Lot description Show orginal version
BRADBURY Ray - 451º Fahrenheit. Translated by Adam Kaska. Warsaw 1960, Czytelnik. 16d, pp. 180, [3]. Booklet, wraps.
Very good condition. The wrapper was designed by Roman Cieślewicz. First Polish edition of Bradbury's famous novel, first published in the U.S. in 1953. The action of the work placed its author in a world where reading and even owning books is strictly forbidden, and the main task of the fire department is to burn the few surviving volumes. The novel was directed against television as a tool for total control of society. The title of the book indicates the temperature at which, according to the author, the paper begins to burn. The novel has been screened several times, the first time in 1966 (directed by François Truffaut).
"The novel '451 Fahrenheit' is among the most outstanding dystopias (negative utopias) of the century, showing the processes of human alienation in a world of shattered cultural and civilization values. Bradbury - like Orwell - described a society subjected to control by a totalitarian power that deprives of freedom individuals seeking values on their own" ("Dictionary of Popular Literature", Wr. 1997, p. 36).
