A Clockwork Orange is a literary paradox of the twentieth century. Continuing futuristic traditions in literature, experimenting with the language spoken by the next generation of malltshipalltshikov and kisok Anthony Burgess creates a novel that is recognized as a classic of modern literature. 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 by depriving a person of the will to do stupid things and turning him into a clockwork orange? This question is as relevant today as it was yesterday, and the author asks the reader this question.
