A propos de l'auteur
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. afficher plus 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.

6 juin 2018 - Georges-Belmont-et-Hortense-Chabrier-Pavillons-Poche">« L'Orange mécanique » d'Anthony Burgess
Avant d’être un chef-d’oeuvre de Stanley Kubrick, « L’Orange mécanique » est un livre effrayant et prémonitoire d’Anthony Burgess. Dans une banlieue déshumanisée, Alex, un ado déjanté dingue de Beethoven, sème la terreur avant d’atterrir en prison pour y subir un traitement effrayant.
