Burgess Anthony Title : Notizie dalla fine del mondo
Author: Burgess Anthony
Publisher: Einaudi

Sigmund Freud, Lev Trockij e l'apocalisse. Come fanno elementi tanto remoti a intrecciarsi per dare vita a un romanzo? La risposta poteva saperla soltanto Anthony Burgess, che ha composto il fluviale affresco di un secolo plasmato da tre grandi pulsioni: sesso, giustizia e sopravvivenza. La vita di Freud, dalle liti di famiglia al funerale del padre, per via dell'argomento indicibile e scandaloso delle sue ricerche, ai conflitti con i colleghi psichiatri altrettanto impreparati ad accogliere la rivoluzione dell'inconscio, fino alla riluttante e triste fuga dall'Austria nazista. I mesi di Trockij a New York prima della Rivoluzione russa, che trascorrono surreali come un musical, il suo rapporto con una giovane donna che lo mette in discussione mentre deve trascriverne i pensieri e il suo disprezzo per la classe operaia americana incapace di vedere il sol dell'avvenire. E poi gli ultimi giorni del mondo: in un futuro non troppo lontano la terra sta per essere colpita dalla cometa Lynx, e degli scienziati hanno studiato una nave spaziale per la fuga, ma ovviamente non ci sarà abbastanza posto per tutti... «Se la civiltà che ci siamo riuniti a salvare è solo una questione di scibile intellettuale e conoscenze tecniche non val la pena salvarla. Dove sono finite giustizia, compassione, lealtà, allegria - perfino un pizzico salutare di umana inefficienza?»

Burgess Anthony; Bandel Dragone F. (cur.) Title : Trilogia malese: L'ora della tigre-Letti d'Oriente-Il nemico tra le coperte
Author: Burgess Anthony; Bandel Dragone F. (cur.)
Publisher: Einaudi

Protagonista dei tre romanzi che compongono la trilogia burgessiana è Victor Crabbe, funzionario del ministero dell'istruzione inglese, che in Malaysia insegna storia nei college in cui si va formando quella che sarà la classe dirigente del nuovo stato indipendente. Con lui c'è la moglie, che rifiuta, quasi fosse in esilio, la vita nell'ex colonia britannica. A poco a poco però si lascia affascinare dal Paese e il fatto la avvicina al marito, anche se a separarli è qualcosa di interiore che attiene alla loro storia di europei alla ricerca di se stessi.

Burgess Anthony; Biswell A. (cur.) Title : Arancia meccanica
Author: Burgess Anthony; Biswell A. (cur.)
Publisher: Einaudi

La storia di Alex, della violenza che si porta dentro e di quella del mondo cinico e ottuso che pensa di poterlo curare. Un grande classico contemporaneo, terrificante e meraviglioso. «Per molti versi il libro sono io: perché quello che scriviamo riguarda molto quello che siamo. E il libro rivela una battaglia interiore con questa idea: quella del male. Non solo il male, ma il pericolo di provare a correggerlo. In linea di massima sono molto scettico riguardo all'uso del potere per cambiare gli altri. Alla fine noi, in quanto esseri umani, dobbiamo scendere a patti da soli con il dilemma del bene e del male, di ciò che è giusto e sbagliato, come di qualsiasi altra cosa. Dio non lo farà al posto nostro. Se un Dio c'è, è un Dio sovrumano: a lui poco importa delle motivazioni umane. Anche se al mondo non ci fossero più esseri umani i principî del bene e del male continuerebbero a esistere. Non credo che tra duemila anni, sempre se esisterà ancora, il mondo sarà meno malvagio, o meno buono. Il conflitto non finisce mai» (Anthony Burgess). Completano il volume un glossario, un'appendice di testi inediti dell'autore, alcune pagine annotate del manoscritto originale. Prefazione di Martin Amis.

Burgess Anthony; Mascheroni L. (cur.) Title : Il diavolo nella bottiglia. Ediz. critica
Author: Burgess Anthony; Mascheroni L. (cur.)
Publisher: De Piante Editore

«Il diavolo nella bottiglia» è un lungo elzeviro, scritto da Anthony Burgess per 'Il Giornale' di Montanelli nel 1980. L'articolo è una brillante cavalcata lungo i rapporti fra alcol e letteratura tra giudizi fulminati, aneddoti personali, excursus sulle ricadute sociali dell'alcolismo e divagazioni sull'alcol come 'elemento' di ispirazione poetica. È il libro perfetto per chi apprezza la prosa limpida e morbida della migliore tradizione inglese, con un retrogusto cinico.

Burgess Anthony, Marnham Patrick (FRW) Title : Ernest Hemingway
Author: Burgess Anthony, Marnham Patrick (FRW)
Publisher: Tauris Parke Paperbacks

Ernest Hemingway was 'a man who lived it up to write it down' and his life became the root from which his novels grew. At the age of 18 he was awarded a medal for bravery in the First World War; he honed his literary craft in 1920s Paris; his macho image grew with his love of big-game hunting, deep-sea fishing and bull-fighting and was cemented during the Spanish Civil War, when he survived the bombardment of Madrid. But, by the 1940s, the darkness of his alcoholism and violent rages began to weigh heavily. Hemingway had become the patriarch of American literature but he was plagued by unrelenting demons and an insidious disenchantment with life. In this unflinching portrait, Anthony Burgess explores Hemingway’s fatal contradictions: his arrogance and self-doubt, his machismo and vulnerability. He reveals a man who was as much a creation as his books yet who, even at his worst, reminds us that to engage literature one has first to engage life.

Burgess Anthony, Cox Lucia (ADP) Title : One Hand Clapping
Author: Burgess Anthony, Cox Lucia (ADP)
Publisher: Bloomsbury Methuen Drama

Sometimes when I'm at work and waiting for customers I think about the two of us living like kings and not bothering about the future. Because there may not be any future to bother about, you know. Not for anybody, one of these days. And it's a wicked world.

Average couple Janet and Howard's lives begin to unravel when Howard's photographic memory helps win him a gameshow fortune.

Janet doesn't want their lives to change that much. She's quite happy working at the supermarket, cooking for her husband three times a day and watching quiz shows in the evening.

But once Howard unleashes his photographic brain on the world, the once modest used-car salesman can't seem to stop.

And what he sees as the logical conclusion to his success isn't something Janet can agree to.

Burgess's 1961 darkly comic satire of drab English consumerism is adapted for the stage by Lucia Cox. This edition was published to coincide with the US premiere at the Brits Off-Broadway Festival, at 59E59 Theatre, New York, in May 2015.

Burgess Anthony Title : Arancia meccanica
Author: Burgess Anthony
Publisher: Einaudi

Alex è un eroe dei nostri tempi: un teppista sempre pronto a tirar fuori il coltello, capo di una banda di duri che ogni sera, sui marciapiedi dei sobborghi, ripete il gioco della violenza: rapine, stupri, scassi, assalti ai negozi, scontri con altre bande. Finché Alex, che si interessa solo a Beethoven, viene tradito dai suoi amici durante una delle tante sue imprese. Le terapie di rieducazione, non meno violente, lo ridurranno a un'arancia meccanica, in balia delle sue antiche vittime, in una girandola di situazioni grottesche e paradossali.

Burgess Anthony, Hollander Tom (NRT) Title : A Clockwork Orange (CD Audiobook)
Author: Burgess Anthony, Hollander Tom (NRT)
Publisher: Harperaudio

A vicious fifteen-year-old droog is the central character of this 1963 classic. In Anthony Burgess's nightmare vision of the future, where the criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology. A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. And when the state undertakes to reform Alex to 'redeem' him, the novel asks, 'At what cost?'

This edition includes the controversial last chapter not published in the first edition and Burgess's introduction 'A Clockwork Orange Resucked.'

Burgess Anthony Title : Honey for the Bears
Author: Burgess Anthony
Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc

A sharply written satire, Honey for the Bears sends an unassuming antiques dealer, Paul Hussey, to Russia to do one final deal on the black market as a favor for a dead friend's wife. Even on the ship's voyage across, the Russian sensibility begins to pervade: lots of secrets and lots of vodka. When his American wife is stricken by a painful rash and he is interrogated at his hotel by Soviet agents who know that he is trying to sell stylish synthetic dresses to the masses starved for fashion, his precarious inner balance is thrown off for good. More drink follows, discoveries of his wife's illicit affair with another woman, and his own submerged sexual feelings come breaking through the surface, bubbling up in Russian champagne and caviar.

Burgess Anthony Title : Tremor of Intent
Author: Burgess Anthony
Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc

Denis Hillier is an aging British agent based in Yugoslavia. His old school friend Roper has defected to the USSR to become one of the evil empire's great scientific minds. Hillier must bring Roper back to England or risk losing his fat retirement bonus. As thoughtful as it is funny, this morality tale of a Secret Service gone mad features sex, gluttony, violence, treachery, and religion. Anthony Burgess's cast of astonishing characters includes Roper's German prostitute wife; Miss Devi and her Tamil love treatise; and the large Mr. Theodorescu, international secret monger and lascivious gourmand. A rare combination of the deadly serious and the absurd, the lofty and the lusty, Tremor of Intent will hold you in its thrall.

Burgess Anthony Title : Nothing Like the Sun
Author: Burgess Anthony
Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc

A magnificent, bawdy telling of Shakespeare’s love life, following young Will’s maturation into sex and writing. A playful romp, it is at the same time a serious look at the forces that midwife art, the effects of time and place, and the ordinariness that is found side by side with the extraordinariness of genius.

“Burgess can remake reality not only in his own writing but also in a new perception of the writings of his subject.”—New York Times Book Review

Burgess Anthony, Biswell Andrew (EDT) Title : A Clockwork Orange
Author: Burgess Anthony, Biswell Andrew (EDT)
Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc

A Clockwork Orange is as brilliant, transgressive, and influential as when it was published fifty years ago. A nightmare vision of the future told in its own fantastically inventive lexicon, it has since become a classic of modern literature and the basis for Stanley Kubrick's once-banned film, whose recent reissue has brought this revolutionary tale on modern civilization to an even wider audience. Andrew Biswell, PhD, director of the International Burgess Foundation, has taken a close look at the three varying published editions alongside the original typescript to recreate the novel as Anthony Burgess envisioned it. We publish this landmark edition with its original British cover and six of Burgess's own illustrations.
