By Ray Bradbury
Book Title: Fahrenheit 451
In this novel, Ray Bradbury describes a totalitarian state in which books are destroyed. In fact, there is little invented in this story. Even if the events are fantastic, over the past hundred years, and in the real world, it has been much worse. Is it worth listing the totalitarian regimes of the last century? Of course, starting with the Soviet Union, which tortured and sent its own citizens to concentration camps? And even if you take the modern world, modern Russia, is there nothing in it of the world invented by Bradbury? Is there no banned literature now? Is it possible to freely express your opinion, especially in public?
Perhaps that is why Bradbury’s work seems to me a kind and harmless fairy tale. The book is easy to read.
