Author: Burgess, Anthony Brand: W. W. Norton & Company Edition: Restored Text Binding: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 272 Release Date: 22-10-2012 Part Number: 9780393089134 Details: A newly revised text for A Clockwork Orange’s 50th anniversary brings the work closest to its author’s intentions. A Clockwork Orange is as brilliant, transgressive, and influential as when it was published fifty years ago. A nightmare vision of the future told in its own fantastically inventive lexicon, it has since become a classic of modern literature and the basis for Stanley Kubrick’s once-banned film, whose recent reissue has brought this revolutionary tale on modern civilization to an even wider audience. Andrew Biswell, PhD, director of the International Burgess Foundation, has taken a close look at the three varying published editions alongside the original typescript to recreate the novel as Anthony Burgess envisioned it. We publish this landmark edition with its original British cover and six of Burgess’s own illustrations. 6 illustrations EAN: 9780393089134 Package Dimensions: 8.0 x 5.5 x 1.1 inches Languages: EnglishNew York Times No.1 Best Seller in 1934New York Times No.1 Best Seller in 1939 Show more
