I am starting to make up for my somewhat dismal education in all things “Clockwork Orange”; this, from Britannia:
A Clockwork Orange,
novel by
Anthony Burgess, published in 1962. Set in a dismal dystopian
England, it is the first-person account of a
juvenile delinquent who undergoes state-sponsored psychological rehabilitation for his aberrant
behaviour. The novel satirizes extreme political systems that are based on opposing models of the perfectibility or incorrigibility of humanity. Written in a futuristic
slangvocabulary invented by Burgess, in part by
adaptation of
Russian words, it was his most original and best-known work.
