Book Description

January 5, 2010 Vintage Espanol
La historia de un sombrío y aterrador futuro
 
Guy Montag pertenece a una extraña brigada de bomberos. Su misión, paradójicamente, no es la de sofocar incendios sino la de provocarlos para quemar libros. Ha sido bombero durante más de 10 años, y siempre le gustó su trabajó. Nunca cuestionó nada —ni la emoción de las salidas a medianoche ni el placer de ver las hojas arder— hasta que conoció a una niña de diecisiete años que le mostró un pasado en el que la gente no tenía miedo y a un profesor que le habló de un futuro en el que la gente podría ser libre. Y al fin Montag comprendió lo que tenía que hacer.
 
Fahrenheit 451, la novela más célebre del maestro de la ciencia ficción, nos presenta un futuro perturbador: un mundo en el que los libros y la lectura están prohibidos. Porque leer obliga a pensar, y en ese mundo está prohibido pensar. Porque leer impide ser ingenuamente feliz, y en ese mundo hay que ser feliz a la fuerza.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Aterrador en sus implicaciones… el relato de Bradbury de ese mundo enfermizo, que guarda muchas y alarmantes similitudes con el nuestro, es fascinante”. —The New York Times

About the Author

Ray Bradbury nació el 22 de agosto de 1920 en Waukegan, Illinois.  Durante la Gran Depresión se trasladó con su familia a Los Ángeles, donde se graduó en 1938 del Los Angeles High School.  Su educación académica acabó ahí, pero continuó formándose por cuenta propia hasta que en 1943 se convirtrió en escritor profesional.  Sus obras más conocidas son Crónicas marcianas, El hombre ilustrado y Fahrenheit 451.  Brabdury no sólo es novelista, también ha escrito innumerables guiones de televisión, ensayos y poemas.  Su preocupación como escritor no sólo se centra en cuestionar el modo de vida actual, también se adentra en el reino de lo fantástico y maravilloso, con un estilo poético y, a veces, provocativo.  En su niñez, Bradbury fue muy propenso a las pesadillas y horribles fantasías que acabó por plasmar en sus relatos muchos años después.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece by a literary giant, February 5, 2008
By 
J. Harrison (Fort Worth, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bradbury is without a doubt one of the strongest writers of our time and this book is arguably his best work. All the usual elements of vintage Bradbury are here--captivating prose, rich characters and a plot that never drags. Guy Montag, the main character, is a memorable figure and his adventures and personal development will stay with you. Bradbury weaves a wonderful, thought-provoking tale here that is sure to please. Highly recommended reading for anyone and a great place to begin reading Bradbury.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Ray Bradbury's Best, December 27, 2007
A classic tale by a master of the craft of metaphor. Bradbury uses the fireman in a world where they MAKE fires instead of putting them out, to explore the phenomenon of censorship in a world obsessed with being "good". Scenes in his book were reminiscent of what the Nazis did in Opernplatz, Berlin. In fact, of this event Bradbury made this poignant statement: "It follows then that when Hitler burned a book I felt it as keenly, please forgive me, as his killing a human, for in the long sum of histroy they are onein the same flesh." I met Ray Bradbury and he is a gentle, humble soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars captivating ideas, gripping story, February 18, 2008
By 
A very elegantly written book with a strong message about technology, censorship, and control/freedom. Bradbury writes in a beautifully poetic way that is not only layered with meaning, but also gripping from beginning to end. I could not stop reading this book until finishing the last page. A great social commentary and story, and perhaps even more relevant today than when it was written. Highly, highly recommended!
