A Clockwork Orange

John Anthony Burgess Wilson, FRSL ( 25 February 1917 – 22 November 1993), who published under the name Anthony Burgess, was an English writer and composer. Although Burgess was predominantly a comic writer, his dystopian satire A Clockwork Orange remains his best-known novel. In 1971, it was adapted into a highly controversial film by Stanley Kubrick, which Burgess said was chiefly responsible for the popularity of the book. Burgess produced numerous other novels, including the Enderby quartet, and Earthly Powers. He wrote librettos and screenplays, including for the 1977 TV mini-series Jesus of Nazareth. He worked as a literary critic for several publications, including The Observer and The Guardian, and wrote studies of classic writers, notably James Joyce. A versatile linguist, Burgess lectured in phonetics, and translated Cyrano de Bergerac, Oedipus Rex, and the opera Carmen, among others. Burgess also composed over 250 musical works; he considered himself as much a composer as an author, although he enjoyed considerably more success in writing

Fully restored edition of Anthony Burgess' original text of A Clockwork Orange, with a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews Edited by Andrew Biswell With a Foreword by Martin Amis 'It is a horrorshow story ...' Fifteen-year-old Alex likes lashings of ultraviolence. He and his gang of friends rob, kill and rape their way through a nightmarish future, until the State puts a stop to his riotous excesses. But what will his re-education mean? A dystopian horror, a black comedy, an exploration of choice, A Clockwork Orange is also a work of exuberant invention which created a new language for its characters. This critical edition restores the text of the novel as Anthony Burgess originally wrote it, and includes a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews, shedding light on the enduring fascination of the novel's 'sweet and juicy criminality'. Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917 and educated at Xaverian College and Manchester University. He spent six years in the British Army before becoming a schoolmaster and colonial education officer in Malaya and Brunei. After the success of his Malayan Trilogy, he became a full-time writer in 1959. His books have been published all over the world, and they include The Complete Enderby, Nothing Like the Sun, Napoleon Symphony, Tremor of Intent, Earthly Powers and A Dead Man in Deptford. Anthony Burgess died in London in 1993. Andrew Biswell is the Professor of Modern Literature at Manchester Metropolitan University and the Director of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. His publications include a biography, The Real Life of Anthony Burgess, which won the Portico Prize in 2006. He is currently editing the letters and short stories of Anthony Burgess.

读后感

发条橙堪称英国版麦田守望者，看我看下来，整个故事真的和麦田守望者差好远，后者明显有趣很多。发条橙，或许是因为各个版本不一样，我看的这个版本真的是没觉得痛快，像是一场没有高潮的性爱，几度即将达到高潮但最终还是没有达到高潮，除了凌乱的一些龌蹉的情节像孤星闪耀一...  

我的中篇《发条橙》于一九六二年初版，现在时间已过去很久了，久得足以为世界文学界所忘却了。然而，它拒绝被忘却，这主要归功于斯但利·库勃里克的同名电影。 我自己非常乐意与它断绝关系，理由有许多，可惜做不到。我收到过学生的来信，说要写论文讨论它，日本的戏剧界也要...  

《发条橙》是一部很有哲理意义的小说，在情节结构上，人为安排的因素较多，故事的对称性颇受东方固果报应思想的影响，这当然加强了这个中篇小说的戏剧色彩。不过，作者的意图是要说明，小流氓们的所作所为--恶，是不好，但也不一定是最糟的情况；其理由是"善"里面包含了...

this book is fucking brilliant/被诟病的最后一章我倒觉得衔接得蛮自然的 不过burgess自己也说这本too didactic to be artistic了（。/语言棒到我读的瞠目结舌 麻麻我以后说话只用nadsat哼

Gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh oh-ho-ho!!! 大贊！！！ 又一部徹底被電影誤導的書。

What's it gonna be then, eh?

看完全英原版就真的要开始写论文了。这次是绝对赖不了了。

柏金斯写了四页纸，告诉人们第21章是多么重要，因为它彰显了人性之美。呵呵呵。人性的美丑不会因为你封建卫道士的几张纸就定论。
