Beschreibung
Anthony Burgess is an author who is on the verge of arriving on the international scene. This study can lay claim to originality since it approaches Burgess' fiction from the novel angle of a typology of his ouevre based on characterization. Character, the most important aspect of Burgess' novels, is understood as being the means Burgess chooses to establish his interpretation of earthly existence through the thematic-structuring principle of the quest. In novels ranging from the time of Christ to the end of the world, his protagonists are types of representative man, who at the end of their quests, come to accept the presence of good and evil in themselves, and to realize that this mirrors the duality of the duoverse in which they live.
