By Tim Conley Anthony Burgess Anthony Burgess wrote and wrote and wrote. The word "prolific" does not even come close to describing a man who produced over thirty novels, many studies of language, music, Shakespeare and James Joyce, hundreds of reviews, film and television scripts, opera librettos, several symphonies, newspaper articles, a pair each of plays and books for children, one volume of poetry, a ballet, and a two-volume autobiography. "I refuse no reasonable offer of work," he confessed in 1978, "and very few unreasonable ones." He produced several translations from various languages, and could read French, Italian, Russian, Indonesian, Gaelic, Swedish, Anglo-Saxon, and heaven only knows what others (he devised an ur-language for the prehistoric denizens of the film Quest for Fire ). When in his seventies, Burgess began to study Hebrew and Japanese, but his strained eyes could not seize the written characters. Still he scorned surrender: "How can one fade out in peace, carrying vast ignorance into a state of total ignorance?" To contemplate the possible scope of Burgess's ignorance expands one's own humility (and perhaps even shame). Burgess once said of Umberto Eco, "no man should know that much": anyone else might enviously say the same of Burgess.
He was born John Anthony Burgess Wilson on 25 Feb 1917 in Manchester; when he was two years old he would watch his mother die of influenza. His enrolment at university in Manchester would later haunt him, as he felt excluded and denigrated by Oxbridge types for the crime of not being one of them. From a young age, Burgess's reading was voracious and wide, and he must surely be the only soldier who went to the front with a copy of

Burgess is acknowledged to have been one of the most imaginative and experimental English prose stylists. Burgess's best-known work is A Clockwork Orange (1962), written in an imaginary teen slang and set in a classless, futuristic society, where an intelligent young hoodlum asserts his individuality by deliberately choosing to do evil.

Summary
The story begins with the terrible crimes of Alex and his companions. They are kids who live at night. One night they first assault a man and then decide to steal a car. Once they have stolen the card they cruise around and stop in front of a house. They find a way to get in the house and there they find a man and a woman. They attack the woman and leave her injured (later in the book it seems she is dead), and Alex destroyes the book the man is writing called ‘A clockwork orange’.
On another night they decide to rob an old woman, but it turns out to be a trap of one of Alex’ companions. He wants to be in control of the group and puts Alex in a miserable situation. He sees himself forced to kill the old woman and is caught by the police.
After some beatings in the police station, Alex is sent to jail. But after a few years he gets the possibility to join in a special program which will get him out of prison in two weeks. He decides to participate, not yet knowing what will happen to him. In this program he is forced to watch all kinds of violence in movies all the time, being strapped to a chair. The effect of these movies is strengthened by classical music. The result of this treatment is that Alex gets sick whenever he even thinks of violence.
After this treatment he is proclaimed cured and he’s a free man again. When he gets home he’s rejected by his parents and he goes to a bookshop to...

Anthony Burgess (1917-1993) - also called Joseph Kell, original name Jon Anthony Burgess Wilson English novelist, composer, and critic, whose novels are characterized by verbal inventiveness and social satire. Burgess has also written several biographies. However, the author's first love was music: he composed a number of works before publishing his first books. Among Burgess's best-known novels is A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1962). "'What's going to be then, eh?'
There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, dim being really dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar making up rassoodocks what to do with the evening, a flip dark chill winter bastard through dry."
(the beginning of A Clockwork Orange John Anthony Burgess Wilson was born in Manchester into a Catholic middle-class family. His father was a cashier and pub pianist. After his mother died in the flu pandemic of 1919, he was brought up by a maternal aunt and later by a stepmother. Burgess studied at Xaverian College and Manchester University, where he read English language and literature, graduating in 1940. During World War II Burgess served in the Royal Army Medical corps, leaving the army as a sergeant-major. In 1942 he married Llwela Isherwood Jones, who died of alcoholic cirrhosis in 1968. From 1946 to 1950 Burgess lectured at Birmingham University, he was the Ministry of Education lecturer in phonetics, and taught at Banbury Grammar School. Until 1959 Burgess wrote comparatively little, but primararily studied music composition. His first novel, A VISION OF BATTLEMENT, was completed in 1949 but published in 1965. It was loosely based on the

British novelist, composer, librettist, essayist, semanticist, translator and critic, Anthony Burgess published over 50 books. In a 1973 interview in The Paris Review about the art of fiction, he said, "The ideal reader of my novels is a lapsed Catholic and failed musician, short-sighted, color-blind, auditorily biased, who has read the books that I have read."
His best-known novel, A Clockwork Orange (1962), offered a bleak vision of a violence-ridden future. It follows a murderous, Beethoven-loving teen-age gang leader in complacent and conformist society. Roving bands of delinquents fight, steal and rape to assert their freedom against the conformity of a clockwork society. Dark and powerful, A Clockwork Orange is written in an artificial language that owes something to Russian but most of all to Burgess's uninhibited experimentation with language.
William Burroughs, another linguistic experimenter, said of the novel: "I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language as Mr Burgess has done here."

Burgess Anthony
, a Nonconformist clergyman, was the son of a schoolmaster at Watford, in Hertfordshire ^ and educated at St. John ’s college, Cambridge . He afterwards became a fellow of Emanuel college, and took his master’s degree. He obtained the living of SuttonColfield, in Warwickshire , in 1635, by the death of the rev. John Burgess, but no relation. He was afterwards one of the assembly of divines, and although inclined to conformity before the rebellion, acquired such opinions on the subject as induced him to submit to ejectment aftet the restoration. Dr. Racket, bishop of Lichfield and Coventry , who had a high opinion of his learning, and said he was fit for a professor’s chair in the university, endeavoured by every argument to retain him in the church, but in vain, although Mr. Burgess went to the parish church of Tamworth , where he spent the remainder of his days, and lived in cordiality with the incumbent. At what time he died, is not mentioned. The celebrated Dr. John Wallis was his pupil, and says he was “
