'Every generation should discover this book'
Time Out
________________
In this nightmare vision of youth in revolt, fifteen-year-old Alex and his friends set out on a diabolical orgy of robbery, rape, torture and murder. Alex is jailed for his teenage delinquency and the State tries to reform him - but at what cost?
Experiment of language? Social prophecy? Black comedy? A Clockwork Orange is all of these.
Dazzling and transgressive, this frightening fable about good and evil asks the meaning of human freedom.
