The illness made him famous.

The fate of the famous writer Anthony Burgess could be the basis for an exciting scenario. Life did not spare the eminent Englishman, but sometimes presented him with the most unexpected surprises.

Burgess was born into a Catholic English family. When he was only two years old, his mother died. The boy was raised by his aunt. Before World War II, Anthony was in the army, where he showed his hooligan character. The writer received the rank of orderly in the medical corps, but he really did not like the service. Burgess ripped the caps off the bosses, rubbed the floors so that people slipped.

While Anthony served, his wife experienced a terrible thing – she was abused by four deserters from the United States. Burgess tried to do everything to bring his wife back to life, but she could not bear the grief and died. A few years later, Anthony was diagnosed with a fatal brain tumor. He was given a short term, that is, he was supposed to die at the age of 40. However, Burgess lived right up to 76, and in perfect health.

The writer was healed by creativity. Anthony set to work on the book “A Clockwork Orange”, where he poured out all his experiences. In the process of writing, Burgess, unexpectedly for himself and the doctors, was completely cured. And his novel has gained cult status. The legendary Stanley Kubrick made a scandalous adaptation that shocks to this day.
