Über den Autor
Anthony Burgess was born in 1917 in Manchester, England. He studied language at Xaverian College and Manchester University. He had originally applied for a degree in music, but was unable to pass the entrance exams. Burgess considered himself a composer first, one who later turned to literature. mehr anzeigen Burgess' first novel, A Vision of Battlements (1964), was based on his experiences serving in the British Army. He is perhaps best known for his novel A Clockwork Orange, which was later made into a movie by Stanley Kubrick. In addition to publishing several works of fiction, Burgess also published literary criticism and a linguistics primer. Some of his other titles include The Pianoplayers, This Man and Music, Enderby, The Kingdom of the Wicked, and Little Wilson and Big God. Burgess was living in Monaco when he died in 1993.

Nadsat, die dem Russischen angelehnte Jugendsprache, die Burgess dem Erzähler in den Mund legt, macht das Buch zu einem ganz speziellen Erlebnis. Leider habe ich nur eine Übersetzung gelesen, nicht das Original, allerdings Blumenbachs Neuübersetzung, bei der offenbar einiges richtig gemacht wurde.
Sie enthielt auch diverses Zusatzmaterial und den Epilog, den ich bisher nicht kannte, in dem Alex am Ende erwachsen wird.
Definitiv ein geniales Buch, das in die Riege der ganz besonderen Werke gehört, die man wirklich gelesen haben sollte. Nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil man sich als Leser unerwartet in der Position findet, einen brutalen Schläger irgendwie sympathisch zu finden. Eine sehr seltsame Erfahrung. Unbedingt empfehlenswert.… (mehr)
