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.

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...
評分反烏托邦、反英雄、個人與社會的對抗、善惡的對比、暴力的社會現象、個人選擇的存在與否、高雅藝術是否真有感化人的作用;作者基於俄文自造的方言俚語、文字遊戲,3×7的層疊結構設計——這本書的魅力,在我看來可以這麼分成主題/語言兩部分。 根據前言裡的介紹,讓這本書齣...

電影的結局如何已經記不得瞭。a clockwork orange 算不上是epicness,但足以render me a gloomy saturday. Alex充其量是政治博弈的犧牲品, a skorry skorry horrorshow puppet.
評分nadsat查幾遍差不多可以根據前後文猜齣來瞭所以不影響閱讀。隻拍瞭20章的電影的確欠缺瞭一點,clockwork的轉變就沒有體現瞭。When a fictional work fails to show change,when it merely indicates that human character is set,stony,unregenerable,then you are out of the field of the novel and into that of the fable or the allegory.
評分看完全英原版就真的要開始寫論文瞭。這次是絕對賴不瞭瞭。
