Über diesen Titel

In this 1962 classic, a novelistic exploration of modern crime and punishment, Alex is the 15-year-old leader of his gang of "droogs" thriving in the ultraviolent future, as prophetically imagined by Burgess. Speaking a bizarre Russian-derived slang, Alex and his friends freely pillage and slash their way across a nightmarish urban landscape until Alex is captured by the judicial arm of the state. He then becomes their prized guinea pig in a scientific program to completely "redeem" him for society.

If we had the power of absolute criminal reform, what, the novel asks, would this mean for our ideals of freedom and society? This edition reinstates the final chapter missing from Kubrick's film, in which Alex is on the verge of starting a family as he reflects on - and completely rejects - his adolescent nastiness. It also includes Burgess's introduction "A Clockwork Orange Resucked".

What an amazing piece of literature read absolutely superbly. "Gentle" violence and a terrible vision. Now kids are playing superviolent ego-shooters and getting used to violence in superrealistic fashion, this vision just might come true. Ranks among the very best books I've heard (even though it was not really fun).

This book bends your mind

..wow....what a story ! I knew the film and wanted to read the book....Superbly narrated, absolutely unforgettable....one of those books you can read - or hear - again and again....

One of the best narrators I have ever heard!

There are very nice scenes and ideas, but after a point the characters seem to be only mechanical plot devices without much depth. The final hour of the audiobook is just some chapters reread by the author, very nice as such, but rather pointless (his Russian accent in Russian words is much better :) Tom Hollander reads it too serenely for my taste, a more "boisterous" interpretation seems to be more appropriate. Recommended speed: 1,15

The title is the program after some point

Needed to get used to the language at first but couldn’t stop listening because it was so fascinating.
Great storytelling and an even greater reader! Really enjoyed his voice, pace and pronunciation, will definitely look into other audiobooks read by him!
The book is a clever critique of society and nevertheless very entertaining and has many plot twists, can only recommend.

Great book!
