A Clockwork Orange

Dystopian exploration of free will and morality.

"A Clockwork Orange" is a striking read for those who aren't faint of heart and are looking to delve into the darker aspects of human nature and society. The book's unique language, "Nadsat," immerses you in Alex's twisted worldview, making for a thought-provoking experience. It grapples with profound themes such as the nature of evil and the limits of state power over the individual. If you appreciate a challenging read that pushes boundaries and inspires deep reflection, this book is a masterpiece that you won't easily forget.

Description

A vicious fifteen-year-old "droog" is the central character of this 1963 classic, whose stark terror was captured in Stanley Kubrick's magnificent film of the same title. In Anthony Burgess's nightmare vision of the future, where criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology. A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. When the state undertakes to reform Alex—to "redeem" him—the novel asks, "At what cost?" This edition includes the controversial last chapter not published in the first edition and Burgess's introduction "A Clockwork Orange Resucked".
