This is the fully restored fiftieth anniversary edition. It includes a foreword by Martin Amis. First published by William Heinemann in 1962, "A Clockwork Orange" is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. This special edition, compiled and edited by Andrew Biswell, Burgess' biographer, restores the text of the novel as Burgess originally wrote it, and includes a selection of interviews, articles, reviews and other previously unpublished material.
