Beskrivning
Fahrenheit 451 je danas već klasično antiutopijsko djelo. Stoji uz bok Orwellovom 1984 i Huxleyevom Vrlom novom svijetu kao opis robovanja zapadnjačke civilizacije zabavnim medijima, drogi i konformizmu. Bradbyrijeva vizija je zapanjujuće proročanska, premda napisana prije 40 godina: ekrani veličine zida prikazuju interaktivne tv-sapunice, ljudi hodaju ničeg svjesni oko sebe osim stalne pop-glazbe i vijesti iz mini-slušalica u ušima, a knjige su zabranjene i spaljuju se. Autorova snažna i poetska proza i dandanas djeluje šokantno, više negoli onda kad je napisana.

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!
I am aware of the importance of this book that's why I gave it three stars. However, I did not like the style of writing, I felt as if I was reading a book assigned at school. It may come from the translation I've read but nonetheless it made it hard for me to read.
