John Anthony Burgess Wilson, FRSL ( 25 February 1917 – 22 November 1993), who published under the name Anthony Burgess, was an English writer and composer. Although Burgess was predominantly a comic writer, his dystopian satire A Clockwork Orange remains his best-known novel. In 1971, it was adapted into a highly controversial film by Stanley Kubrick, which Burgess said was chiefly responsible for the popularity of the book. Burgess produced numerous other novels, including the Enderby quartet, and Earthly Powers. He wrote librettos and screenplays, including for the 1977 TV mini-series Jesus of Nazareth. He worked as a literary critic for several publications, including The Observer and The Guardian, and wrote studies of classic writers, notably James Joyce. A versatile linguist, Burgess lectured in phonetics, and translated Cyrano de Bergerac, Oedipus Rex, and the opera Carmen, among others. Burgess also composed over 250 musical works; he considered himself as much a composer as an author, although he enjoyed considerably more success in writing
Fully restored edition of Anthony Burgess' original text of A Clockwork Orange, with a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews Edited by Andrew Biswell With a Foreword by Martin Amis 'It is a horrorshow story ...' Fifteen-year-old Alex likes lashings of ultraviolence. He and his gang of friends rob, kill and rape their way through a nightmarish future, until the State puts a stop to his riotous excesses. But what will his re-education mean? A dystopian horror, a black comedy, an exploration of choice, A Clockwork Orange is also a work of exuberant invention which created a new language for its characters. This critical edition restores the text of the novel as Anthony Burgess originally wrote it, and includes a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews, shedding light on the enduring fascination of the novel's 'sweet and juicy criminality'. Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917 and educated at Xaverian College and Manchester University. He spent six years in the British Army before becoming a schoolmaster and colonial education officer in Malaya and Brunei. After the success of his Malayan Trilogy, he became a full-time writer in 1959. His books have been published all over the world, and they include The Complete Enderby, Nothing Like the Sun, Napoleon Symphony, Tremor of Intent, Earthly Powers and A Dead Man in Deptford.

摘自《南方网》 作者:阮一峰 和大多数人一样,我是先看电影,然后再去读小说的。记得看完电影的时候,有一种震撼的感觉,但是又说不清震撼我的到底是什么。现在想起来,好象库布里克(Stanley Kubrick,1928—1999)的电影都不是一眼能看穿的,似乎有一种伪装分散了人们...
评分反烏托邦、反英雄、個人與社會的對抗、善惡的對比、暴力的社會現象、個人選擇的存在與否、高雅藝術是否真有感化人的作用;作者基於俄文自造的方言俚語、文字遊戲,3×7的層疊結構設計——這本書的魅力,在我看來可以這麼分成主題/語言兩部分。 根據前言裡的介紹,讓這本書出...
评分如果说将人转为符号本身就是一种暴力,那么在暴力与野蛮统治下的所谓文明社会看起来自然是岌岌可危,缺失信任与安全让社会面貌更为凌乱、破碎与无序。 1971年,美国电影导演库布里克用时一年半,出人意表地拍摄出一部备受争议充满暴力血腥的残酷影片。该片上映之后引起一片...
好多俄语词 看到第三章才大概知道这些词的意思 然后读起来就比较轻松啦 蛮带感的 感觉比电影还带感!
评分this book is fucking brilliant/被诟病的最后一章我倒觉得衔接得蛮自然的 不过burgess自己也说这本too didactic to be artistic了(。/语言棒到我读的瞠目结舌 麻麻我以后说话只用nadsat哼
评分Alex was 15
评分电影的结局如何已经记不得了。a clockwork orange 算不上是epicness,但足以render me a gloomy saturday. Alex充其量是政治博弈的牺牲品, a skorry skorry horrorshow puppet.
评分柏金斯写了四页纸,告诉人们第21章是多么重要,因为它彰显了人性之美。呵呵呵。人性的美丑不会因为你封建卫道士的几张纸就定论。
