Anthony Burgess

**Anthony Burgess** (25.2. 1917 &ndash; 22.11. 1993.) bio je britanski romanopisac, kritičar i kompozitor. Također je bio aktivan kao libretist, pjesnik, pijanist, dramatičar, scenarist, novinar, esejist, putopisac, spiker, prevodilac, lingvist i edukator.

Rođen je u Harpurhey, blizu Manchestera na sjeverozapadu Engleske, a veliki dio života je proveo u Jugoistočnoj Aziji, SAD i na Mediteranu.

Burgessova proza uključuje malajsku trilogiju (*[[The Long Day Wanes]]*), o sumraku Britanskog Imperija na Istoku; kvartet romana Enderbyju, samotnom pjesniku i njegovoj muzi; *[[Nothing Like the Sun: A Story of Shakespeare's Love Life|Nothing Like the Sun]]*, klasičnu spekulativnu rekonstrukciju Shakespeareovog ljubavnog života; kultno istraživanje prirod zla *[[A Clockwork Orange]]*; i remek-djelo *[[Earthly Powers]]*, panoramsku sagu o 20. vijeku.

Burgess je pisao kritičke studije o Joyceu, Hemingwayu, Shakespeareu i Lawrenceu, traktate o lingvistici *[[Language Made Plain]]* i *[[A Mouthful of Air]]*, te je bio plodan novinar, pišući na nekoliko jezika.

Preveo je i adaptirao *[[Cyrano de Bergerac (play)|Cyrano de Bergerac]]*, *[[Kralj Edip]]* i *[[Carmen]]* za teatar; napisao scenarije za mini-serije *[[Jesus of Nazareth (film)|Jesus of Nazareth]]* i *[[Moses the Lawgiver]]*; izmislio prahistorijski jezik koji se govori u filmu *[[Quest for Fire (film)|Potraga za vatrom]]*; i komponirao Sinfoni Melayu, Simfoniju (No. 3) u C-duru i operu *[[Blooms of Dublin]]*.
