Â«Cada generaciÃ³n deberÃa descubrir este libroÂ». Time Out Un clÃ¡sico de la ciencia ficciÃ³n En esta mirada satÃrica y perturbadora sobre los jÃ³venes en plena rebeliÃ³n, Alex y sus amigos de quince aÃ±os emprenden una orgÃa diabÃ³lica de robos, violaciones, torturas y asesinatos. Hasta que Alex es apresado por sus actos delictivos y el Estado intenta reformarlo. Pero Â¿a quÃ© precio? Â¿Se trata de una profecÃa social? Â¿De humor negro? Â¿De un estudio sobre los espÃritus libres? La naranja mecÃ¡nica es una suma de todo ello, y tambiÃ©n incluye un brillante experimento con el lenguaje, por el que Burgess crea una jerga adolescente, el Â«nadsatÂ». Â«Un libro terrible y maravilloso.Â» Roald Dahl Â«Una de las novelas mÃ¡s rompedoras e influyentes de todos los tiempos, y una de las mejores.Â» Irvine Welsh ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Â«Every generation should discover this book.Â» Time Out A classic of science fiction In this satirical and disturbing look at young people in full rebellion, fifteen-year-old Alex and his friends embark on a diabolical spree of robbery, rape, torture, and murder. Until Alex is arrested for his crimes and the State attempts to reform him. But at what cost? Is it a social prophecy? Dark humour? A study of free spirits? A Clockwork Orange is all of these at once, and it also includes a brilliant linguistic experiment in which Burgess creates a teenage slang known as Â«nadsatÂ». Â«A terrible and wonderful book.Â» Roald Dahl Â«One of the most groundbreaking and influential novels of all time, and one of the very best.Â» Irvine Welsh
