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'.

发条橙堪称英国版麦田守望者,看我看下来,整个故事真的和麦田守望者差好远,后者明显有趣很多。发条橙,或许是因为各个版本不一样,我看的这个版本真的是没觉得痛快,像是一场没有高潮的性爱,几度即将达到高潮但最终还是没有达到高潮,除了凌乱的一些龌蹉的情节像孤星闪耀一...
評分我的中篇《发条橙》于一九六二年初版,现在时间已过去很久了,久得足以为世界文学界所忘却了。然而,它拒绝被忘却,这主要归功于斯但利·库勃里克的同名电影。 我自己非常乐意与它断绝关系,理由有许多,可惜做不到。我收到过学生的来信,说要写论文讨论它,日本的戏剧界也要...
評分《发条橙》是一部很有哲理意义的小说,在情节结构上,人为安排的因素较多,故事的对称性颇受东方固果报应思想的影响,这当然加强了这个中篇小说的戏剧色彩。不过,作者的意图是要说明,小流氓们的所作所为--恶,是不好,但也不一定是最糟的情况;其理由是"善"里面包含了...

Gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh oh-ho-ho!!! 大贊!!! 又一部徹底被電影誤導的書。
评分反正我接受不能。。
评分小小書
评分電影的結局如何已經記不得瞭。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犧牲品, a skorry skorry horrorshow puppet.
评分柏金斯寫瞭四頁紙,告訴人們第21章是多麼重要,因為它彰顯瞭人性之美。嗬嗬嗬。人性的美醜不會因為你封建衛道士的幾張紙就定論。
