![]() Interestingly, Anthony Burgess was against the inclusion of a glossary and refused to assist in compiling it, so consequently there are a few ommisions, mistakes and much speculation Burgess himself wanted the reader to figure out the language whilst reading the book, and helped by including writing techniques to help with that understanding, for example, in the first few pages he occasionally includes a translation in brackets in the dialogue itself, sometimes in English and sometimes in Nadsat - see extract, below.

The science fiction novella, A Clockwork Orange, written in 1962, and set in a near dystopian future revolves around a violent youth subculture and specifically the delinquent 15 year old, Alex and his 'droogs' (friends), and his ultimate rehabilitation into society with the use of an experimental cure, after being arrested by the authorities.
