William S. Burroughs

I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language as Mr. Burgess has done here-the fact that this is also a very funny book may pass unnoticed.

Book Description

"Anthony Burgess reads chapters of his novel A Clockwork Orange with hair-raising drive and energy. Although it is a fantasy set in an Orwellian future, this is anything but a bedtime story." -The New York Times

Told by the central character, Alex, this brilliant, hilarious, and disturbing novel creates an alarming futuristic vision of violence, high technology, and authoritarianism.Anthony Burgess' 1963 classic stands alongside Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World as a classic of twentieth century post-industrial alienation, often shocking us into a thoughtful exploration of the meaning of free will and the conflict between good and evil.In this recording, the author's voice lends an intoxicating lyrical dimension to the language he has so masterfully crafted.

"I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language as Mr. Burgess has done [in A Clockwork Orange]." -William S. Burroughs

Recognized as one of the literary geniuses of our time, Anthony Burgess produced thirty-two novels, a volume of verse, sixteen works of nonfiction, and two plays.Originally a composer, his creative output also included countless musical compositions, including symphonies, operas, and jazz.The author's musicality is evident in the lyrical and dramatic reading he gives in this recording.Anthony Burgess died in 1993. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Quite Something, Fév 9 2007
Par N. Fehr (Winkler, MB) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book disturbing, even despite the Nadsat slang that was supposed to take the edge off of what's going on; perhaps my imagination works a bit too well. The slang, I should mention, was really well done - oftentimes when writers try to come up with youthful slang-of-the-future it comes off all wrong and is, in the end, completely lame. This however was not, and although it is a bit confusing at first you are almost automatically substituting terms by the end of the book.
The central philosophical question is, though, a good one; the priest puts it best when he asks if God wants us to just be good or to choose to be good, which is something I guess I hadn't really thought of. It raises some interesting questions about what to do with seemingly irredeemable criminals, but at the same time the novel asserts (and, I think, rightly so) that a person whose free will has been taken away is not much of a person at all.
Anyway, it's a tough one to recommend, and actually I can't really do it. It's not that I didn't like it, exactly, but, yeah. Can't really recommend. You should read it, maybe, but not because I told you it's a good idea.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Fantastic, Even if the Final Chapter Falls Flat, Fév 22 2008
Par D. O'BRIEN "D-O-B" (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
That a book written partially in fictional slang can still be so accessible speaks to the author's immense talent. The only blemish on the novel is the final chapter (the one omitted from the original American publication). I hate to say it, as I'm all for reading a book as the author intended, but removing the last chapter imparts a greater impact on the reader. Regardless, this is a great book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 My Droogies, Déc 14 2007
Par Benjamin Anderson (Fredericton, NB CAN) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This book renewed my love of literature. Burgess' writes in a way that always sounds fresh, no matter what. The language is obviously intense. If you liked Kubrick's masterpiece, you'll love this.
