Brilliantly told in harsh, invented slang by the novel's main character and merciless droog, Alex, Anthony Burgess takes us on a journey to a nightmarish future where sociopathic criminals rule the night.
Sebastian Prendergast lives in a geodesic dome with his eccentric grandmother. But when his grandmother has a stroke, Sebastian has to make it on his own.
