Заводной апельсин. Вожделеющее семя
Английский прозаик, критик, переводчик и композитор Энтони Бёрджесс (1917-1993) начал свою литературную деятельность на пятом десятке и успел написать много книг, но, прежде всего, он известен как автор скандального «Заводного апельсина». И роман, и снятый по нему фильм буквально шокировали публику. Какое-то время книгу считали опасной, а фильм до сих пор запрещен к широкому показу в Великобритании. Помимо «Заводного апельсина» в книгу включен известный читателям роман «Вожделеющее семя», в котором фантазия Э. Бёрджесса предстает во всем блеске.

Вожделеющий семя просто очень круто и своевременно, а вот Заводной апельсин со вставками вроде как русских слов осилить пока не могу
