A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

Original price was: $40.00.Current price is: $25.00.

  • In the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn’t go as planned.A new critical edition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of A Clockwork Orange — one of the most influential books of the twentieth century.First published by William Heinemann in 1962, A Clockwork Orange is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. For more than twenty years A Clockwork Orange circulated in two distinct editions with two different endings. This special edition to mark the 50th Anniversary of first publication restores the text of the novel as Burgess originally wrote it, along with a selection of interviews, articles, reviews and other previously unpublished material.Featuring a biographical introduction by Andrew Biswell, Burgess’s biographer — examining the background to the novel’s composition and its subsequent editorial and publication history — this new edition also includes the full novel, newly edited from the 1961 typescript with the restoration of illustrations and music and a previously unpublished dramatic prologue from the Burgess archive in Austin, Texas.This new edition places the novel within its immediate historical and cultural contexts and will be the definitive edition to excite critics and readers alike.
