Book of the Month: “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury

COLLOQUIUM: Thursday, October 27 at 19:30 p.m.

“Fahrenheit 451: the temperature at which paper ignites and burns. Guy Montag is a firefighter and a firefighter's job is to burn books, which are banned because they cause discord and suffering. The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic injection, escorted by helicopters, is prepared to track down dissidents who still keep and read books. Like George Orwell's 1984, like Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451 depicts a Western civilization enslaved by media, tranquilizers and conformism.
