UK BANNED BOOKS EDITION [2007] WILLIAM HEINEMANN

RARE Limited Edition hardcover printing.  Part of the Banned Books series by UK newspaper, The Independent.  Hardcover with Dust Jacket.  N ew and unread. 

In Anthony Burgess's nightmare vision of the future, where criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology. A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. When the state undertakes to reform Alex—to "redeem" him—the novel asks, "At what cost?"   This edition includes the controversial last chapter.
