Welcome to the second meeting of the English Book Club.<\/p>\n
This time we will read Ray Bradbury’s 451\u00b0 Fahrenheit, a worldwide bestseller and classic dystopian novel.<\/p>\n
Bradbury’s philosophical anti-utopia paints a dark picture of a post-industrial society: a future world in which special fire brigades mercilessly burn everything without exception. The possession of books is forbidden and prosecuted by law, and interactive television becomes a means of massively fooling the public. The rare dissenter is brutally punished, and the Mechanical Dog is used to hunt down incorrigible dissidents. One of his victims is Guy Montague, a former “fireman”. <\/p>\n
Montague’s epiphany, which has remained relevant for more than 70 years, warns us of what might happen to a high-tech society that has abandoned the tradition of independent thinking, which is symbolised by books in the novel.<\/p>\n
The book is available at the Klaip\u0117da County Ievos Simonaityt\u0117 Public Library.<\/p>\n
The meeting will be held in English.<\/p>\n
The club is moderated by Celeste Ganderson.<\/p>\n
We look forward to welcoming all those who would like to spend an interesting and informative evening and participate in the discussion in English.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
