Irriverente e profondo, caustico e documentale, misurato e godibilissimo, il ritratto di Ernest Hemingway delineato da Anthony Burgess in questa appassionata biografia mette lo scrittore a confronto con l'uomo. Se però, mezzo secolo dopo la morte di Hemingway, l'impareggiabile stile delle sue pagine (alcune delle più intense del Novecento, grazie alle quali l'autore di "Per chi suona la campana" e "Il vecchio e il mare" vinse il Nobel per la l...

These are Anthony Burgess's candid confessions: he was seduced at the age of nine by an older woman, Little Wilson and Big God moves from Moss Side to Malaya recalling Burgess's time as an education officer in the tropics, his tempestuous first marriage, his struggles with Catholicism and the beginning of his prolific writing life.

Ernest Hemingway was arguably the most influential writer of the 20th century, the Nobel Prize-winning author of such classics as For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms, and a man who lived his life with as much passion and intensity as many of the characters in his novels. With exceptional insight, Anthony Burgess traces Hemingway's singular life: from complacent childhood to the horrors of the First and Second Wor...

Set in postwar Malaya at the time when people and governments alike are bemused and dazzled by the turmoil of independence, this three-part novel is rich in hilarious comedy and razor-sharp in observation.

Anthony Burgess's modern classic of youthful violence and social redemption, reissued to include the controversial last chapter not previously published in this country, with a new introduction by the author.

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.
