Bienvenidos a este episodio de Bibliotequeando, les habla Ricardo Lugo. Antes de comenzar con el resumen de este libro, les quiero invitar a que nos sigan en las redes arroba bibliotequeando y que se suscriban al nuevo canal de YouTube donde estaremos discutiendo, entrevistando y dialogando con autores de distintos libros en todo tipo de temas. El libro o resumen que les traemos hoy es Fahrenheit 451 de Ray Bradbury, uno de los libros sobre sociedades distópicas más famosos de toda la literatura. Let's start with the summary. This book, Fahrenheit 451, those who listen to me know that I studied university in the United States and I read this book at that time, 10 years ago. And for me it was always a very impressive book because around me I was surrounded by Americans who were trying to censor.
to censor certain people who came to speak at the university or certain people who were going to discuss a controversial topic. And I found it ironic that I, being a foreigner, was reading a book by a great American author who was sending them the message of not censoring. But the book focuses specifically on this, since it is a dystopian society where books are totally forbidden. and the firemen are in charge of burning any book that is found, not a single type of book as it usually happens in real life, but any type of book and that is part of the message that if you open that door to censorship, you do not know who is going to close it or if you can close it. The name of the novel of course is 451, the temperature in which the paper is burned and burned and this has something, the context is a bit personal for Bradbury, for the author,
Because when he was a child, growing up in Illinois, near Chicago, he used to visit the fire station a lot with his father. And he always came from a very humble family, very poor. Well, as most families were at that time. He grew up during the time of the Great Depression, a time of total economic chaos in the United States. We are talking about the end of 1920, the beginning of 1930. Y el 78% del país de Estados Unidos vivía en pobreza extrema. Estamos hablando comparación hoy en día. My country, Venezuela, has 70%. South Sudan, which is the poorest country, has 83%. So the United States was basically at the same level as South Sudan, which is the poorest country today. In a very difficult time, not everyone was eating three times a day, including him, and his parents did not have money to send him to university.
So from a very young age, he realized that his studies were going to have to be handled by himself. He was always visiting libraries, he was always reading. And when he was about 20 years old, World War II began. And he is learning that Germany, Hitler, of course, is burning books. We talked about this in the book thief. Russia is burning books. Then China began to burn books. Or better said, they find out. All these things have happened before, but they began to find out about the West, about what is happening on the other side of the Atlantic. And he realized that this was new. He started reading more about the Library of Alexandria and how the Romans destroyed all that great human knowledge.
