Modest classic

I’m revisiting a fragile, 1972 Penguin edition of A Clockwork Orange, the rather short (144 pp) novel by Anthony Burgess. I was presented with it by a friend who didn’t need the glossary at the end of the book as he was learning Russian when he bought it and he was able to cope with the Nadsat chat unaided. Oh, to be so educated!
