Alex è un eroe dei nostri tempi: un teppista sempre pronto a tirar fuori il coltello, capo di una banda di duri che ogni sera, sui marciapiedi dei sobborghi, ripete il gioco della violenza: rapine, stupri, scassi, assalti ai negozi, scontri con altre bande. Finché Alex, che si interessa solo a Beethoven, viene tradito dai suoi amici durante una delle tante sue imprese. Le terapie di rieducazione, non meno violente, lo ridurranno a un'arancia meccanica, in balia delle sue antiche vittime, in una girandola di situazioni grottesche e paradossali. Con una testimonianza di Anthony Burgess e un'intervista a Stanley Kubrick che da questo romanzo ha tratto l'omonimo film.

In John 17, Jesus prayed for the unity of the church. Yet today, we tend to accept disunity as inevitable.
