'What's it going to be then, eh?'
In this nightmare vision of youth in revolt, fifteen-year-old Alex and his friends set out on a diabolical orgy of robbery, rape, torture and murder. Alex is jailed for his teenage delinquency and the State tries to reform him - but at what cost?
Social prophecy? Black comedy? Study of freewill? A Clockwork Orange is all of these. It is also a dazzling experiment in language, as Burgess creates a new language - 'nadsat', the teenage slang of a not-too-distant future.

Condición: Bueno. : Sumérgete en la inquietante y electrizante novela de Anthony Burgess, 'La Naranja Mecánica', una obra que inspiró una de las películas más controvertidas de la historia. En un futuro distópico, Alex, un joven de quince años, y sus 'drugos' se entregan a una espiral de violencia, robos y ultrajes. Tras ser encarcelado, Alex se somete a un controvertido tratamiento de 'reforma' estatal. ¿Es esta novela una profecía social, una comedia negra o un estudio sobre el libre albedrío? 'La Naranja Mecánica' es todo eso y más, un audaz experimento lingüístico que crea el 'nadsat', la jerga adolescente de un futuro no muy lejano. Una obra imprescindible que sigue resonando en cada generación.
