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

走出走进，这本书就显眼地摆在那。听说此书尺度之大，一直没敢读，因为曾经看过一部类似的电影《守望者》，在观影的几小时中，这种赤裸裸拆解人性黑暗面的故事一直带给我萎靡不振的精神状态。读此书时亦是如此，当作者十分连贯地讲述发生在同一个夜晚的几件丑事，一度使我怀疑...

原本有一大堆槽点要吐，但现在看完电影，又经过一天的自我情绪消化，又不愿多说什么了。 1、作者才华没撑起故事立意，细节处理跟不上，且还跑偏为自创的所谓黑话语言自鸣得意，完全是顾此失彼失了重点。 2、译者是真的很拖后腿了，文邹邹的文言文和当下网络流行用语的结合使用...  

摘自《博客大巴》 作者：Manie Stupide 初识《发条橙》，还是在学校的图书馆，（说真的，这里要有什么了不起的地方，那就是它的图书馆，确切的说，是里面的书）。那时候我对什么国家机器和机械论道德观都还一无所知，认真读过的英国文学作品也只有艾略特的《荒原》和...  

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...

was so troubled with the so-called nadsat

What's it gonna be then, eh?

治愈

再见，再见，真的没有阅读的快乐，我喜欢的Alex居然被拉去改造回到正常人的生活了。。Maybe, I think that was part of my problem with the novel. also, I felt out of place and unsure of myself for a good portion of it because I really struggled with the language. Like being a tourist in a hostile city.

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