A Clockwork Orange

«A Clockwork Orange» – a literary paradox of the 20th century. Continuing the futuristic traditions in literature and experimenting with the language spoken by the transitional generation of malltshipalltshikov and kisok «nadtsatykh», Anthony Burgess creates a novel recognized as a... classic of modern literature. Smart, cruel, charismatic antihero Alex, leader of a street gang, preaching violence as a high art of life, as a form of pleasure, finds himself caught in the iron grips of the latest state program for the re-education 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 the author poses this question to the reader.
