HTML:Fahrenheit 451: la temperatura a la que el papel se enciende y arde. Guy Montag es un bombero y el trabajo de un bombero es quemar libros, que están prohibidos porque son causa de discordia y sufrimiento. El Sabueso Mecánico del Departamento de Incendios, armado con una letal inyección hipodérmica, escoltado por helicópteros, está preparado para rastrear a los disidentes que aún conservan y leen libros. Como 1984, de George Orwell, como Un mundo feliz, de Aldous Huxley, Fahrenheit 451 describe una civilización occidental esclavizada por los medios, los tranquilizantes y el conformismo. La visión de Bradbury es asombrosamente profética: pantallas de televisión que ocupan paredes y exhiben folletines interactivos; avenidas donde los coches corren a 150 kilómetros por hora persiguiendo a peatones; una población que no escucha otra cosa que una insípida corriente de música y noticias transmitidas por unos diminutos auriculares insertados en las orejas. «Fahrenheit 451 es el más convincente de todos los infier… (más)
readafew: Both books are about keeping the people in control and ignorant.
BookshelfMonstrosity: A man's romance-inspired defiance of menacing, repressive governments in bleak futures are the themes of these compelling novels. Control of language and monitors that both broadcast to and spy on people are key motifs. Both are dramatic, haunting, and thought-provoking.… (más)
grizzly.anderson: A great study of how Bradbury came to write Fahrenheit 451 as a progress through his own short stories, letters and drafts. A similar collection of stories but without some of the other material is also available as "A Pleasure To Burn"
lquilter: "A Gift Upon the Shore" is a post-apocalyptic world; some people seek to preserve books and knowledge, but they are seen as a danger to others. Beautifully written.
Sixty years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury's internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stand as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before.
Fahrenheit 451 cuenta la historia de un sombrío y horroroso futuro. Montag, el protagonista, pertenece a una extraña brigada de bomberos cuya misión , paradójicamente , no es la de sofocar incendios , sino la de provocarlos para quemar libros. Porque en el país de Montag esta terminantemente prohibido leer. Porque leer obliga a pensar, y en el impide ser ingenuamente feliz , y en el país de Montag hay que ser feliz a la fuerza.... ( )
Ahora se le llama a este tipo de novelas "distopías". Bueno, pues una muy buena "distopía". Como siempre en estos casos, algunos detalles resultan especialmente inquietantes, como la televisión personalizada (los personajes parecen dirigirse personalmente a uno) en las cuatro paredes, o el ruido fortísimo y permanente. En cambio, la idea principal, lo de quemar los libros para que la gente no vaya pensando por ahí no creo que llegue: no es necesario, los lectores somo clara minoría sin necesidad de quemar los libros. pero ahí estamos, resistimos a los 451 grados Fahrenheit ( )
I think Sci-Fi books are as they are thanks to their potential for guessing problems that will come with the "progress" of science and technology, more than their level of accuracy to anticipate details about innovations in the future. From that point of view, Bradbury was a master of Sci-Fi when wrote this book, sixty years later, is evident that most of the humanity is more like Mildred... But I'm not as pessimistic as Bradbury about technology in our lives, ironically, I read Fahrenheit 451 in a screen and, sometimes, with an auricular in my ear (text to speech technology). I enjoyed this book. ( )
Trabajo para evitar un futuro sin educación. Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451 ofrece la historia de un sombrío y horroroso futuro. Montag, el protagonista, pertenece a una extraña brigada de bomberos cuya misión, paradojicamente, no es la de sofocar incendios sino la de provocarlos para quemar libros. Porque en el país de Montag esta terminantemente prohibido leer. Porque leer obliga a pensar, y en el país de Montag esta prohibido pensar. Porque leer impide ser ingenuamente feliz, y en el país de Montag hay que ser feliz a la fuerza? Ray Bradbury (1920) es uno de los grandes maestros estadounidenses de la ficción científica y fantástica. Si bien es celebre por sus novelas (Crónicas marcianas, Fahrenheit 451 ), también ha cultivado el relato (Las doradas manzanas del sol), el ensayo, la poesía y el guion. ( )
Classique parmi les classiques, Fahrenheit 451 est à la SF ce que le Dracula de Stocker est au fantastique. Cette œuvre est une contre-utopie à la mesure du Meilleur des mondes de Huxley ou à 1984 de Orwell. C’est dire…
This intriguing idea might well serve as a foundation on which to build a worst of all possible worlds. And to a certain extent it does not seem implausible. Unfortunately, Bradbury goes little further than his basic hypothesis. The rest of the equation is jerry-built.

It doesn't matter what you do, he said, so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
But that's the wonderful things about man; he never gets so discouraged or disgusted that he gives up doing it all over again, because he knows very well it is important and worth the doing.
But remember that the Captain belongs to the most dangerous enemy of truth and freedom, the solid unmoving cattle of the majority. Oh, God, the terrible tyranny of the majority.
I'm afraid of children my own age. they kill each other. Did it always use to be that way? My uncle says no. Six of my firends have been shot in the last year alone. Ten of them died in car wrecks. I'm afraid of them and they don't like me because I'm afraid. My uncle says his grandfather remembered when children didn't kill each other. But that was a long time ago when they had things different. They believed in responsibility, my uncle says. Do you know, I'm responsible. I was spanked when I needed it, years ago. And I do all the shopping and housecleaning by hand.
The same infinite detail and awareness could be projected through the radios and televisors, but are not. No, no, it's not books at all you're looking for! Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us. Of course you couldn't know this, of course you still can't understand what I mean when I say all this.
There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches. Every minority, be it Baptist/Unitarian, Irish/Italian/Octogenarian/Zen Buddhist, Zionist/Seventh-day Adventist, Women’s Lib/Republican, Mattachine/FourSquareGospel feels it has the will, the right, the duty to douse the kerosene, light the fuse. Every dimwit editor who sees himself as the source of all dreary blanc-mange plain porridge unleavened literature, licks his guillotine and eyes the neck of any author who dares to speak above a whisper or write above a nursery rhyme.
Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.
Do you know why books such as this are so important? Because they have quality. And what does the word quality mean? To me it means texture. This book has pores. It has features. This book can go under the microscope. You'd find life under the glass, streaming past in infinite profusion. The more pores, the more truthfully recorded details of life per square inch you can get on a sheet of paper, the more "literary" you are. That's my definition, anyway. Telling detail. Fresh detail. The good writers touch life often.
Most of us can't rush around talking to everyone, know all the cities of the world, we haven't time, money or that many friends. The things you're looking for, Montag, are in the world, but the only way the average chap will ever see ninety-nine per cent of them is in a book.
"Stuff your eyes with wonder," he said, "live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal."
