A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

Download:


A Clockwork Orange is a 1962 dystopian novella by Anthony Burgess. The novel contains an experiment in language: Burgess creates teenage slang of the not-too-distant future.
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked A Clockwork Orange 65th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

A Clockwork Orange is written using a narrative first-person singular perspective of a seemingly biased and unreliable narrator. The protagonist, Alex, never justifies his actions in the narration, giving a sense that he is somewhat sincere; a narrator who, as unlikeable as he may attempt to seem, evokes pity from the reader by telling of his unending suffering, and later through his realisation that the cycle will never end. Alex's perspective is effective in that the way that he describes events is easy to relate to, even if the situations themselves are not.[wikipedia]
