Celebrate the 40th anniversary of this timeless classic with a special edition featuring a new foreword by the author and a message that is as relevant today as when it was first published.

Since the late 1940s, Ray Bradbury has been revered for his works of science fiction and fantasy. With more than 4 million copies in print, Fahrenheit 451 -- originally published in 1953 -- remains his most acclaimed work:

"One of the most brilliant overall jobs of social satire."
The Nation

"Frightening in its implications...Mr. Bradbury's account of this insane world, which bears many alarming resemblances to our own, is fascinating."
The New York Times

Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book paper burns. Fahrenheit 451 is a short novel set in the (perhaps near) future when "firemen" burn books forbidden by the totalitarian "brave new world" regime. The hero, according to Mr. Bradbury, is "a book burner who suddenly discovers that books are flesh and blood ideas and cry out silently when put to the torch."

Today, when libraries and schools are still "burning" certain books, Fahrenheit 451 is a work of even greater impact and timeliness.

    Letto inizialmente una ventina abbondante di anni fa, con un ricordo abbastanza netto della trama e del messaggio... ripescato in ebook per una lettura recente, ma trovato in francese.
    La lingua non cambia il messaggio e le amosfere, anche se l'impatto risulta smorzato dal trascorrere del tempo e dalla scarsa descrizione di come sia il mondo in cui ci troviamo, difetto presente in molti romanzi del periodo.
    Adesso devo rileggerlo in inglese, la sola versione che mi manca.
