Sixty years after its original 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 relevent than ever before.

Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodoties, 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 then 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.

This sixtieth-anniversary edition commemorates Ray Bradbury's masterpiece with …

Fahrenheit 451

Incroyable qu’un roman écrit il y a plus de 70 ans puisse à ce point résonner avec l'actualité de 2025. Ray Bradbury expose une société totalitaire sans tyran où, sous prétexte d’apaiser les âmes et de satisfaire la multitude des minorités – professions, religions, associations, etc. – les romans sont brûlés, les intellectuels, au mieux, exilés. Le pompier incendiaire Montag rencontre une jeune femme qui instillera le doute dans son esprit, lui permettant de s'affranchir, d’ouvrir les yeux. Les écrans publicitaires, les caméras, les voisins délateurs, les robots chasseurs de têtes : nous sommes projetés dans une dystopie effrayante et visionnaire avec, qui plus est, dans cette traduction de Jacques Chambon et Henri Robillot, une véritable qualité littéraire.

Una buena distopía

Esperaba un Orwell y terminé un poco decepcionado. El mundo que construye está interesante pero no indaga demasiado en él, algunas partes parecen inconexas y solo estar ahí para continuar con la historia. Vale la pena leerlo completamente por una parte muy particular del final, sí lo lees, sabrás cuál es cuando llegues ahí.

distopia diferente.

as distopias costumam ser associadas com um governo totalitário controlando uma massa de pessoas.

o que me interessa mais nesse livro é a construção de uma opressão por parte do próprio povo: o desinteresse por buscar conhecimento, que surge das mídias de massa, torna-os ignorantes.

o final da história é particularmente emocionante.
