A Clockwork Orange (Special Edition)

Book Details

Synopsis

In a nightmarish future, fifteen-year-old Alex and his "droogs" revel in acts of ultraviolence. They steal, kill, and rape, until the State puts an end to their excesses, subjecting him to the Ludovico Technique, an experimental aversion treatment that conditions him to be "good."

This novel is not just the story of a delinquent; it is a brutal exploration of free will, state violence, and the true nature of good and evil. Is it better to be a bad man by choice than a good man by compulsion?

About the author

Anthony Burgess (Manchester, 1917-1993) was a novelist, critic, composer, and, above all, a linguistic genius. His background as a linguist was key to creating "Nadsat," the unforgettable adolescent slang in A Clockwork Orange (1962). Although Stanley Kubrick's famous film immortalized his work, Burgess always disagreed with it, mainly because it was based on the American edition, which omitted the crucial final chapter he wrote and which changes the meaning of the entire novel.
