Bilingva 451' po Farengejtu / Fahrenheit 451

Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books.

Mozhno li predstavit sebe mir, v kotorom net knig? Kogda derzhat knigi doma, chitat ikh - opasno, ibo presleduetsja po zakonu? Kogda interaktivnoe televidenie uspeshno sluzhit vseobschemu obolvanivaniju, karatelnaja psikhiatrija reshitelno razbiraetsja s redkimi inakomysljaschimi, a na okhotu za neispravimymi dissidentami vykhodit elektricheskij pes? "451 po Farengejtu" - odna iz samykh izvestnykh i samykh chitaemykh knig v mire. I eto zalog togo, chto vymysel Bredberi nikogda ne stanet realnostju.
