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.

摘自《博客大巴》 作者:Manie Stupide 初識《發條橙》,還是在學校的圖書館,(說真的,這裏要有什麼瞭不起的地方,那就是它的圖書館,確切的說,是裏麵的書)。那時候我對什麼國傢機器和機械論道德觀都還一無所知,認真讀過的英國文學作品也隻有艾略特的《荒原》和...
評分如果說將人轉為符號本身就是一種暴力,那麼在暴力與野蠻統治下的所謂文明社會看起來自然是岌岌可危,缺失信任與安全讓社會麵貌更為淩亂、破碎與無序。 1971年,美國電影導演庫布裏剋用時一年半,齣人意錶地拍攝齣一部備受爭議充滿暴力血腥的殘酷影片。該片上映之後引起一片...
評分 評分我的中篇《發條橙》於一九六二年初版,現在時間已過去很久瞭,久得足以為世界文學界所忘卻瞭。然而,它拒絕被忘卻,這主要歸功於斯但利·庫勃裏剋的同名電影。 我自己非常樂意與它斷絕關係,理由有許多,可惜做不到。我收到過學生的來信,說要寫論文討論它,日本的戲劇界也要...
評分用兩天的時間讀完瞭《發條橙》,感覺還是有點微妙的。 這次的閱讀經曆是我第三次和《發條橙》打交道:第一次是從《古書堂事件手帖》中的一個事件中瞭解到瞭故事的情節發展;第二次是看瞭庫布裏剋拍攝的電影;第三次我終於迎來瞭它的原著小說。 說實話,閱讀體驗不是很好。譯本...

評分終於明白美版為什麼去掉最後一章瞭,畫風完全不一樣啊!感覺最後一章有點離題的感覺…中間的討論還是很有意思的,還有黑色幽默,還有政治陰謀…想看看庫布裏剋是怎麼拍的瞭
