Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Stanley Kubrick's controversial film triggered copycat violence on
its initial release and as a result the director withdrew the film
from circulation in Britain, keeping it suppressed right up to his
death in 1999. The film follows sadistic punk Alex (Malcolm
McDowell) as he takes his gang on a rape and murder spree, showing
absolutely no mercy to any of his victims. When he is eventually
captured, the authorities subject him to a series of experiments
designed to rid him of his violent tendencies.

Their story moves fast - swirling through an incredible array of characters from passionate young lovers to ruthless layers, from an ice-cold aristocratic beauty to a shrewd, relentless detective - until the final thrilling climax.
