具体描述

Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of this timeless classic with a special edition featuring a new introduction by the author and a message that is more relevant today than when it was first published. Since the late 1940s, Ray Bradbury has been revered for his works of science fiction and fantasy. With more than five million copies in print, "Fahrenheit 451" -- originally published in 1953 -- remains his most acclaimed work.Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book paper burns. "Fahrenheit 451" is a novel set in the (perhaps near) future when "firemen" burn books forbidden by a totalitarian "brave new world" regime. The hero, according to Mr. Bradbury, is "a book burner who suddenly discovers that books are flesh-and-blood ideas and cry out silently when put to the torch." Today, when libraries and schools in this country and all over the world are still "burning" certain books, "Fahrenheit 451" remains a brilliantly readable and suspenseful work of even greater impact and timeliness.

读后感

书的意义是什么？ 曾经在美国的自驾游中，我和我的姐姐表达过：“我希望有一本书能够指导我一切我需要的社会知识，能够告诉我一切看人、对待人的方法，能够让我毫无畏惧的踏上社会” 我姐姐的回答是：“这种天书是绝对不存在的，相对应的，社会才是给你这些知识的根本。” 放眼...  

I finished 180 pages (roughly) on the 10hr-ish flight back from San Francisco to Beijing; that's the entire novel plus Bradbury's own afterwards and Coda. In terms of pages per minute, this might be a personal record. But that doesn't mean much; I've read...  

华氏451度—— =纸张的燃点； =书籍的燃点； =知识的燃点； =理性的燃点； =自由的燃点； =人性的燃点。 当旧世界一切可以被冠以高尚，美德，圣洁，美好的物质与精神被燃烧毁灭殆尽之时，正是一个崭新的混沌的新世界的起始点——以华氏451度为界。  

本书建立在一项事实和一个假设的基础之上。 那个事实是，人类不爱思考。虽然有着尺寸惊人的大脑，但相对于抽象的、甚或枯燥的思考，大多数人在大多数时候，还是更愿意也更善于接收和处理各种各样的感官刺激。书既是思考的成果，也是思考的媒介，读书是对思想和意志的挑战与磨...
