About A Clockwork Orange
A Clockwork Orange was first published in 1962 and bears the influence of the events of the 1960s, including the rise of youth subcultures, the mounting tensions of the Cold War and the development of behaviourism in psychology. It tells the story of Alex, who revels in violence until her undergoes a new psychological treatment that profoundly alters the way he sees the world and effectively takes away his free will.
The book met with a lukewarm reception when it first appeared; it was not until Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film adaptation of the same name that it met with both acclaim and notoriety. It was banned in numerous US schools in the 1970s because of fears of copycat acts, but it is now regularly included on lists of the greatest novels of the 20th century.
