"To give symphonic shape to verbal narrative"--this §was the main target Anthony Burgess set for himself §before writing the Napoleon Symphony. Himself being §a composer, music played a prominent role in his §life, and Burgess did not separate these two fields §of art, rather tried to approximate them as much §as possible. Burgess never deterred from §experimenting, he was famous for his strong and §original linguistic power with which he wrote his §novels. One of his main sources for inspiration was §music.§In this book the author examines two novels, A §Clockwork Orange and the Napoleon Symphony from §Burgess's oeuvre from a special point of view. The §book presents how music and especially how symphonic §structure appear in the two novels and in Burgess's §art.§Can music teach anything to a novelist? What is a §postmodern writer might learn from this art? These §questions are being answered in this book.
