"Anthony Burgess reads chapters of his novel A Clockwork Orange with hair-raising drive and energy. Although it is a fantasy set in an Orwellian future, this is anything but a bedtime story." -The New York Times

Told by the central character, Alex, this brilliant, hilarious, and disturbing novel creates an alarming futuristic vision of violence, high technology, and authoritarianism.Anthony Burgess' 1963 classic stands alongside Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World as a classic of twentieth century post-industrial alienation, often shocking us into a thoughtful exploration of the meaning of free will and the conflict between good and evil. In this recording, the author's voice lends an intoxicating lyrical dimension to the language he has so masterfully crafted.

"I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language as Mr. Burgess has done [in A Clockwork Orange]." -William S. Burroughs

My brother read it and loved it, so this is his rating. I tried to read it twice but had to give up after a while. I just couldn't read through all the words Burgess invented. Although it is a classic, I will try to find a copy in portuguese and try to read it again some day.

Sending to Rossella05 as part of the International Reverse Wish List. Enjoy it!

Your package arrived today, thank you for the books Xeyra!

Well, it has been sitting on my shelf for almost two years now and I'm still not in the mood to read it..! I think the best thing to do, is to let it continue its journey, if I change my mind I can always pick up a copy from the local library.
