A dystopian novella written by
Anthony Burgess back in 1962 that would become internationally known thanks to
the film by the same title directed by
Stanley Kubrick. Written in an invented language called
Nadsat (derived from Russian), a young fellow narrates his adventures in a dystopian near-future society where decent folks work exhausting monotonous jobs, live in large spiritless apartment complexes and watch TV all day while their kids join street gangs and terrorize their innocent victims for fun. Full of slang and violence (or, as the author calls it, "ultraviolence"), but certainly entertaining and even thought-provoking.
