Fahrenheit 451

Book Review

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by Ray Bradbury, conceived as a warning to humanity about the dangers of censorship and the loss of interest in reading. At the center of the plot is Guy Montag, a fireman whose job is not to extinguish fires but to burn books, as the government has established a regime where books are considered sources of discontent and anxiety. The work immerses the reader in a grim world where critical thinking is suppressed, and superficial entertainment takes precedence. Throughout the novel, Guy realizes the depth of the prevailing madness and begins to seek ways to restore the value of literature and free thought. The book serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving and passing on knowledge through generations, as well as the consequences that may arise from its loss.
