A reissue of the tour de force by the Nobel laureate that is “a
vision of elemental reality so vivid we seem to hallucinate the
scenes” (The New York Times Book Review). It opens during the London
blitz, when a naked child steps out of an all-consuming fire; that
child, Matty, becomes a wanderer and a seeker. Two more lost children
await him, twins as exquisite as they are loveless. In a final
conflagration, William Golding’s book lights up both the inner and
outer darknesses of our time.
