Реклама Читай город 451 градус по Фаренгейту451 градус по Фаренгейту. Книга для чтения на английском языке. Повесть знаменитого американского писателя-фантаста 451 градус по Фаренгейту написана более полувека назад, но своей актуальности не потеряла и по сей день. Ее лейтмотив - озабоченность духовным обликом будущего. Будущее, как его видел Бредбери, довольно мрачно: тоталитарное государство, в котором пресекается любое инакомыслие. Реклама, бесконечные телешоу - вот и все, что нужно человеку для безмятежного счастья. Так решило государство, и оно защищает своих граждан в меру собственного разумения: разговаривать друг с другом - значит думать, думать заставляют книги, поэтому, дабы не нарушать покоя обывателей, их надлежит сжигать. 451 градус по Фаренгейту - это температура горения бумаги. Предлагаем вниманию читателей неадаптированный текст повести, снабженный комментариями и словарем. Обложка: Мягкий переплёт

Реклама Читай город The War of the WorldsГерберт Уэллс (1866-1946) знаменит прежде всего своими фантастическими произведениями, основные темы которых (полеты в космосе, атомное оружие, применение лазера, идея невидимости) в современной литературе стали общим местом, а некоторые сменили жанровую принадлежность, обретя реалистичность не только в книгах, но и в обыденной жизни.Роман "Война миров" (1897) изображает вторжение марсиан на Землю: целью своей агрессии они выбрали старую добрую Англию. Техническое, интеллектуальное и военное превосходство инопланетных захватчиков, кажется, не оставляет людям шанса, пусть даже некоторые из них демонстрируют силу духа и отвагу. Не героизм одиночек поможет землянам выжить в бойне, устроенной пришельцами, а простое везение: куда страшнее артиллерии для марсиан окажутся обычные бактерии. Обложка: Твердый переплёт

451 градус по Фаренгейту 451 градус по Фаренгейту. Книга для чтения на английском языке. Повесть знаменитого американского писателя-фантаста 451 градус по Фаренгейту написана более полувека назад, но своей актуальности не потеряла и по сей день. Ее лейтмотив - озабоченность духовным обликом будущего. Будущее, как его видел Бредбери, довольно мрачно: тоталитарное государство, в котором пресекается любое инакомыслие. Реклама, бесконечные телешоу - вот и все, что нужно человеку для безмятежного счастья. Так решило государство, и оно защищает своих граждан в меру собственного разумения: разговаривать друг с другом - значит думать, думать заставляют книги, поэтому, дабы не нарушать покоя обывателей, их надлежит сжигать. 451 градус по Фаренгейту - это температура горения бумаги.

The War of the Worlds Герберт Уэллс (1866-1946) знаменит прежде всего своими фантастическими произведениями, основные темы которых (полеты в космосе, атомное оружие, применение лазера, идея невидимости) в современной литературе стали общим местом, а некоторые сменили жанровую принадлежность, обретя реалистичность не только в книгах, но и в обыденной жизни.Роман "Война миров" (1897) изображает вторжение марсиан на Землю: целью своей агрессии они выбрали старую добрую Англию. Техническое, интеллектуальное и военное превосходство инопланетных захватчиков, кажется, не оставляет людям шанса, пусть даже некоторые из них демонстрируют силу духа и отвагу. Не героизм одиночек поможет землянам выжить в бойне, устроенной пришельцами, а простое везение: куда страшнее артиллерии для марсиан окажутся обычные бактерии.Обложка: Твердый переплёт
