Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917. He served in the
army from 1940 to 1954 before becoming a colonial education
officer. It was while he held this post that doctors told him he
would die, and he decided to try to live by writing.
He achieved a worldwide reputation as one of the leading novelists
of his day, and one of the most versitile. His writings include
criticism, scripts and translations, and a Broadway musical, and he
composed three symphonies which have been publicly performed in the
USA. His books have been published all over the world and include A
Clockwork Orange, The Clockwork Testament, Inside Mr Enderby,
Enderby's Dark Lady, Earthly Powers, Abba Abba and The End of the
World News.
Anthony Burgess died in 1993.
