I found this book that is very hard to fine. I just wanted the cover so that I could frame it and make an interesting picture. The book came in German , but I I was fine with that.

BUYER BEWARE

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

Please note before you buy....this book is in German. It is not stated in any type of written description. Technically, It is buried in the product details, along with the ISBN number, etc. But if you are like me, you wouldn't even think about checking to make sure it is in English since it is being shipped from the UK. I think it should have been clearly stated in the description. I contacted the company and they said they could not cover return costs. It's not worth sending it back to the UK. I'll count this as learning experience. I just didn't want someone else to make the same mistake I did.

A Clockwork Orange is an outstanding book. However, this is the German version. I cannot read German. Beware of buying German books without looking. Unless you can read German. In which case, this is the book for you, you Dystopian German.

An excellent book

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2004

I am a senior at Mercy High School in Middletown, CT and I must say that I was incredibly skeptical about reading this book. I picked it randomly from a list of books to do a project on, and was warned after about its intense violence, and difficult language. After reading it, though, I would rate it was one of the most worthwhile books I've read in my high school career. I found Burgess's invented slang intriguing (although difficult to comprehend at first) and I felt that it added to Alex's character. Burgess did an excellent job of developing each of the characters, and even though he was a cruel delinquent I often found myself feeling badly for Alex. The last chapeter was the one that enjoyed the most (apparently it wasn't included in the original American versions) because it displayed so much hope for this troubled young man. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, but would strongly warn the reader about its violence. The book should not be read by those with a weak stomach!

It's in German? I accept the challenge!

Reviewed in Canada on May 30, 2017

While I didn't realize it was in German, I am intrigued by the challenge of learning the language to re-read it. A classic by every meaning of the word, Anthony Burgess does a marvellous job. Also it arrived 4 days early so I am thrilled!

What makes this book so morally problematic.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 23, 2012

Verified Purchase

The random nature of ultraviolence is both its most frightening aspect and a clear indication of its evil. It leaves everyone feeling vulnerable because anyone could be a victim of an attack. And this is what makes this book so morally problematic. . In ordinary attempts to justify violence, some claim is made that gives a reason why the victim should be harmed. Such attempts focus on the identity of the recipient of justi'ed violence. In self-defense, one may harm one's assailant because the assailant poses a threat to one ís own well-being. In just war thinking there must be a just cause (usually aggression) and violence has to be focused exclusively against the aggressor. But ultraviolence spreads violence in a way that simply ignores the identities of its victims. It is random and unpredictable violence. In Michael Baur's words, it is "systematically unsystematic." The result of ultraviolence is to create panic and chaos, sometimes in order to advance a political agenda, although in the case of Alex and his droogs violence has to be divorced from a political agenda as a sort of nihilistic glee in causing disorder.

[...] In einer Welt, in der man nur noch lebt
Damit man täglich roboten geht
Ist die größte Aufregung,[...] Hier kommt Alex.
Das Buch ist die Vorlage zu der Platte "Ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau" der Toten Hosen und des gleichnamigen Films von Stanley Kubricks. Ich habe diese Buch jetzt 5x gelesen. Brauchte fürs 6.Mal nun ein neues Buch
