A Clockwork Orange
2 journalers for this copy...
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...
Horro 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.
This is the film tie-in, with the triangle motif cover, and the nadsat dictionary at the back of the book. It also was released without the final chapter, because that wasn't in the film.

RELEASE NOTES:
A birthday RABCK for someone who had this book on their wishlist. Not anyone I know, so a genuine 'random' RABCK. Don't want to say too much, so she doesn't realise what's happening before she gets it. ;)

Wow! Thankyou so much, silvermoonwyrm! Really wasn't expecting this at all, and I love the little hand-made card :)
Looking forward to reading it, probably during the mid-year break.
This has actually really made my day. I was up very late last night working on an assignment and have been feeling kind of crummy as a result. I'm off to class now and I'm hoping I can stay awake (and I'm tempted to take the book with me as it's probably more interesting than the content of the lecture ;) )!
