A Clockwork Orange

"A Clockwork Orange" – a literary paradox of the 20th century. Continuing the futuristic traditions in literature, experimenting with the language spoken by the boundary generation of malltshipalltshikov and kisok "overseers", Anthony Burgess creates a novel recognized as a classic... of modern literature. Smart, cruel, charismatic antihero Alex, the leader of a street gang, preaching violence as a high art of life, as a form of pleasure, falls into the iron grip of the latest state program for the rehabilitation of criminals and becomes a victim of violence himself. Is it possible to save the world from evil by depriving a person of the will to act and turning him into a "clockwork orange"? This question is as relevant today as it was yesterday, and this is the question the author poses to the reader.
