Overview
«Cada generación debería descubrir este libro». Time Out
Un clásico de la ciencia ficción
En esta mirada satírica y perturbadora sobre los jóvenes en plena rebelión, Alex y sus amigos de quince años emprenden una orgía diabólica de robos, violaciones, torturas y asesinatos. Hasta que Alex es apresado por sus actos delictivos y el Estado intenta reformarlo. Pero ¿a qué precio?
¿Se trata de una profecía social? ¿De humor negro? ¿De un estudio sobre los espíritus libres? La naranja mecánica es una suma de todo ello, y también incluye un brillante experimento con el lenguaje, por el que Burgess crea una jerga adolescente, el «nadsat».
«Un libro terrible y maravilloso.» Roald Dahl
«Una de las novelas más rompedoras e influyentes de todos los tiempos, y una de las mejores.» Irvine Welsh
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
«Every generation should discover this book.» Time Out
A classic of science fiction
In this satirical and disturbing look at young people in full rebellion, fifteen-year-old Alex and his friends embark on a diabolical spree of robbery, rape, torture, and murder. Until Alex is arrested for his crimes and the State attempts to reform him. But at what cost?
Is it a social prophecy? Dark humour? A study of free spirits? A Clockwork Orange is all of these at once, and it also includes a brilliant linguistic experiment in which Burgess creates a teenage slang known as «nadsat».
«A terrible and wonderful book.» Roald Dahl
«One of the most groundbreaking and influential novels of all time, and one of the very best.» Irvine Welsh
