Sinossi
L'audace satira distopica che ha ispirato uno dei film più famigerati mai realizzati, splendidamente rivisitata come parte della serie Penguin Essentials 'Ogni generazione dovrebbe scoprire questo libro' Time Out ________________ In questa visione da incubo di una gioventù in rivolta, il quindicenne Alex e i suoi amici si lanciano in un'orgia diabolica di rapine, stupri, torture e omicidi. Alex viene incarcerato per la sua delinquenza adolescenziale e lo Stato cerca di riformarlo, ma a quale costo? Esperimento di linguaggio? Profezia sociale? Commedia nera? Arancia meccanica è tutto questo. Abbagliante e trasgressiva, questa spaventosa favola sul bene e sul male chiede il significato della libertà umana. ________________ 'Un racconto ammonitore raccapricciantemente spiritoso' Time 'Non solo sulla natura violenta dell'uomo e sulla sua capacità di scegliere tra il bene e il male. Riguarda le eccitazioni e gli effetti inebrianti del linguaggio' Daily Telegraph 'Non conosco nessun altro scrittore che abbia fatto così tanto con il linguaggio. Un libro molto divertente' William S. Burroughs 'Uno degli scrittori più intelligenti e originali della sua generazione' The Times.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno
In this nightmare vision of youth in revolt, fifteen-year-old Alex and his friends set out on a diabolical orgy of robbery, rape, torture and murder. Alex is jailed for his teenage delinquency and the State tries to reform him - but at what cost?
Social prophecy? Black comedy? Study of freewill? A Clockwork Orange is all of these. It is also a dazzling experiment in language, as Burgess creates a new language - 'nadsat', the teenage slang of a not-too-distant future.
