Overview
Ā
Guy Montag pertenece a una extraƱa brigada de bomberos. Su misiĆ³n, paradĆ³jicamente, no es la de sofocar incendios sino la de provocarlos para quemar libros. Ha sido bombero durante mĆ”s de 10 aƱos, y siempre le gustĆ³ su trabajĆ³. Nunca cuestionĆ³ nada āni la emociĆ³n de las salidas a medianoche ni el placer de ver las hojas arderā hasta que conociĆ³ a una niƱa de diecisiete aƱos que le mostrĆ³ un pasado en el que la gente no tenĆa miedo y a un profesor que le hablĆ³ de un futuro en el que la gente podrĆa ser libre. Y al fin Montag comprendiĆ³ lo que tenĆa que hacer.

Fahrenheit 451, la novela mĆ”s cĆ©lebre del maestro de la ciencia ficciĆ³n, nos presenta un futuro perturbador: un mundo en el que los libros y la lectura estĆ”n prohibidos. Porque leer obliga a pensar, y en ese mundo estĆ” prohibido pensar. Porque leer impide ser ingenuamente feliz, y en ese mundo hay que ser feliz a la fuerza.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Ray Bradburyās internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 is a masterwork of twentieth-century literature set in a bleak, dystopian future.
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. 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 āfamily.ā But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didnāt live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television.
When Mildred attempts suicide and Clarisse suddenly disappears, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known. He starts hiding books in his home, and when his pilfering is discovered, the fireman has to run for his life.
