Erstmal der Klappentext:

Fifteen-year-old Alex and
his three friends start an evening's
mayhem by hitting an old man,
tearing up his books and stripping him
of money and clothes.

Or rather Alex and his three droogs
tolchock an old veck, razrez his books,
pull off his outer platties and
take a malenky bit of cutter.

For Alex's confessions are written
in 'nadsat' - the teenage argot of a
not-too-distant future.

Because of his delinquent excesses;
Alex is jailed and made subject to
'Ludovico's Technique', a chilling experiment-
in Reclamation Treatment...

Horror farce? Social prophecy?

Penetrating study of human choice between
good and evil? A Clockwork Orange
is all three, dazzling proof of
Anthony Burgess's vast talents.


Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917 and is a
graduate of the University there. After six years in the Army
he worked as an instructor for the Central Advisory Council
for Forces Education, as a college lecturer in Speech and
Drama and as a grammar school master. From 1954—60 he
was an education officer in the Colonial Service, stationed in
Malaya and Borneo.

He became a full-time writer in 1960, though he had
already by then published three novels and a history of
English literature. A late starter in the art of fiction, he has
previously spent much creative energy on music, and has
composed many full-scale works for orchestra and other
media. His Third Symphony was performed in the USA in
1975.

Anthony Burgess believes that in the fusion of musical and
literary form lies a possible future for the novel. His Napoleon
Symphony attempts to impose the shape of Beethoven's Eroua
on the career of the Corsican conqueror. His other books
include The Long Day Wanes: A Malayan Trilogy; the
Enderby novels (including The Clockwork Testament); Tremor
of Intent; a biography of Shakespeare intended to act as a foil
to his Shakespeare novel, Nothing Like the Sun; Honey for the
Bears; The Wanting Seed; MF; Urgent Copy; Beard's Roman
Women; ABBA ABBA; Earthly Powers and The End of the
World News. A Clockwork Orange was made into a film classic
by Stanley Kubrick.

Mr Burgess lives with his second wife and his son in
France, Monaco and Italy, but mostly on the road in a
Bedford Dormobile.
