Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451 ( Modern Prose)

The story by the famous American science fiction writer Bradbury R. "Fahrenheit 451" was written more than half a century ago, but has not lost its relevance to this day. Its leitmotif is concern about the spiritual appearance of the future. The future, as Bradbury saw it, is rather gloomy: a totalitarian state in which any dissent is suppressed. Advertising, endless TV shows - that's all a person needs for serene happiness. This is what the state decided, and it protects its citizens to the best of its ability: talking to each other means thinking, thinking, say books, therefore, in order not to disturb the peace of the inhabitants, they must be burned. Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which paper burns.
