Fifteen-year-old Alex doesn't just like ultra-violence - he also
enjoys rape, drugs and Beethoven's 9th. He and his gang rampage
through a dystopian future, hunting for terrible thrills. But when
Alex finds himself at the mercy of the state and subject to the
ministrations of Dr Brodsky, the government psychologist, he finds
that fun is no longer the order of the day... The basis for one of
the most notorious films ever made, A Clockwork Orange is
both a virtuoso performance from an electrifying prose stylist and
a serious exploration of the morality of free will.
'I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with
language... a very funny book.'
