This classic of post-industrial alienation shocks us into a thoughtful exploration of the meaning of free will and the conflict between good and evil.
Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917. He served in the army from 1940 to 1954 before becoming a colonial education officer. It was while he held this post that doctors told him he would die, and he decided to try to live by writing. He achieved a worldwide reputation as one of the leading novelists of his day, and one of the most versitile. His writings include criticism, scripts and translations, and a Broadway musical, and he composed three symphonies which have been publicly performed in the USA. His books have been published all over the world and include A Clockwork Orange, The Clockwork Testament, Inside Mr Enderby, Enderby's Dark Lady, Earthly Powers, Abba Abba and The End of the World News. Anthony Burgess died in 1993.
"With a smooth, almost lyrical, crisp voice, Hollander delivers
Burgess's nadsat dialect to readers with such rhythmic cadence that
listeners will easily understand the extensive slang used
throughout the book"
*Publishers Weekly*
"Great performance, Mr Hollander"
*The Guardian*
