Title : A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess - Book
Summary :
In a dystopian world furiously close to our own, young Alex sets out to commit evil without the slightest remorse: in the company of his drug addicts , he engages in beatings, rape and torture to the sound of classical music. Soon imprisoned, he undergoes chemical treatment that makes him allergic to all forms of violence. Burgess's genius shines through in this unique book, a cross between a futuristic novel and a philosophical tale. The novelist, who was a linguist and composer, also achieved the feat of inventing a language, Nadsat, in which his hero tells his own story. To mark the centenary of Anthony Burgess's birth, his cult novel, A Clockwork Orange , is now enriched with a previously unpublished afterword by the author on the film made from it by Stanley Kubrick, as well as facsimiles of his typescript, illustrated with his own drawings, shedding new light on this classic of English literature.
