Pressestimmen
Wildly and fantastically funny. . . . Here too is all the usual rich exuberance of Mr. Burgesss vocabulary, his love of quotations and literary allusions. . . . A remarkable and brilliantly imagined novel, vital and inventive.
Kurzbeschreibung
"The Wanting Seed" is a Malthusian comedy about the strange world that overpopulation will produce. Tristram Foxe and his wife, Beatrice-Joanna, live in their skyscraper world of spacelessness where official family limitation glorifies homosexuality ("It's Sapiens to be Homo"). This time of the near future is eventually transformed into a chaos of cannibalistic dining-clubs, fantastic fertility rituals, and wars without enemies. "The Wanting Seed" is a novel both extravagantly funny and grimly serious.

How does Anthony Burgess do it? Whenever I read one of his novels I am amazed. This was a dark comedy of constant action. You find yourself rolling on the floor laughing. You then must ask yourself what you are laughing at? Babies being turned to fuel. Towards the end you choke on your laughter and truly feel what Tristram feels.
Great!
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a beautiful document of life's sinusoidal societal changes. Burgess puts his characters in the worst possible scenarios, beats 'em up, hangs 'em out to dry, and then brings it all to one of the most perfect endings I've ever encountered. The book's huge circumstances put tiny, little life right in perspective.

When I got the wanting seed as a christmas present, I knew it would be good because of other works of bugesses. But it was more. This book includes so many bold statements agianst gov't, population, homosexuality, and yes, marriage and fidelity. This book has such involving and well created characters it is hard to believe it a work of fiction. In a clockwork orange, you almost have to hate the characters til the end. But in this book, he really shines on creativity.

Extremely good book, Burgess is truly admirable man.
This book shows a not so unique image of the future, but that's what makes it realistic. Even though that was not Burgess' point, it still gives an eerie idea of societies dark and... Lesen Sie weiter...

Splendid
Though not reading much of Burgess's literature, I rather enjoyed this book. I found myself entailed in the simplicity of a love story which the book is. Lesen Sie weiter...

Bit dated, but a must-read for lovers of Burgess' prose.
The conceit of this book is that the governors of a futuristic, terribly overcrowded world will do anything to discourage procreation. Lesen Sie weiter...
