  Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family." But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn't live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.

  In Referent, Ray Bradbury crafts a thought-provoking and imaginative short story that delves into the complexities of human memory, identity, and the connections we form with the world around us.

  Through Bradbury's poetic and vivid prose, Referent touches on themes of nostalgia, loss, and the human need to hold onto the past. As the characters navigate a landscape where memories can be manipulated, Bradbury poses intriguing questions about what makes us who we are and how technology might reshape that understanding.
  
  True to Bradbury's style, Referent is a blend of speculative fiction, emotional depth, and philosophical inquiry, making it a compelling read for fans of his work and those who appreciate richly layered, contemplative stories. Read more Close

  In Irritated People, Ray Bradbury offers a sharp and insightful exploration of human nature, capturing the frustrations, anxieties, and tensions that arise in everyday life. Set in a near-future world that feels both familiar and subtly altered, the story delves into the lives of ordinary individuals who, pushed to their limits by modern pressures, find themselves unraveling in unexpected ways.
  
  Through his characteristic blend of poetic prose and keen social observation, Bradbury portrays how minor irritations can escalate into significant conflicts, reflecting larger societal issues. The story's dark humor and poignant moments reveal the fragility of human emotions and the consequences of unchecked frustration in a world where technology and fast-paced living amplify stress.
  
  Irritated People is a thought-provoking and eerily relevant tale, showcasing Bradbury's ability to turn the mundane into a mirror for deeper truths about human behavior and society. Perfect for readers who appreciate speculative fiction with emotional and psychological depth, this story is a compelling examination of the irritations that simmer beneath the surface of modern life.

  • 9786178478520

  In Square Pegs, Ray Bradbury explores the lives of individuals who don't quite fit into society's conventional molds. Set in a world where conformity is prized above all, the story centers on those who are seen as "square pegs" in a world of round holes-people who dare to think differently, dream wildly, and challenge the status quo.
  
  With his signature lyrical prose, Bradbury crafts a tale that celebrates the uniqueness of the human spirit while examining the pressures to conform. The characters, vividly drawn with their quirks and eccentricities, struggle to maintain their individuality in a society that demands uniformity. As they navigate a world that seems determined to mold them into something they're not, Square Pegs becomes a poignant reflection on creativity, freedom, and the courage it takes to remain true to oneself.

  In Pillars of Fire, Ray Bradbury presents a gripping tale that intertwines themes of faith, doubt, and the quest for truth.

  Bradbury's characteristic lyrical prose immerses readers in a world where the boundaries between the sacred and the profane blur. As the characters navigate their personal crises and confront the pillars of their own convictions, they are forced to reevaluate what they hold dear. The narrative deftly explores the duality of human nature-the capacity for both destruction and creation-and the ways in which individuals seek meaning in times of chaos.

  Fahrenheit 451

  Ray Bradbury, Tim Hamilton

  • Philéas
  • 19 January 2023
  • 9782385020132

  451 degrés Fahrenheit représentent la température à laquelle un livre
  s'enflamme et se consume. Dans cette société future où la lecture,
  source de questionnement et de réflexion, est considérée comme un
  acte antisocial, un corps spécial de pompiers est chargé de brûler
  tous les livres dont la détention est interdite pour le bien
  collectif. Guy Montag, le pompier pyromane, se met pourtant à rêver
  d'un monde différent, qui ne bannirait pas la littérature et
  l'imaginaire au profit d'un bonheur immédiatement consommable. Il
  devient dès lors un dangereux criminel, impitoyablement pourchassé
  par une société qui désavoue son passé. Bradbury y critique les
  méfaits de l'émergence d'une culture de masse. Comme le décrit le
  pompier Beatty dans le roman, l'émergence d'une telle société n'a été
  rendue possible que par l'émergence d'une culture de masse, facilitée
  par la déliquescence du système scolaire : « Le cinéma et la radio,
  les magazines, les livres sont nivelés par le bas en une vaste soupe
  ». Les gens se sont désintéressés de la culture et ont préféré faire
  du sport ou regarder la télévision. Read more Close
