Description
A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian horror, a black comedy, and an exploration of choice, written by Anthony Burgess. The novel follows a 15-year-old boy, Alex, and his gang of friends as they rob, kill, and rape their way through a nightmarish future. The State intervenes, and Alex undergoes a process of re-education, raising questions about the nature of free will and morality. This fully restored edition of the novel includes a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles, and reviews. Edited by Andrew Biswell, the edition sheds light on the enduring fascination of the novel's themes and characters. Anthony Burgess's unique blend of exuberant invention and social commentary has created a work of enduring complexity and interest. This critical edition provides a fresh perspective on a novel that continues to appeal to readers with its 'sweet and juicy criminality'.
