'I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language ... a very funny book' William S. Burroughs

Fifteen-year-old Alex doesn't just like ultra-violence - he also enjoys rape, drugs and Beethoven's ninth. He and his gang of droogs rampage through a dystopian future, hunting for terrible thrills. But when Alex finds himself at the mercy of the state and subject to the ministrations of Dr Brodsky, and the mind-altering treatment of the Ludovico Technique, he discovers that fun is no longer the order of the day. The basis for Stanley Kubrick's notorious 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange is both a virtuoso performance from an electrifying prose stylist and a serious exploration of the morality of free will.

In his introduction, Blake Morrison situates A Clockwork Orange within the context of Anthony Burgess's many other works, explores the author's unhappiness with the Stanley Kubrick film version, analyses the composition of the Nadsat argot spoken by Alex and his droogs, and examines the influences on Burgess's unique, eternally original style.

– Alex driver en bande med hensynsløse voldelige ungdommer. Da Alex en dag klatrer inn et vindu for å åpne døra på et hus fra innsiden, kommer han med et uhell til å drepe eieren. Han blir tatt av politiet, og får langt fengselsstraff. I løpet av sin tid i fengsel går han med på et forsøk for å senke dommen. Dette er nok ganske sikkert den beste satire boka jeg har lest. Det eneste som er litt dumt med den er at store deler av orda som er brukt er russiske. Det gjør at noe av boka er litt uforståelig. Men ellers er det et mesterverk av en samfunnskritikk. Den er både morsom og dramatisk. Ikke gå glipp av dette mesterverket!!
