Ürün Tanıtımı

A Clockwork Orange is the daringand electrifying book by Anthony Burgess that inspired one of the mostnotorious films ever made, beautifully repackaged as part of the PenguinEssentials range.

'What's it going to be then, eh?'

In this nightmare vision of youthin revolt, fifteen-year-old Alex and his friends set out on a diabolical orgyof robbery, rape, torture and murder. Alex is jailed for his teenagedelinquency and the State tries to reform him - but at what cost?

Social prophecy? Black comedy?Study of freewill? A Clockwork Orange is all of these. It is also a dazzlingexperiment in language, as Burgess creates a new language - 'nadsat', theteenage slang of a not-too-distant future.
