"One of Anthony Burgess's strangest works of fiction. This Anglo-Russian comedy follows its protagonists an English antique dealer named Paul Hussey and his errant wife, Belinda on a sea voyage to Leningrad (now St Petersburg) in Soviet Russia, where they become embroiled with black marketeers, secret policemen and political dissidents. As in A Clockwork Orange, published the previous year, Burgess uses a Russian backdrop as a way of exploring his long-standing preoccupations, including free will, the problems of cultural and linguistic mistranslation, and the difficulties arising from uninhibited sexual congress" (Burgess Foundation).
