Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Guy Montag, the protagonist of the novel, lives in a fireproof villa surrounded by a civilization of jet cars, rocket planes, mechanical music, and police helicopters with mechanical "hounds" that track criminals with chemical precision. But who is this "criminal"? It is anyone who breaks the fundamental law of this utopian society: those who own and read books, who think independently, and who dare to challenge prescribed thoughts. Montag commits this "crime," leading to a terrifying manhunt orchestrated by the police in their helicopters. The story unfolds with the mechanized terror of a mechanical hound pursuing him, a horrifying televised report of the chase, and the ultimate destruction of this dehumanized world. This is one of Bradbury's finest works, reflecting a distorted mirror of modern civilization that fails to bring true happiness when it suppresses the most valuable aspect of humanity—thought.
