Orange mécanique, les rouages de la violence

OBSAH

Written in an invented language, "nasdat", a slang English hybridized with Russian words, "A Clockwork Orange" caused a double shockwave in the last century: when it was published in 1962, then in 1971, when it was adapted for the screen by Stanley Kubrick. Accused of glorifying violence, echoing the criminal acts that had claimed his work as their own, the deeply wounded British writer set out his concerns about the world in the making in an autobiographical manuscript, "The Clockwork Condition". In it, he sets out the humanist vision that inspired this dystopian universe, where the nihilistic violence of hopeless youth collides with a power determined to control beings through conditioning, using all-powerful technologies.
