About this book

In Anthony Burgess's vision of a future where criminals operate freely after dark, the narrative follows Alex, a teenager who narrates the story in an inventive slang that reflects his and his friends' rebellion against society. The novel presents a dystopian scenario centered on questions of good, evil, and human freedom. This edition restores the controversial final chapter that was omitted from the original publication and includes Burgess's introduction titled "A Clockwork Orange Resucked."
