means of books. Anyway, Montag has now inspired me to read poems out loud… Happy reading ?!
