Viac o knihe

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of this hauntingly prophetic classic novel, a special edition with a new introduction by Ray Bradbury. Over 1 million copies sold in the UK. 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 creat a novel which, fifty years on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.

Klasika, která neztratila na aktualitě.

morální imperativ "knihy jsou dobrý". Kdyby příběh nebyl tak aktuální, křičel bych "klišé!" do všech světových stran.

I dnes velmi aktuální téma s varováním před mocí moderních technologií, odcizením mezi lidmi. Ti, co svobodně přemýšlí, jsou stíhání, i v tom byl autor předvídavý. Výborně, čtivě napsáno a využito velmi originálních motivů.
