Especially not in an election year, when the streets swell with crowds from near and far. This is a story of power.ĭead bodies aren't unusual in the alleyways of Fenest, capital of the Union of Realms. Several decades later, Burgess' most singular work still stands. Together these two works form a unique guide to one of the twentieth century's most talented, imaginative and prescient writers. He skewers both the present and the future, describing a state where industrial disputes and social unrest compete with overwhelming surveillance, security concerns and the dominance of technology to make life a thing to be suffered rather than lived. Part two is Burgess' own dystopic vision, written in 1978. The first is a sharp analysis: through dialogues, parodies and essays, Burgess sheds new light on what he called 'an apocalyptic codex of our worst fears', creating a critique that is literature in its own right. Summary In characteristically daring style, Anthony Burgess combines two responses to Orwell's 1984 in one book. But please don't worry, you still have more than 500,000 other books you can enjoy! 1985 Anthony Burgess
