Classic & Older Gothic

A Clockwork Orange

by Anthony Burgess

In a nightmarish future England, teenaged Alex leads his droogs through ultra-violent nights of mayhem, narrated in hypnotic invented slang. When the state experiments with conditioning him into compliance, Burgess raises disturbing questions about free will, morality, and whether forced goodness is goodness at all.
