One of the few works of fiction in the 20th century to explore the dangerous yet glamorous appeal of fascism and the less than satisfactory answer of traditional democracy. "A moral dialogue thrown into narrative form. It is humanity versus power, sprawling life versus death-dealing regimentation." -New York Times. Introduction by Anthony Burgess.
