Also by Anthony Burgess

DEVIL OF A STATE

A Book Society Choice

'a delicious come-back to the zany world of his Malayan trilogy, though this novel is set in an imaginary East African state newly emerging into independence...Mr. Burgess is brilliantly contemporary in a field he has made triumphantly his own.'
Bernard Share, Irish Times

'Mr. Burgess is idiosyncratic, brilliant, and possessed of a wit all his own. Read this novel and I'll guarantee you'll want to go through the entire canon.'
Peter Green, Bookman

'a Waugh without the underlying wounds, a Greene without the guilt.'
Christine Brooke-Rose, Observer

'vastly entertaining...superb craftsmanship...a joyful, poignant book which the Book Society has done well to make its choice.'
Maurice Edelman, Sunday Times

'first rate - the best Burgess yet.'
Kenneth Young, Yorkshire Post

'he knows the colonial civil servant and his world better than Maugham.'
Julian Jebb, Time & Tide

HEINEMANN

Text from back inside flap - first through fourth editions

Anthony Burgess's Malayan trilogy

TIME FOR A TIGER

'His characters are splendidly mad...to describe such scenes of steamy lethargy a with a precision that never becomes metallic or mechanical implies literary gifts of a very high order. Like all good comic writers, Mr. Burgess lives his creations as much as he mocks them. First class. More please.'
JOHN DAVENPORT, Observer

THE ENEMY IN THE BLANKET

'Mr. Burgess 's second novel amply confirms the lively promise of Time for Tiger...There's more meat here than in half a dozen average novels. The affectionate bitterness with which Mr. Burgess surveys his crumpled, unsatisfactory, altogether human cast degenerates neither into sentimentality nor bitchiness. This is a fascinating chronicle of the end of a fascinating era.'
JOHN METCALF, Sunday Times

BEDS IN THE EAST

'Beds in the East is a beautifully interlocked novel. It is really written, not just set down. Look, for instance, at the passage where Loo makes love to the sound of trumpets and the bellowing of a toad from the waste-pipe.'
KENNETH YOUNG, Daily Telegraph

'A really funny novel about Englishmen, Tamils, Chinese, and others in Malaya. Intriguingly well written.'
GEORGE MILLAR, Daily Express

Text from the dustjacket inside flap - first edition. Second printings on drop the 1st and 3rd paragraph.

A Clockwork Orange is one of the most unusual and enjoyable novels we have ever published. But it is only fair to warn unadventurous readers that to reap their enjoyment they will have to make a small effort: we guarantee, however, that the effort itself will also prove enjoyable.

A Clockwork Orange is the scarifying autobiographical confession of Alex, a juvenile delinquent of the unspecified but not very distant future, who tells the tale of his own criminal excesses and his 're-education' in the peculiar slang of his generation. It will take the reader no more than fifteen pages to master and revel in the expressive language of 'nadsat'; after that he has before him an easily digestible feast of picaresque villainy and social satire. The book can be read as a straight horror comedy or, on a deeper level, as a fable of good and evil and the importance of human choice. As the genial Alex himself might put it: 'It is a horrorshow story, which will either make you smeck like bezoomy or bring the old tears to your glazzies.'

Anthony Burgess's last novel, Devil of a State, was a Book Society Choice. He is now incontrovertibly established as a novelist of prime stature.

Text from the dustjacket back - Second printing on

A Clockwork Orange
'Mr. Burgess has written a fine farrago of outrageousness.'
KINGSLEY AMIS, Observer

'It is too sharp, too horrific, too spikily uncompromising for comfort. But it manages to say more in a shorter compass about the roots of delinquency and the teenage malaise in general than any other book I've come across.'
PETER GREEN, Daily Telegraph

'No one can match his skill at anguished farce about the end of empire...Mr. Burgess...has an originality of manner and subject that place him to my mind among the best writers in England...Mr. Burgess develops his theme brilliantly...the language is an extraordinary technical feat, and the whole conception vigorously exhibits Mr. Burgess's great imaginative gifts.'
JULIAN MITCHELL, Spectator

'What is remarkable about the book, however, is the incredible teenage argot that Mr. Burgess invents to tell the story in. All Mr. Burgess's powers as a comic writer, which are considerable, have gone into the rich language of his inverted Utopia.'
MALCOLM BRADBURY, Punch

'It is always a pleasure to pick up a novel in which some attempt has been made to break away from the smooth flat competence of most contemporary fiction and to express the story in language freshly conceived yet apt to the treatment.'
GEOFFREY BULLACH, Birmingham Post

'Mr. Burgess has written a gleeful celebration-denunciation of violence.'
ANNE DUCHENE, Guardian

'Entertaining but even profound, Alex is a real person with inconsistencies of a real person (he can't bear others who eat untidily) and the nadsat slang that Anthony Burgess has invented for him, with its subliminal penetration of Soviet propaganda, is amusing.'
SUSAN CHITTY, Sunday Telegraph

'Mr. Burgess is a formidably talented writer.'
Queen Magazine

Translator's note: "Anthony Burgess used Russian as the basis of the (Nadsat) language. Regarding linguistic and historic reasons I do not consider this way the best for the Czech translation. The final result (of the Czech translation) is a mixture of English, Russian and German, terms rising from the language of Romanies and newly made up words (used by the author himself also)."

The Cramps artist sees his work.

On 10/2/03 I went to the Chiller Theater film expo in Secaucus NJ to show artist Stephen Blickenstaff the above book in hopes that he had never seen it. He had not. He was completely blown away by the fact his artwork was stolen for a Russian printing of Clockwork. He took pictures for his collection and was very happy I brought it and showed it to him. He admitted this art was bootlegged many times, but never in such a big way as this. Of course he doesn't get any money for use of it and in fact never has since he gave it away originally. He wished he could show it to his friends because it was so cool. He was very, very nice and gladly posed for the above picture. He wants his own copy, but I am unable to find another.

History of the artwork

On Halloween night 1983, a group took a short road trip to see the punk band The Cramps in concert. While in route, artist Stephen Blickenstaff was applying cross-hatching to an original illustration which he planned to barter for backstage meet-and-greet privilege. The drawing was a impressionistic version of Lux in a style inspired by artist Basil Wolverton. Stephen's ploy worked and the band loved the artwork. The Cramps needed to pump out an album to fulfill a contract so they contacted Steve and inquired about using his art on the cover. Steve told them that it was a gift and they could use it as they wished.
