Um clássico da distopia com uma mensagem cada vez mais atual.
The amount of relevance this book offers even in todays world, 50 60 years after publication is astounding. Battling against the surge of mass media has never been more important, especially during the newfound era of anti-intellectualism in the United States, where countless of books have been banned by the government for ridiculous reasons. Guy Montags journey from ignorance to realisation is a powerful symbol of escaping the masses and gaining autonomy over oneself. For that, it only needed one curious mind, Clarisse McGlellan, to provoke a few introspective thoughts into Guy Montags mind. I just wish we got to read more about her, not just the first few pages before her death. What also raised my level of enthusiastic reading was the way Ray Bradbury implements his proses. His implementation of metaphors and analogies was great and added a new layer of depth to the short novel
O único ruim é que fui forçada a ler por causa dos estudos, fora isso, me surpreendi bastante!
