A Clockwork Orange & Honey for the Bears - Anthony Burgess - 1968 Modern Library

Experience two sides of Anthony Burgess's genius! This first Modern Library edition pairs his chilling dystopian masterpiece, "A Clockwork Orange", with the darkly comic "Honey for the Bears" - a hilarious Cold War satire. "A Clockwork Orange" needs no introduction. Alex, our unforgettable narrator, plunges you into a future ravaged by youth violence. His violent exploits and eventual "rehabilitation" raise profound questions about free will, morality, and the nature of good and evil. "Honey for the Bears" takes you on a wild ride to Soviet Russia. Paul Hussey, an antique dealer, and his wife Belinda find themselves entangled with black marketeers, secret police, and a cast of eccentric characters. Burgess's sharp wit skewers both capitalism and communism, exposing the absurdity of political systems that prioritize control over humanity. This double feature showcases the full range of Burgess's talent. From chilling brutality to hilarious satire, it's a journey you won't forget. - A Clockwork Orange & Honey for the Bears - Anthony Burgess Published September 1968, Modern Library/Random House, New York.
