Anthony Burgess Knihy

Mechanický pomaranč patrí medzi to najlepšie, čo moderná literatúra priniesla. Už pred viac ako tridsiatimi rokmi, keď po prvý raz vyšla, sa stala „klasikou“. Rovnomenný film, ktorý podľa nej nakrútil Stanley Kubrick, sa rýchlo stal kultovým. Príbeh sa odohráva v Londýne v nie príliš vzdialenej budúcnosti. Hlavná postava Alex je vodcom štvorčlennej skupiny tínedžerov, ktorá pácha rozličné násilnosti. Medzi sebou rozprávajú zvláštnym slangom s implantovanými rusizmami. Alexa však chytia, dostane sa do väzenia, kde ho čaká hrozivý trest s nepredstaviteľnými následkami. Táto kniha je fascinujúcim jazykovým koncertom, brilantnou štúdiou násilia a zla v človeku i drsnou antiutópiou v Orwellovskom duchu.

Before Shakespeare in Love, there was Anthony Burgess's Nothing Like the Sun: a magnificent, bawdy telling of Shakespeare's love life.

Ingenious, chilling and darkly comic, 1985 combines a devastating critique of Orwell's 1984 with a terrifying vision of the future. As memorable as A Clockwork Orange, it is as powerful and unsettling as anything Burgess has written. First published in 1978, its thoughts and ideas still hold very true today.

In John 17, Jesus prayed for the unity of the church. Yet today, we tend to accept disunity as inevitable. In this book, Anthony Burgess calls us to addresses the spiritual and visible unity that Jesus desires for His people. Burgess speaks of how union and communion with Christ and His people are "the life and comfort of believers." Giving careful consideration of what Christian unity should look like, Burgess excels at uncovering common causes of division and promoting means to advance unity among God's people.

W.B. Yeats wrote of a poem that he "made it out of a mouthful of air". All literature and indeed language, Burgess argues, is made this way - an oral rather than a visual medium. Burgess goes on to present a survey of the history, development and cross-fertilization of languages.

In a collection of nonfiction writings, the British novelist addresses his childhood, his experiences in Malaysia and Monaco, his own work and its critics, and the work of his contemporaries.
