La naranja mecánica

This is a completely revised edition of Anthony Burgess's original text of A Clockwork Orange, with a glossary of adolescent 'Nadsat' slang, explanatory notes, pages of the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews, Edited by Andrew Biswell. Fifteen-year-old Alex likes ultraviolence lashes. He and his gang of friends rob, kill and rape their way through a nightmarish future, until the state puts an end to their rampant 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 that created a new language for its characters.
