'It is a horror show story ...'

Fifteen-year-old Alex enjoys lashings of ultraviolence. Alongside his gang of friends, he robs, kills, and rapes his way through a nightmarish future—until the State intervenes to put an end to his riotous excesses. But what will his re-education entail?

A dystopian horror, a black comedy, and an exploration of choice, A Clockwork Orange is also a work of exuberant invention that introduced 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

These additions provide insight into the enduring fascination with the novel's 'sweet and juicy criminality.'
