A Clockwork Orange

n a violent future where the streets belong to ruthless youth gangs after dark, teenager Alex revels in chaos, leading his friends through a world fueled by brutality and rebellion. Narrating his story in a striking, invented slang, Alex offers a vivid and unsettling glimpse into a society grappling with crime, morality, and control.

As his life takes an unexpected turn, Alex becomes the subject of a radical experiment that raises profound questions about justice, free will, and whether goodness has any value when it is forced upon a person. Both provocative and unforgettable, A Clockwork Orange remains one of the most influential dystopian novels ever written, challenging readers to confront the boundaries between choice, punishment, and humanity.

This edition includes Anthony Burgess's original final chapter (omitted from the first American publication) as well as the author's reflective introduction, "A Clockwork Orange Resucked," offering additional insight into the novel's enduring legacy. Illustrated with six accompanying images.
