Synopsis "Fahrenheit 451 (in Catalan)"

Nova edició del clàssic més actual de Ray Bradbury, en el centenari de l’autor.Guy Montag és bomber en un futur en què, en lloc d’apagar incendis, els bombers tenen la missióde cremar els llibres i perseguir aquells que els llegeixen. Aquest és el punt de partida de Fahrenheit451, una de les distopies més cèlebres mai escrites sobre una societat grisa i sotmesa per l’estupidesahumana i el cinisme dels governants. Una faula que aborda temes com el poder repressor, la censura ila importància de la literatura i la força de la paraula com a elements vertebradors del pensament i laresponsabilitat social davant de la manipulació.

Ray Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois, USA. During the Great Depression, he moved with his family to Los Angeles, where he graduated in 1938 from Los Angeles High School. His academic education ended there, but he continued to educate himself until he became a professional writer in 1943. His most famous works are "The Martian Chronicles" (1950), "The Illustrated Man" (1951), and "Fahrenheit 451" (1953). Bradbury has also written countless TV scripts, essays, and poems in addition to novels. His concern as a writer not only focuses on questioning the current way of life, but also delves into the realm of the fantastic and wonderful, with a poetic and sometimes provocative style. In his childhood, Bradbury was very prone to nightmares and horrible fantasies, which he later captured in his stories many years later.
