Description
The daring dystopian satire that inspired one of the most notorious films ever made, beautifully reimagined as part of the Penguin Essentials series '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. ________________ 'A gruesomely witty cautionary tale' Time 'Not only about man's violent nature and his capacity to choose between good and evil. It is about the excitements and intoxicating effects of language' Daily Telegraph 'I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language . . . a very funny book' William S. Burroughs 'One of the cleverest and most original writers of his generation' The Times

Read this Book before watching the award winning movie by Stanley Kubrick
"Penguin Classics" once again saves our money by publishing this classic novella by Burges. Any one who thoroughly wants to enjoy the movie by the same name must first read this book.
Though the font size in these "penguin classic" edition are quite small but it's really comfortable in case of this book because it's only of 140 pages.
A must read for literary fiction fans .
If u like this book , you might also like "Brave New World" by

Very Horrorshow
I like this book a lot. The Nadsat slang is funny. The violence is not too explicitly described. And I appreciate the last chapter of this novel because Burgess was trying to give a positive message. The introduction given at the start of the book must be read for a better understanding of the theme of the novel. The book was in pristine condition, good quality, good print, well packed and at a a discounted price when I purchased it. A good read this was.

Bloody Perfect
The Flipkart delivery was perfect as usual.
The book is based on the premise that every man needs the ability to decide his own fate and personality than being conditioned to a different person on the whim of the society.
The author's use of nadsat vocabulary through out the novel gives the book a very sophisticated feel, but it is worth it.
Do yourself a favor, read this book before you do anything else

philosophy behind the book
First of all there was no need of that last chapter Mr Burgess your American publisher's had been right.
This book just makes you question
Is it really as bad to be bad or is it just the fear and moral obligations thrust upon us by the society that makes us tamper with our true nature and behave of only permitted sorts to please in a way everyone around us.
Disorder is the nature of the universe so indeed some obnoxiousness is natural to the behavior of all living being's & maybe religion w...

A Masterpiece
Wonderful...Humorous..And the language is mindblowing...and a delight to read...the language at first may seem difficult but once you get the hold of it...u will find it hard to stop reading...and for obvious reasons do read the book before seeing the movie..

Brilliant
An absolute delight to read. Language might be bit of a pain in the beginning , since Author has used a mix of russian influenced argot. But once you get a grip of it, you cant stop flipping through the pages. Excellent service by flipkart !!
