Editorial reviews
In un mondo in cui non si possono leggere libri, cosa accenderà la tua coscienza?
Quando Ray Bradbury arriva a scrivere Fahrenheit 451, il suo romanzo più famoso, l'autore ha già al suo attivo diversi racconti, considerati precursori dell'opera. Qui racconta di un mondo dove la parola scritta è un'arma pericolosa, e le persone che leggono sono criminali da scovare e rinchiudere in prigione. La tecnologia ha ormai preso il sopravvento e i libri sono diventati dei dispositivi obsoleti che devono essere bruciati per prevenire i pensieri confusi e deprimenti che ne possono derivare.
Nel periodo in cui viene concepito quello che è ritenuto il capolavoro di Bradbury, la società americana sta attraversando delle politiche di censura che pongono una minaccia incombente alla libertà di informazione. Tra il maccartismo e la Commissione per le attività anti-americane, non è difficile intuire dove Bradbury abbia preso l’ispirazione per il suo mondo, non troppo lontano anche dal periodo nazista.
Un romanzo distopico, da riscoprire attraverso la voce narrante di Fabrizio Rocchi, che, con la giusta misura di enfasi nei momenti salienti e un sapiente uso delle pause, conferisce ulteriore potenza alle parole, lasciando spazio alle riflessioni dell'ascoltatore.
Publisher's summary
Montag fa il pompiere in un mondo in cui ai pompieri non è richiesto di spegnere gli incendi, ma di accenderli: armati di lanciafiamme, fanno irruzione nelle case dei sovversivi che conservano libri e li bruciano. Così vuole fa legge. Montag però non è felice della sua esistenza alienata, fra giganteschi schermi televisivi, una moglie che gli è indifferente e un lavoro di routine. Finché, dall'incontro con una ragazza sconosciuta, inizia per lui la scoperta di un sentimento e di una vita diversa, un mondo di luce non ancora offuscato dalle tenebre della imperante società tecnologica.

Story
Guy Montag é um bombeiro. Sua profissão é atear fogo nos livros. Em um mundo onde as pessoas vivem em função das telas e a literatura está ameaçada de extinção, os livros são objetos proibidos, e seus portadores são considerados criminosos. Montag nunca questionou seu trabalho; vive uma vida comum, cumpre o expediente e retorna ao final do dia para sua esposa e para a rotina do lar. Até que conhece Clarisse, uma jovem de comportamento suspeito, cheia de imaginação e boas histórias. Quando sua esposa entra em colapso mental e Clarisse desaparece, a vida de Montag não poderá mais ser a mesma.

Story
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Story
451 degrés Fahrenheit représentent la température à laquelle un livre s'enflamme et se consume. Dans cette société future où la lecture, source de questionnement et de réflexion, est considérée commea un acte antisocial, un corps spécial de pompiers est chargé de brûler tous les livres, dont la détention est interdite pour le bien collectif. Montag, le pompier pyromane, se met pourtant à rêver d'un monde différent, qui nae bannirait pas la littérature et l'imaginaire au profit d'un bonheur immédiatement consommable.

Bei 451 Grad Fahrenheit "fängt Bücherpapier Feuer und verbrennt". In dem Staat, den Bradbury in eine nahe Zukunft projiziert, ist die Feuerwehr nicht mehr mit Wasserspritzen ausgerüstet, sondern mit Flammenwerfern, die genau diesen Hitzegrad erzeugen, um die letzten Zeugnisse individualistischen Denkens - die Bücher - zu vernichten. Da beginnt ein Feuerwehrmann, sich Fragen zu stellen...

Story
"Fino a che non diventeranno coscienti del loro potere, non saranno mai capaci di ribellarsi e, fino a che non saranno liberati, non diventeranno mai coscienti del loro potere." L'azione si svolge in un futuro prossimo del mondo (l'anno 1984) in cui il potere si concentra in tre immensi superstati: Oceania, Eurasia ed Estasia. Al vertice del potere politico in Oceania c'è il Grande Fratello, onnisciente e infallibile, che nessuno ha visto di persona ma di cui ovunque sono visibili grandi manifesti.

Story
When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.
