One of the most controversial and at the same time most important novels of the 20th century – a dystopian story of a young criminal Alex functioning in a brutal world of violence, anarchy and moral chaos. Narrated from the perspective of the protagonist, it allows the reader to enter the psyche of a man addicted to aggression, while raising questions about the nature of free will, responsibility and the limits of state interference in the life of the individual. <\/p>\n
Central to the plot is an experimental therapy designed to “cure” the protagonist of violence through psychological conditioning. Burgess thus creates a poignant story about the conflict between imposed morality and morality resulting from choice, forcing the reader to reflect on whether a man deprived of the opportunity to do evil still remains human. <\/p>\n
The novel fascinates with the dynamics of events, linguistic originality and psychological intensity, which makes it remain one of the most influential works of dystopian literature of the 20th century.<\/p>\n
