VersandkostenfreiNearly seventy 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 relevant than ever before.
Guy Montag is a fireman. 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 "family." But when 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.

Pressestimmen
"Frightening in its implications . . . Mr. Bradbury's account of this insane world, which bears many alarming resemblances to our own, is fascinating." -The New York Times
Bewertungen

Ein Klassiker, der auch beim wiederholten Lesen nichts von seiner Aktualität verliert.
Was wird passieren, wenn die Bücher verschwinden und mit ihnen jede Art von Individualität, jede Art von echten Gefühlen und wenn der Wunsch abhanden kommt, überhaupt darüber nachzudenken, wie man sich fühlt und was man vermisst?
Die Sprache von Ray Bradbury ist fabelhaft, voller Intensität und klar. Was er in den 50er Jahren wusste oder ahnte ist phänomenal.
Absolute Leseempfehlung!
