Book Description

"Anthony Burgess reads chapters of his novel A Clockwork Orange with hair-raising drive and energy. Although it is a fantasy set in an Orwellian future, this is anything but a bedtime story." -The New York Times

Told by the central character, Alex, this brilliant, hilarious, and disturbing novel creates an alarming futuristic vision of violence, high technology, and authoritarianism.Anthony Burgess' 1963 classic stands alongside Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World as a classic of twentieth century post-industrial alienation, often shocking us into a thoughtful exploration of the meaning of free will and the conflict between good and evil. In this recording, the author's voice lends an intoxicating lyrical dimension to the language he has so masterfully crafted.

"I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language as Mr. Burgess has done [in A Clockwork Orange]." -William S. Burroughs

Recognized as one of the literary geniuses of our time, Anthony Burgess produced thirty-two novels, a volume of verse, sixteen works of nonfiction, and two plays. Originally a composer, his creative output also included countless musical compositions, including symphonies, operas, and jazz. The author's musicality is evident in the lyrical and dramatic reading he gives in this recording. Anthony Burgess died in 1993.

5 out of 5 stars Skorry and Bezoomy!.......2007-09-12

Even though I knew this was supposed to be one of those "must be read in your lifetime" kind of books, I was always hesitant to pick it up due to the violence I knew lurked between the covers. Not because I feared it, but because I could never quite find the right "mood" to tolerate it (especially with the newspaper, Kiterunner and such one picks up these days!) However, the book came highly recommended (mostly by men, including the 30-something librarian who I checked it out from: "oh, you're going to love it!" I don't know how he knew, but he was right). I finally cracked the cover.

Lo and behold, what indiscernible argo did I discover on the first page! For such a short book, I told myself, this would be a long read. After two or three pages of the futuristic, Russian-based slang I found that, like reading Shakespeare, the reader adjusts to the rhythm of the language. It did not prevent the story from absorbing me, and I didn't need to know the definition of every word to grasp the meaning.

Alex, the charming teenage sociopath narrator, spends the first third of the book inciting nightly acts of "ultraviolence" with his hooligan friends. In the second part, he is caught, punished, and rehabilitated. In the third, he must deal with the consequences of his violent past, and his present as a man who can no longer defend himself from them. Although written in the 60's, it's hard not picture a 1980's London backdrop complete with the punks and hooligans bringing anarchy in an alternate socialist dystopia.

A quick word on the violence. Although the narrator gleefully partakes in some terrible actions, his use of slang to describe it actually keeps it rather slapstick and prevents it from becoming overly graphic (like Fightclub, for instance). What I didn't expect at all was the humor. Some of Alex's observations are riotously funny. I even got a few strange looks while reading in public, either because I laughed too loudly, or reacted to Alex's deepening predicament with an "aah!"--a pretty good sign that I'm captivated. This says something about the skill of the writer, that he had me empathizing with (if not exactly rooting for) a depraved character who I had no business liking under normal circumstances.

The only thing that didn't quite sit with me was the inconsistent (yet original) 21st chapter. Some say this ends the novel on a lighter, more hopeful note. I don't think it needed to. Without giving too much away, what Alex hints at maturing into was, to me, far more terrifying than his old hooligan self. Especially seeing how the other adults in this book, including his parents, have turned out in this fictional future. Give me the other, albeit more sinister, end.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2007-09-08

I've been on a little reading binge lately, and I found this book to be quite exilerating. I have never read anything like it! I would have to say that this is one of my absolute favorite books. I am so happy that they decided to publish the last chapter of this book in the States. It would be completely different without it!!

I would recommend this book to anyone, I checked it out from the library for the first reading. I am going to have to add it to my collection, that's how good it is!

5 out of 5 stars great.......2007-09-06

fantastic once you get the hang of the language and slang. Suggestion--watch the movie first to put a face with the characters. The movie is but a fraction of the book, so it won't spoil anything. LOVE IT!!!

5 out of 5 stars Literature as Art and Social Conscience.......2007-09-06


If you are looking for a simple and straightforward novel, then this is not it.

This is a piece of literature as art by the talented British writer Anthony Burgess (1917 to 1993). I got interested in Burgess from his non-fiction works on Shakespeare and Joyce.

Even the title here is complex, and According to Burgess himself, the title is from an old Cockney expression "as queer as a clockwork orange. Burgess wrote in his later that a creature who can only perform good or evil is "a clockwork orange -- meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with color and juice, but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil; or the almighty state."

So, the novel is about good and evil and as a vehicle he uses a young man Alex, who leads a life of crime and random violence including rape. He sets the story in the future but using realism. Alex narrates the tale and does so in a language called "Nadstat" which is not English but a sort of street slang. That adds to the ambiance or flavour or setting of the story.

The novel contains three parts: the narrative on Alex and his illegal activity or street crimes, the imprisonment and attempted rehabilitaion of Alex, and finally the retribution of his victims.

What does it all mean? First and foremost it is a work of art so keep that in mind. It includes various themes such as the power struggles between old and young generations, the corruption of social institutions, and politics. It is supposed to make us think about the direction of society as a whole.

3 out of 5 stars Mostly Good Book........2007-08-23

If you are a fan of the dystopian drama then look no further. This book has a wonderful and imaginitive plot with a good moral to follow. Burgess's unique storytelling abilities, combined with the "Nadsat" dialect which he himself adapted for this novella, makes it a great read for any type of reader!

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic book.......2007-09-14

Great book written all in the gang-slang of the futuristic day. This book is a classic and a must-read for those who liked the (also excellent) movie. But the book has a lot of neat things missing from the movie and one is able to enjoy more detail of the language Burgess created out of a hodge-podge of disjointed Russian (for the most part.) Like in the movie, you will soon be rooting for young Alex no matter that he is a rapist and murderer. This is part of the genius of the work.

5 out of 5 stars MAKE SURE YOU GET THE 21st CHAPTER VERSION.......2007-08-04

This book Is amazing!!! The way Burgess creates his own slang and original character personas is only a few aspects of his writing. I recomend it to everyone. But to the point of this review, the book is essential with the 21st Chapter, its shows the coming of age in Alex's personality, and it definately humanizes him, makes him very relatable. And that is how Burgess wanted the book to be read.

4 out of 5 stars A thoughtful exploration of human nature and freedom of choice........2007-04-16

Unlike most dystopian novels, which tend to focus on what may happen to government in the future, "A Clockwork Orange" focuses on the nature of the individual in the future. Our protagonist is Alex, only 15 years old but already a habitual criminal, roving the streets with his band of friends, taking advantage of every opportunity to wreak havoc on the world around him. The boys have no qualms about attacking the helpless. In fact, the more helpless the victim, it seems, the more pleasure the boys take in the act. The most interesting and disturbing aspect is that the boys manage to maintain a strange sort of innocence even as they commit the most heinous and violent crimes. They aren't doing any of this out of malice toward their targets; in fact, it seems to matter very little who they pick as a victim. They are creating mayhem just because it's fun for them.

Everything changes, however, when one particular break-in goes horribly awry and Alex finds himself sentenced to 14 years in prison for murder. There, though he manages to create an illusion of good behavior, we see that the experience has no real impression on his sense of morality. Then, after two years, he is chosen for a new, experimental rehabilitation program, designed to rid him of any desire to indulge in, or even contemplate, any acts of violence. As we see, however, this "treatment" also leaves him without any choice in the matter of being good or not. He HAS to be good because he is programmed to be. This, of course, raises the question central to the book: Does good behavior actually mean you are a good person if you have no freedom of choice?

The book can be a little difficult to get in to at first, predominantly because of Burgess's unique style. The story is narrated by Alex and thus, is written in the complex slang language, invented by Burgess for this book, that the youth of this society engage in. For example, a sentence taken from the opening chapter: "He looked a malenky bit poogly when he viddied the four of us like that" (pg. 5). There is no glossary, but if you stick with it, you will start to develop a feel for what most of the words mean after a couple chapters. However, if you find yourself having difficulty, a nice, comprehensive lexicon can be found on Wikipedia if you search for "English to Nadsat" (due to review guidelines I am not allowed to include a direct link). Unfortunately, it is alphabetized by the English equivalents, not by the slang terms, so looking up a word can be a little difficult.

One final note of interest: The original British publication of "A Clockwork Orange" had 21 chapters, as does the current American edition. However, when the book was first published in the United States, the last chapter was dropped. As Burgess explains in his introduction to the restored version, publishers considered this 21st chapter a sellout. Whether it is or isn't is up to you to decide, but I can tell you that the presence or absence of the last chapter makes a huge difference in the overall feel and message of the book. Without the final part of the story in place, the book offers a bleak message, implying that human nature cannot really change. On the other hand, reading the book with the final chapter in place gives us a little more hope. Beyond that, Burgess tells us in his introduction, interpretation is up to you.

This review refers to the restored, 1986 Norton & Company edition.

5 out of 5 stars Burgess makes it across the tightrope..........2007-04-10

(This review covers the 21-chapter version.)

A Clockwork Orange could so easily have been atrocious. Instead, it is a classic, and deservedly so. Burgess has crafted a brilliantly original novel, with a distinctive and unique cockney-Slavic idiom. Aside from the novelty, and the aesthetic innovations, A Clockwork Orange is also an enjoyable book to read. I got the sense whilst reading, however, that, in lesser hands, a novel with similar aspirations would most likely have fizzled into overly-self-aware pretension and gratuitousness. That Burgess pulled it off is testament to his talent.

I do think that the 21st chapter seems a bit tacked-on, and the coda of the 20th, to me at least, is a better, more apposite ending. But this is a minor quibble, and most people like to end a book with optimism anyway.

Book Description

A vicious fifteen-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic. In Anthony Burgess's nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology. A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. And when the state undertakes to reform Alex to "redeem" him, the novel asks, "At what cost?"

This edition includes the controversial last chapter not published in the first edition and Burgess's introduction "A Clockwork Orange Resucked."

5 out of 5 stars Better than reading the book!.......2007-09-03

Tom Hollander who reads this book does a wonderful job. The slang that is used non-stop in this book can sometimes be hard to follow, but to have Tom, with an English accent read through these funny descriptive terms just makes the book. His voice acting just adds an extra dimension to the text that is enjoyable. I really can't say enough about the voice acting, it is top notch!

Now the book itself is top notch, too. It starts with the ultra violence of Alex and his droogs, and then veers into the brainwashing of Alex to try and get him back into society but without his violent urges. Well this causes problems with the religious types and some intellectuals who believe freedom of choice is more important than curing a person of his ill ways. And then it ends with such a simple statement of life, which I won't give away. It's an intellectual book which addresses moral and social problems in our society, and causes the listener to judge these actions that occur in the book.

The best thing about this book is, even though it was written in 1962, it does not feel dated in the least bit.

        This unique illustrated screenplay features 800 still images from “A Clockwork Orange,” selected by Stanley Kubrick when the film was first released in 1971. As Kubrick comments in his introduction: “I have always wondered if there might be a more meaningful way to present a book about a film. To make, as it were, a complete graphic representation of the film, cut by cut, with the dialogue printed in the proper place in relation to the cuts, so that within the limits of still photos and words, an accurate (and I hope interesting) record of a film might be available… This book represents that attempt.”

            It would be an international crime to reveal too much of the jeweled clockwork plot of Le Carré's first masterpiece, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. But we are at liberty to disclose that Graham Greene called it the "finest spy story ever written," and that the taut tale concerns Alec Leamas, a British agent in early Cold War Berlin. Leamas is responsible for keeping the double agents under his care undercover and alive, but East Germans start killing them, so he gets called back to London by Control, his spy master. Yet instead of giving Leamas the boot, Control gives him a scary assignment: play the part of a disgraced agent, a sodden failure everybody whispers about. Control sends him back out into the cold--deep into Communist territory to checkmate the bad-guy spies on the other side. The political chessboard is black and white, but in human terms the vicinity of the Berlin Wall is a moral no-man's land, a gray abyss patrolled by pawns.

            Le Carré beats most spy writers for two reasons. First, he knows what he's talking about, since he raced around working for British Intelligence while the Wall went up. He's familiar with spycraft's fascinations, but also with the fact that it leaves ideals shaken and emotions stirred. Second, his literary tone has deep autobiographical roots. Spying is about betrayal, and Le Carré was abandoned by his mother and betrayed by his father, a notorious con man. (They figure heavily in his novels Single & Single and A Perfect Spy.) In a world of lies, Le Carré writes the bitter truth: it's every man for himself. And may the best mask win. --Tim Appelo

            Book Description

            In this classic, John le Carré's third novel and the first to earn him international acclaim, he created a world unlike any previously experienced in suspense fiction. With unsurpassed knowledge culled from his years in British Intelligence, le Carré brings to light the shadowy dealings of international espionage in the tale of a British agent who longs to end his career but undertakes one final, bone-chilling assignment.

            When the last agent under his command is killed and Alec Leamas is called back to London, he hopes to come in from the cold for good. His spymaster, Control, however, has other plans.

            4 out of 5 stars Doubt There Are Many Better Spy Novels.......2007-09-24

            I'm not a seasoned connoisseur of spy fiction, but had the feeling nonetheless upon finishing this book that I was not likely to find many (if any) of its type that I liked as well. The suspense was there, the 'never-certain-what's-what' quality was there, the serpentine plot, etc. But for me perhaps most impressive was the overall atmosphere that permeated the story. I would say a 'dreary realism' -- but in a good sense! The reader is authentically submerged in the gray, secret world of espionage. Nothing glamorized or oversimplified. If anything, it is a tad too morally ambiguous to my mind. Others would disagree. The title of the book fits the contents to perfection.

            The story builds effectively, and its climax-conclusion comes off as fitting. I enjoyed it, and found it seamlessly written, reflecting considerable knowledge on the part of the author of the shadowy existence about which he writes.

            For me (I'm a hard grader) it didn't rise quite high enough to attain a 5 star rating, but it's a near-miss. TSWCIFTC is a slick and skillful novel that readers who like this sort of thing are apt to enjoy very much.

            4 out of 5 stars Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-04

            The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is the story of a British Secret Service agent who leaves that organisation and basically defects to East Germany.

            What he does not realise for a while is that he is actually being manipulated by his former masters as they play a complicated game of espionage with other assets in place in his new home.


            2 out of 5 stars I feel cold.......2007-08-15

            The cold in the title is spot on, this story left my cold (purposefully, I'm sure). The characters were either too cynical or had motivations I was unable to sympathize with, like the girl, who was a member of the communist party but in truth just wanted to get a husband. The book was very clear on that, she was as ordinary as it gets. Communists just recited typical communist propaganda, with a touch of nazism once in a while, and were hardly fascinating as the opponents. The ending was unsurprising, because it was obvious that one of two alternatives was true, and it wasn't even possible to admire the cold cleverness of the story. I don't know how it would puzzle anyone, even though the reviews say otherwise. If it had been a true story, at least I would know how espionage was really like. As a work of fiction I couldn't find anything in it to love, the characters or the plot.

            5 out of 5 stars cross the line->fade to gray.......2007-08-02

            The point is about who is the good guy and who is the bad? The Soviet success with atomic secrets started the cold war spy wars.
            In Mad Magazine there is spy versus spy; one wearing white and the other wearing black: in this case
            it appears both are wearing gray.
            This plot is much better than the other novels I've read by this author ( and they were very good).
            Twist within turn within twist and the ultimate victim is an innocent!
            We are given a graphic picture of the cold war as an acultural waste land without conscience or ethics.

            5 out of 5 stars Stigma of treachery.......2007-06-29

            Leamas is waiting for an agent. His cover has been blown. Alec Leamas and the agent, Karl, have already had a row over a woman. The white searchlight goes on as Karl is crossing on his bike. Leamas wants operational assignments. He knows now he has been written off. Leamas's counterpart is Mundt. Leamas has been losing agents, Control reminds him. Under him there has been a heavy rate of expenditure, a lot of dead agents. Control believes the Circus should try to get rid of Mundt. Leamas is to ferret out George Smiley. He knows the case well. Within a few months Leamas becomes a resentful drunken wreck. Killing Mundt is to be Leamas's last act; afterwards he can come in from the cold.

            In terms of quality this is not ordinary popular fiction, this is extraordinary. The author writes in a subdued and steely fashion, powerfully. Subsequently Leamas becomes a defector. Peters is to question him at a location in Holland. Leamas learns he is wanted in London for an offense under the Official Secrets Act. Liz Gold is a friend of Alec. She is visited by Special Branch. There is a connection between Alec Leamas and George Smiley, a card. Peters, a Russian, delivers Leamas to East Germany.

            Layers of deception, not surprisingly, constitute the story. Journalists and lawyers are inquisitive. Questions become ends in themselves. Leamas is asked about his philosophy. Having completed his first stage as a defector he is to be put on ice.
            Much of the appeal of mystery stories is psychological description. LeCarre, former member of the secret service and son of a confidence man, is in a premier position to create a full range of psychological types and permutations generated by acts.

                    This brilliant novel adds John le Carre's name to the microscopically small list of really great writers of espionage fiction. In truth, it does a great deal more. It is a spy novel to end all spy novels. It dispatches the spun-sugar secret agents of recent fame back to their comic-opera Graustarks forever.
