What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
A first edition, first issue of this canonical novel. A novel known for its use of 'Nadsat' slang, and many time a contentious read, having been censored in some schools and libraries in the United States.
Hailed as an dystopian, sci-fi, satirical, black comedy; this novel explores many genres. The teenage protagonist Alex narrates his violent exploits and experiences. Time Magazine regarded this work as on the list of 100 best English-language novels written since 1923.
Burgess' novel was later adapted into a dystopian crime film by Stanley Kubrick.
With the original first issue dustwrapper, with the extended flaps. This dustwrapper is neatly price-clipped and has been restored to the head and tail.
A lovely, very scarce example of this important literary novel.
