A Clockwork Orange
Anthony Burgess, 1962
BURGESS, Anthony (1917-1993). A Clockwork Orange. London: Heinemann, 1962.

First edition, first issue, with the price "16s Net" on front flap of dust jacket. Burgess’s dystopian novel was judged by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best English novels of the 20th century, and was adapted as a now-classic film by Stanley Kubrick. Its radical exploration of language, violence, and government coercion has earned it a place on banned book lists for over 50 years.

Octavo. (Blue star stamped to front endpaper.) Original black cloth, pictorial dust jacket (minor rubbing to spine panel ends); custom box.
