From Booklist

*Starred Review* It may be a sign of a great work that it can be misinterpreted by detractors and proponents alike. Contemporary readers who saw Burgess 1962 dystopian novel as a celebration of youth violence were as far off base as the teens since then who have thrilled to the transgressive violence itor, at least, Stanley Kubricks film adaptationdepicts. But paradox is at the heart of this book, as this newly restored, fiftieth-anniversary edition makes more clear than ever. Narrated by Alex, a teenage dandy who revels in language (he speaks a slang called Nadsat), music (especially Bach and Beethoven), and violence, especially violence. When imprisoned for murder, he is offered a chance at reform and leaps at itbut the reform turns out to be brainwashing, an aversion therapy that, alas, leaves him able to enjoy neither beatings nor Beethoven. Upon his release he becomes first a victim of his victims, then a cause célèbre of antigovernment activists before . . . well, publishers offered different endings to British and American audiences, as readers will discover here. What makes A Clockwork Orange so challenging, besides the language (“He looked a malenky bit poogly when he viddied the four of us”), is Burgess willingness to use an unsympathetic protagonist to make his point, which is essentially that it may be better to choose evil than to be forced to be good. (For, as it is put by two different characters: “When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.”) Readers can revisit or discover a classic that, while drawing from Aldous Huxleys Brave New World and Graham Greenes Brighton Rock, has in turn influenced authors from Irvine Welsh to Suzanne Collins. Extras include a thoughtful introduction by editor Andrew Biswell, reproductions of manuscript pages annotated by Burgess, and a previously unpublished chapter of a book that was to have been called The Clockwork Condition, in which Burgess intended to set the record straight about his intentions now that Kubricks film adaptation had made him famous. Readers will learn much, including the meaning behind the books title. All in all, a fitting publication of a book that remains just as shocking and thought provoking as ever. –Keir Graff

Review

A gruesomely witty cautionary tale Time Every generation should discover this book Time Out Not only about man’s violent nature and his capacity to choose between good and evil. It is about the excitements and intoxicating effects of language Daily Telegraph I do not know of any other writer who has done as much with language…a very funny book — William S. Burroughs One of the cleverest and most original writers of his generation The Times

Fans of Ayn Rand’s ATLAS SHRUGGED will no doubt disagree with me here, but _A Clockwork Orange_ may be the most remarkable man-against-the-State story ever published. Anthony Burgess’s approach is in one significant sense the opposite of Rand’s: where she tried to project a hero (and in my opinion failed; John Galt seems to be little more than a one-dimensional abstraction), Burgess projects a thoroughly depraved teenager and forces us to root for him anyway. It’s not every author who can make you watch a bunch of gratuitous sex’n’violence and _then_ conclude that even great moral depravity trumps behavioristic psychology and mechanistic determinism.

What "protagonist" (or Your Humble Narrator, at any rate) Alex does in the first half of the novel will make you ill. But what the State does to him to "cure" him makes his nadsat gang violence seem almost . . . well, "innocent" isn’t quite the right word, but the fact that I’m even thinking of that word is an indication of Anthony Burgess’s power.

For Burgess, the important thing is moral choice, and the possibility of choice entails the possibility of evil. Once Alex has been "reformed" by the very latest techniques of behavioristic science, it’s no longer even _possible_ for him to be moral — and that’s somehow more horrible than any of his own horrible acts.

But Burgess stops short of making volition an object of idolatry. In the first place, he doesn’t make any argument that Alex’s actions were somehow "good" merely because he had _chosen_ them; quite the contrary.

“A terrific introduction to the emerging science of behavioral finance.” — Money magazine

The authors don’t offer simplistic solutions, but hard facts and sound advice.”

–Robert J. Hughes, SmartMoney

Martin Scorsese’s new movie, The Wolf of Wall Street, stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a drug-addled con man who made millions by hawking worthless penny stocks to legions of unsuspecting buyers. As I sat through the 3-hour greed fest, I kept thinking, “Gee, I’d never be that stupid with my money.” Yeah, sure.

I was so smart that I believed the HR person from my former employer, a California tech company, who convinced me I should keep all my retirement earnings in the company stock and not bother diversifying. A year later those earnings dropped 85% in one day. Later, I was so smart I let my ex-husband invest my remaining money in his latest fool-proof investment strategy—God help me. I’ll spare you the gory details when, all by myself, I went into Forex, the foreign currency exchange that is so popular right now. Oh yeah, I was one smart cookie with money!

If you’re like me (fess up, I know I’m not alone), you’ll want to read the books I discovered as part of my resolution to “Be Smart in 2014.”

Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes—And How To Correct Them: Lessons from the New Science of Behavioral Economics (Simon & Schuster, 1999) is a book I should have read—and memorized–years ago. It’s a solid, reader-friendly, amazing look at why so many of us are stupid with money.

Authors Gary Belsky (a money journalist) and Thomas Gilovich (a Cornell psychologist) lay out convincing, and shocking, reasons why we are stupid. The overriding cause of our stupidity, they claim, is over-confidence. Our own, first, of course. We watch a TV money meister for a few weeks and think we’re experts.

But also because, in our “Culture of Confidence,” we are induced to equate confidence with actual expertise. Big mistake.

Archmage (Legend of Drizzt: Homecoming) MP3 CD – Audiobook, MP3 Audio, Unabridged
Author: R. A. Salvatore ID: 1511327553

About the Author

R.A. Salvatore was born in Massachusetts in 1959. His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications in 1981, then returned for the degree he always cherished, the Bachelor of Arts in English. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic. His first published novel was The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988 and he is still best known as the creator of the dark elf Drizzt, one of fantasys most beloved characters. His novel The Silent Blade won the Origins Award, and in the fall of 1997, his letters, manuscripts, and other professional papers were donated to the R.A. Salvatore Library at his alma mater, Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts.

Series: Legend of Drizzt: Homecoming (Book 1)MP3 CDPublisher: Audible Studios on Brilliance Audio; MP3 Una edition (December 1, 2015)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1511327553ISBN-13: 978-1511327558 Product Dimensions: 5.2 x 0.5 x 6.8 inches Shipping Weight: 3.2 ounces (View shipping rates and policies) Best Sellers Rank: #711,850 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #9189 in Books > Science Fiction & Fantasy > Fantasy > Epic
Archmage continues the epic Legend of Drizzt series by R.A. Salvatore; a tale that is among the longest fantasy series ever produced. That is an awful lot of books following this lone Drow, but somehow, Mr. Salvatore continues to keep the stories fresh and exciting after all this time.

The tale begins with the War for the Silver Marches having ended in the defeat of the orcs and their allies the Drow of Menzoberranzan. Naturally, the dwarves of the three citadels are overjoyed at their hated enemies defeat and banishment to the distant mountains, and none more so that Bruenor Battlehammer, who sees this victory as the first step in finishing up business that eluded him in his first life. And so he immediately turns his attention from rebuilding the Silver Marches to rallying a force of dwarves to follow him to their ancient homeland of Gauntlgrym, where he intends to drive out its new inhabitants and reclaim it for his people.

The dwarven task will not be easy, however, because the Drow citizens of the city of Q’Xorlarrin are the main residents of ancient Gauntlgrym, and they intend to keep it. But the Drow (as usual) are distracted by the constant in-fighting of the Menzoberranzan royal houses. These chaotic groups busily weaving intricate webs of intrigue between themselves; each house hoping to raise their own standing by seeing to the humiliation or destruction of the others within Goddess Lolth’s city. And if that wasn’t enough, behind the scenes Lolth herself is busy expertly instigating it all. Her true motives remain hidden, but her initial desire is revealed, as she tricks an unsuspecting ally into slowly planting within Archmage Gromph Baenre’s mind the idea to cast a spell that will surely result in the destruction of the drow themselves!
