Anthony Burgess
John Anthony Burgess Wilson, (; 25 February 1917 – 22 November 1993) who published under the name Anthony Burgess, was an English writer and composer.Although Burgess was primarily a comic writer, his dystopian satire ''A Clockwork Orange'' remains his best-known novel. In 1971, it was adapted into a controversial film by Stanley Kubrick, which Burgess said was chiefly responsible for the popularity of the book. Burgess produced numerous other novels, including the Enderby quartet, and ''Earthly Powers''. He wrote librettos and screenplays, including the 1977 television mini-series ''Jesus of Nazareth''. He worked as a literary critic for several publications, including ''The Observer'' and ''The Guardian'', and wrote studies of classic writers, notably James Joyce. A versatile linguist, Burgess lectured in phonetics, and translated ''Cyrano de Bergerac'', ''Oedipus Rex'', and the opera ''Carmen'', among others. Burgess was nominated and shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1973.
Burgess also composed over 250 musical works; he considered himself as much a composer as an author, although he achieved considerably more success in writing. Provided by Wikipedia
