Detalhes do Livro
Descrição
Ultrageweld is van alle tijden. Lees en huiver.
Vijftig jaar na publicatie van het origineel verschijnt eindelijk de Nederlandse vertaling die de roman verdient. Hun grote staat van dienst, hun virtuositeit, hun taalgevoel en hun inventiviteit maken Harm Damsma en Niek Miedema tot de ideale vertalers van «A Clockwork Orange».

Over the three days it took me to read the story I was continually rewarded with a headache from trying to decipher its God awful slang system, having to Google some of the least used terms when I was just absolutely stuck. It makes the story unapproachable and unnecessary obtuse in flow when you're continually having to either Google what it means or go back and reread for context clues only to find out that Alex was talking about a knife, teeth, money, books, girls, and whatever else comes to text. The theme of nature vs conditioned behavior is nothing special whatsoever. Alex's violent nature makes him irredeemable so to posit that he is willing to turn his life around because he wants to have a kid after he sees one of his former droogs in a Café is just lazy and ridiculous. I don't get it. The opening scene of Kubrick's adaption is great though so there's one positive thing I can say about the text.
