The first ten to register will receive a free hard copy of the book delivered to their doorstep.

For the rest of us there are ebooks and hardcopies available at (online) retailers for less than 10 euros.

Some material to get you started:

  • There are several interviews online with the author, Anthony Burgess. Get some insight into the context behind this famous story with this one on YouTube.
  • If you’re reading the book you’ll notice the use of slang, much of it Russian in origin. Thankfully Wikipedia has a list with translations.
  • Finally, there’s the movie by Stanley Kubrick which is definitely worth a look.
