Fahrenheit 451. Ray Bradbury263 руб
Guy Montag is a fireman. The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. The Classic novel of a post-literate future, Fahrenheit 451 is part of the Voyager Classic series. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. Bradbury’s powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to creat a novel which, forty years on from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock. It stands alongside Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World as a prophetic account of Western civilization’s enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. 2012 |
