Guy Montag was a fireman whose job it was to start fires...

The system was simple. Everyone understood it. Books were for burning...along with the houses in which they were hidden.

Guy Montag enjoyed his job. He had been a fireman for ten years, and he had never questioned the pleasure of the midnight runs nor the joy of watching pages consumed by flames...never questioned anything until he met a seventeen-year-old girl who told him of a past when people were not afraid.

Then he met a professor who told him of a future in which people could think...and Guy Montag suddenly realized what he had to do! --back cover

Una buena distopía

Esperaba un Orwell y terminé un poco decepcionado. El mundo que construye está interesante pero no indaga demasiado en él, algunas partes parecen inconexas y solo estar ahí para continuar con la historia. Vale la pena leerlo completamente por una parte muy particular del final, sí lo lees, sabrás cuál es cuando llegues ahí.

Da brividi

Potrei ripetere il solito sproloquio su come questo libro, come 1984 e tante altre critiche sociali d'inizio secolo, sia incredibilmente attuale, ma sarebbe limitato. Sono rimasto sconvolto da come ci sia un'intera sequenza di circa otto pagine che praticamente racconti la decadenza del mercato culturale di massa a cui abbiamo assistito, a quanto pare facilmente prevedibile già 70 anni fa, quando questo romanzo fu scritto.

Il libro è eccellente, dovrebbero leggerlo tutti, un vero classico moderno.
