Anthony Burgess Libros

La historia del nadsat-adolescente Alex y sus tres drugos-amigos en un mundo de crueldad y destrucción. Alex tiene, según Burgess, "los principales atributos humanos; amor a la agresión, amor al lenguaje, amor a la belleza. Pero es joven y no ha entendido aún la verdadera importancia de la libertad, la que disfruta de un modo tan violento. En cierto sentido vive en el Edén, y sólo cuando cae (como en verdad le ocurre, desde una ventana) parece capaz de llegar a transformase en un verdadero ser humano".

Un escritor sexagenario atraviesa un bache creativo que termina conduciéndole a una crisis personal. A lo largo de su vida, su principal forma de encontrar la escritura creativa ha sido sentado en la tapa del inodoro. Ahora, no obstante, ni siquiera ese excéntrico método da resultados. Presentación de un personaje que dará origen a un ciclo, y a la vez obra antónima en sí misma, Enderby por dentro traza el soberbio retrato irónico de un poeta retirado en una población costera del sur de Inglaterra, en un mundo extravagante, disparatado y sórdido, que se muestra con inventiva y sarcástica lucidez. Enderby atrapado en las redes del matrimonio, cepillado y manicurado, vivirá una pavorosa luna de miel de alcoholismo y disputas teológicas en Roma, de la que surgirá la mencionada crisis final de sequedad creadora.

In John 17, Jesus prayed for the unity of the church. Yet today, we tend to accept disunity as inevitable. In this book, Anthony Burgess calls us to addresses the spiritual and visible unity that Jesus desires for His people. Burgess speaks of how union and communion with Christ and His people are "the life and comfort of believers." Giving careful consideration of what Christian unity should look like, Burgess excels at uncovering common causes of division and promoting means to advance unity among God's people.
