A Clockwork Orange

"A Clockwork Orange" is a literary paradox of the 20th century. Continuing the futuristic traditions in literature, experimenting with the language spoken by the emerging generation of malltshipalltshikov and kisok "nadsatykh", Anthony Burgess creates a novel recognized as a classic of modern literature. The smart, cruel, charismatic antihero Alex, the leader of a street gang, preaching violence as a high art of life, as a kind of pleasure, falls into the iron grip of the latest state program for the re-education of criminals and himself becomes a victim of violence. Is it possible to save the world from evil, depriving a person of the will to commit acts and turning him into a "clockwork orange"? This question is as relevant today as it was yesterday, and the author asks this question to the reader.
