SynopsisA newly revised text for A Clockwork Orange's 50th anniversary brings the work closest to its author's intentions., A Clockwork Orange is as brilliant, transgressive, and influential as when it was published fifty years ago. A nightmare vision of the future told in its own fantastically inventive lexicon, it has since become a classic of modern literature and the basis for Stanley Kubrick's once-banned film, whose recent reissue has brought this revolutionary tale on modern civilization to an even wider audience. Andrew Biswell, PhD, director of the International Burgess Foundation, has taken a close look at the three varying published editions alongside the original typescript to recreate the novel as Anthony Burgess envisioned it. We publish this landmark edition with its original British cover and six of Burgess's own illustrations.

  • Disturbing

    I have known of this novel and, of course, the movie ever since the movie came out but I was not aware of its content. Having read the novel, I would not want to see the movie. It was most disturbing. However, like me, you might want to read the novel so that you too have first hand knowledge of it.

  • For the Kubrick completionist, it's a must.

    It's a legendary edition of the book. I've been seeking it for years.

  • Intricate

    Excellant, but somewhat complicated. It's good to reread it and pick up more details.
