Review

The emotional veracity of life at sea powers Golding's exceptional writing ... The fury, mystery and challenge of life on board. ... It is in Golding's magnificent, therapeutic, terrifying descriptions of seascapes that the deepest meanings can be found. -- Kate Mosse

No living writer has represented the fragility of man's experience so marvellously as Golding.
-- AS Byatt

Reeks and resounds with authenticity ... The epic imaginative enterprise [is] as formidable a feat as the year-long odyssey it charts. - Sunday Times

Golding writes the past as present [with] uncanny skill and tremendous intuition. -- Ben Okri

Laden to the waterline with a rich cargo of practicalities and poetry, pain and hilarity, drama and exaltation. -- Times

Golding's best and most accessible story since Lord of the Flies. -- Melvyn Bragg

A feat of imaginative reconstruction, as vivid as a dream. - Daily Mail

A truly noble achievement. -- Patrick O'Brien

About the Author

William Golding (1911 - 1993) was born in Cornwall and educated at Marlborough Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford. Before becoming a writer, he was an actor, small-boat sailor, musician and schoolteacher. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy and took part in the D-Day operation and liberation of Holland. Lord of the Flies, his first novel, was rejected by several publishers but rescued from the 'reject pile' at Faber and published in 1954. It became a modern classic selling millions of copies, translated into 44 languages and made into a film by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding wrote eleven other novels, a play and two essay collections. He won the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988 and died in 1993. www.william-golding.co.uk
