Guy Montag és bomber en un futur en què, en lloc d’apagar incendis, els bombers tenen la missió de cremar els llibres i perseguir aquells que els llegeixen. Aquest és el punt de partida de Fahrenheit 451, una de les distopies més cèlebres mai escrites sobre una societat grisa i sotmesa per l’estupidesa humana i el cinisme dels governants. Una faula que aborda temes com el poder repressor, la censura i la importància de la literatura i la força de la paraula com a elements vertebradors del pensament i la responsabilitat social davant de la manipulació.
A Classic... that I absolutely disliked from page 5 forward...

A slog. The idea I get, but ugh. I hated the writing style, the way it progressed. I just did not like much of this book at all. Which is probably why I recall nothing about it from high school when I first read it 3x years ago.

I had read this book a long time ago and remembered it as a difficult read - my english was not quite on the same level as it is today. When re-reading it now i was blown away. An amazing story paired with wonderful storytelling. After reading "boring" contemporary novels this was delightfully refreshing

Fênix não tão brilhante

É uma distopia clássica, li há muito tempo mas lembro de não ter achado tão envolvente quanto as primas mais famosas (1984 e Admirável Mundo Novo). Recomendo o conto "Bright Phoenix" que inspirou o livro (é curtinho e achei melhor que o livro).
Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.

There are so many quotes that I have taken away from this book and that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I think one of the main (or, most impactful) ones is 'if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore' - such a beautiful way of saying die doing what's right. It reminds me of the quote from Stéphane Charbonnier who stated, 'I'd rather die standing than live on my knees' (he was later killed by Islamic terrorists who did not agree with the viewpoints he published). I know that many people reading this review might argue that I should have read this book earlier in my life (and they're likely right) but I want to attempt to rebut this by saying that I think, if I were to read Fahrenheit 451 at any younger age, I might not have been …

I'm currently 19 years old, though Fahrenheit was actually one of the first books I ever purchased. It had a beautiful animated cover and came along with Brave New World (which had 3D glasses tucked behind the first page so that you could view the cover image from a different perspective); whilst I would have been able to read both books in my youth, I'm somewhat glad I didn't as I worry I might have ruined them, spoilt them for myself. F451 made me feel so electric with every single word, page, and character. With every single location, event, and detail. It took a little time getting used to the writing style but once I was into it, I was completely in. Sidenote, the detail of the vent in Montag's house was wonderfully done and felt so suspenseful.
'Stuff your eyes with wonder.'

La idea de como el entretenimiento vacío y descartable deja completamente de lado el verdadero conocimiento y posibilidad de autorrealización nunca fue tan real como en la actualidad, dónde la retención de el usuario es cada vez más fugaz y recibe estímulos constantes de todas partes.
Está distopía es un ejemplo de a qué tipo de sociedad podríamos llegar a dirigirnos si no paramos un segundo en contemplar lo que es el contenido de verdad de lo que solo es basura descartable.
