Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange
Description
Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange
Published by Penguin Books 2000
As new condition
A Clockwork Orange is famous for the same reasons that its author, Anthony Burgess, came to loathe it.
Set in a dystopic near-future in which violent gangs of teenagers – such as that of 15-year-old narrator Alex, who speaks in a Russian-influenced slang in which “droog” means “friend” and “horrorshow” means “good” – rule the streets, the novel interrogated the ugliness of human impulse and the complicated morality of the state withdrawing our freedoms to act upon it. It was released in 1962 to divisive reception, but it wasn’t until 1971, when the novel was adapted for the cinema by Stanley Kubrick, that it became a cultural phenomenon.
