Description
Fully restored edition of Anthony Burgess' original text
Edited by Andrew Biswell
With a Foreword by Martin Amis
Fifteen-year-old Alex likes lashings of ultraviolence. He and his gang of friends rob, kill, and rape their way through a nightmarish future, until the State puts a stop to his riotous excesses. But what will his re-education mean?
A dystopian horror, a black comedy, an exploration of choice, A Clockwork Orange is also a work of exuberant invention which created a new language for its characters. This critical edition restores the text of the novel as Anthony Burgess originally wrote it, and includes a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles, and reviews, shedding light on the enduring fascination of the novel's 'sweet and juicy criminality'.
