Ray Douglas Bradbury, American novelist, short story writer, essayist, playwright, screenwriter and poet, was born August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois. He graduated from a Los Angeles high school in 1938. Although his formal education ended there, he became a "student of life," selling newspapers on L.A. street corners from 1938 to 1942, spending his nights in the public library and his days at the typewriter. He became a full-time writer in 1943, and contributed numerous short stories to periodicals before publishing a collection of them, Dark Carnival, in 1947.

His reputation as a writer of courage and vision was established with the publication of The Martian Chronicles in 1950, which describes the first attempts of Earth people to conquer and colonize Mars, and the unintended consequences. Next came The Illustrated Man and then, in 1953, Fahrenheit 451, which many consider to be Bradbury's masterpiece, a scathing indictment of censorship set in a future world where the written word is forbidden. In an attempt to salvage their history and culture, a group of rebels memorize entire works of literature and philosophy as their books are burned by the totalitarian state. Other works include The October Country, Dandelion Wine, A Medicine for Melancholy, Something Wicked This Way Comes, I Sing the Body Electric!, Quicker Than the Eye, and Driving Blind. In all, Bradbury has published more than thirty books, close to 600 short stories, and numerous poems, essays, and plays. His short stories have appeared in more than 1,000 school curriculum "recommended reading" anthologies.

Ray Bradbury's work has been included in four Best American Short Story collections. He has been awarded the O. Henry Memorial Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America, the PEN Center USA West Lifetime Achievement Award, among others. In November 2000, the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters was conferred upon Mr. Bradbury at the 2000 National Book Awards Ceremony in New York City.

Ray Bradbury has never confined his vision to the purely literary. He has been nominated for an Academy Award (for his animated film Icarus Montgolfier Wright), and has won an Emmy Award (for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree). He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's Ray Bradbury Theater. He was the creative consultant on the United States Pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair. In 1982 he created the interior metaphors for the Spaceship Earth display at Epcot Center, Disney World, and later contributed to the conception of the Orbitron space ride at Euro-Disney, France.

Married since 1947, Mr. Bradbury and his wife Maggie lived in Los Angeles with their numerous cats. Together, they raised four daughters and had eight grandchildren. Sadly, Maggie passed away in November of 2003.

On the occasion of his 80th birthday in August 2000, Bradbury said, "The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me. The feeling I have every day is very much the same as it was when I was twelve. In any event, here I am, eighty years old, feeling no different, full of a great sense of joy, and glad for the long life that has been allowed me. I have good plans for the next ten or twenty years, and I hope you'll come along."

The hauntingly prophetic classic novel set in a not-too-distant future where books are burned by a special task force of firemen. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to burn books, which are forbidden, being the source of all discord and unhappiness. Even so, Montag is unhappy; there is discord in his marriage. Are books hidden in his house? The Mechanical Hound of the Fire Department, armed with a lethal hypodermic, escorted by helicopters, is ready to track down those dissidents who defy society to preserve and read books. The classic novel of a post-literate future, 'Fahrenheit 451' stands alongside Orwell's '1984' and Huxley's 'Brave New World' as a prophetic account of Western civilization's enslavement by the media, drugs and conformity. Bradbury's powerful and poetic prose combines with uncanny insight into the potential of technology to create a novel which over fifty years from first publication, still has the power to dazzle and shock.

一个消防队,它的职责并非灭火救灾,而是随时随地焚书。这个奇特的消防队成立于1790年,最初的宗旨是要烧毁北美殖民地内受英格兰影响的书籍,以后蔓延到所有的图书。华氏451度就是烧书时纸的燃点。美国的开国元勋之一本杰明·富兰克林竟然是其第一位消防员。它有一整套从接警、...

作者设定了一个极权社会的形态。在这个社会里,人们不允许保留书籍,没有人读书,消防队员的职能是发现藏书并且焚毁之。 这其实是很简单的反智社会的设定,也并无太出奇之处。但观察一个世界设定是否强大,不是看梗,还要看细节。这就是说,这个世界的逻辑、规则体现在具体生...

毋庸置疑,布雷德伯里是个诗人。 《华氏451》是布雷德伯里的第一个长篇,也是我第一次读到他的长篇。节选两段他其他几个短篇中的文字: “今晚空气里有股时间的味道。他笑了,脑海里转着这么个怪念头。是有这样一个想法。时间闻起来是个什么味儿,是尘土味,是时钟味,还是人...

I finished 180 pages (roughly) on the 10hr-ish flight back from San Francisco to Beijing; that's the entire novel plus Bradbury's own afterwards and Coda. In terms of pages per minute, this might be a personal record. But that doesn't mean much; I've read...

My EE book. I love the author's exquisite language. It is not hard to distinguish Bradbury's register from others. He loves to write fiction in a poetic and magnificent style. This book is quite short and thus easy to read. I think it also carries a simple mission to warn people of the bleak consequences of hedonism and overusing technology.

歪个楼,作者给书起名的时候,打给化学部,询问纸张自燃的温度是多少,化学部说不知道;又打给物理部,还是不知道;最后灵机一动打给消防局,局长说是451℉,于是作者开心地取了这个名字。(他还吐槽化学部和物理部是二傻子,问啥啥不知,还不给人家查查资料hhhh)
