Clockwork Orange. (German Version Product): Roman

The random nature of ultraviolence is both its most frightening aspect and a clear indication of its evil. It leaves everyone feeling vulnerable because anyone could be a victim of an attack. And this is what makes this book so morally problematic. . In ordinary attempts to justify violence, some claim is made that gives a reason why the victim should be harmed. Such attempts focus on the identity of the recipient of justi'ed violence. In self-defense, one may harm one's assailant because the assailant poses a threat to one ís own well-being. In just war thinking there must be a just cause (usually aggression) and violence has to be focused exclusively against the aggressor. But ultraviolence spreads violence in a way that simply ignores the identities of its victims. It is random and unpredictable violence. In Michael Baur's words, it is "systematically unsystematic." The result of ultraviolence is to create panic and chaos, sometimes in order to advance a political agenda, although in the case of Alex and his droogs violence has to be divorced from a political agenda as a sort of nihilistic glee in causing disorder.

Couldn't understand a word of it as, like the fine folk before me, ordered the German version. Whoopsie! :-D Very funny when I discovered this. I'm keeping it as a souvenir because it was hilarious and have since purchased the English version. To be fair it should be advertised a bit more clearly but I enjoyed this mishap all the same! However many people may not be as jovial as myself. Cheers Amazon! :-D

I really wish I had read the reviews before I bought this product. I don't know if the seller has changed their product description (I sincerely hope they have), but when I bought it, the description said nothing about it being in German! I don't speak German. It therefore goes without saying that I was not only dismayed, but I also ended up being behind for a seminar as an English version that I had to order AGAIN did not arrive before the lesson. It was most inconvenient. I was extremely annoyed, not only about being unable to prepare for my lesson, but also annoyed as I felt the seller had extorted six or seven pounds out of me under false pretenses. I would therefore not recommend this edition or seller to anyone. As it was, I have a friend who is reasonably fluent so it made a nice present for her and was therefore not a COMPLETE waste of money, but all the same....

Saw the show at the Edinburgh Fringe and wanted to study it more, Burgess very clever, when you think when it was written, as relevant today as ever it was

Great book I love it would have given 5stars only I didn't realise I had ordered it in german

Good value DVD., I have heard a lot about this film being controversial. It is, even after all this time.

disappointed with the ending.

Pity didn't have the original one eye bowler hat cover. Was an Independent reading of it.. chain and grimaced face not right!

"Clockwork Orange" von Anthony Burgess ist zweifellos ein zeitloser Klassiker, der in keiner gut sortierten Bibliothek fehlen sollte. Dieses Buch ist ein provokantes und tiefgründiges Werk, das die Abgründe der menschlichen Natur und die Komplexität von Moral und freiem Willen erforscht. Burgess' meisterhafte Verwendung von Sprache und die Erschaffung einer eigenen Slang-Sprache, Nadsat, verleihen der Geschichte eine unverwechselbare Stimme, die den Leser sofort in ihren Bann zieht.Die Handlung folgt dem jugendlichen Protagonisten Alex und seiner Bande, die sich in einer dystopischen Zukunftsvision von Gewalt und Anarchie verstricken. Die moralischen Fragen, die das Buch aufwirft, insbesondere im Hinblick auf Strafverfolgung und Rehabilitation, sind ebenso relevant wie damals, als es erstmals veröffentlicht wurde.Die Taschenbuchausgabe von 1997 bringt diesen literarischen Schatz in einem handlichen Format, das perfekt für unterwegs ist. Die Übersetzung ist gelungen und fängt die Essenz und den einzigartigen Stil des Originals hervorragend ein.Fazit: "Clockwork Orange" ist ein fesselnder und herausfordernder Roman, der zum Nachdenken anregt und einen bleibenden Eindruck hinterlässt. Ich kann dieses Buch jedem, der sich für tiefgründige Literatur interessiert, wärmstens empfehlen.

While I didn't realize it was in German, I am intrigued by the challenge of learning the language to re-read it. A classic by every meaning of the word, Anthony Burgess does a marvellous job. Also it arrived 4 days early so I am thrilled!

I found this book that is very hard to fine. I just wanted the cover so that I could frame it and make an interesting picture. The book came in German , but I I was fine with that.

schnell und gut, top!

Amazing and fast
