Overview
La clásica distopía sobre los peligros del populismo y el conformismo, en una nueva traducción que capta toda la fuerza del original.
En un futuro sombrío y turbador, Montag forma parte de una extraña brigada de bomberos cuya misión no es sofocar incendios, sino producirlos para quemar libros. Y es que en su mundo está prohibido leer, porque lo que se quiere suprimir es la capacidad de pensar. Una vez que Montag lo comprenda, alertado por una organización secreta dedicada a memorizar volúmenes enteros, sabrá que ha llegado el momento de elegir entre la obediencia y la rebeldía. En esta nueva traducción, que captura mejor que nunca toda la fuerza del original, la clásica distopía de Ray Bradbury sigue alertándonos sobre las peores facetas del conformismo moderno.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The classic dystopia on the dangers of populism and conformism, in a new translation that captures all the power of the original.
In a bleak and disturbing future, Montag is part of a strange fire brigade whose mission is not to put out fires, but to start them in order to burn books. For in his world, reading is forbidden, because what they seek to suppress is the ability to think. Once Montag realizes this, alerted by a secret organization dedicated to memorizing entire volumes, he will know that the time has come to choose between obedience and rebellion. In this new translation, which captures the full force of the original better than ever before, Ray Bradbury’s classic dystopia continues to warn us about the worst aspects of modern conformity.
