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'.

评分 评分原本有一大堆槽点要吐,但现在看完电影,又经过一天的自我情绪消化,又不愿多说什么了。 1、作者才华没撑起故事立意,细节处理跟不上,且还跑偏为自创的所谓黑话语言自鸣得意,完全是顾此失彼失了重点。 2、译者是真的很拖后腿了,文邹邹的文言文和当下网络流行用语的结合使用...
评分 评分《发条橙》或许不应该单独阅读,应该跟《麦田里的守望者》、《猜火车》、《在路上》放在一起来读,都是描述“垮掉的一代”的大作,孰优孰劣,各有定论。而结局几乎相似,无非是对背叛的背叛,对否定的否定,跨过对生活嘲讽和反抗的极端,又落回生活的五指山,就像夜间纵欲狂欢...
终于明白美版为什么去掉最后一章了,画风完全不一样啊!感觉最后一章有点离题的感觉…中间的讨论还是很有意思的,还有黑色幽默,还有政治阴谋…想看看库布里克是怎么拍的了
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。
评分小小书
评分反正我接受不能。。
