Sinossi
William Golding was born in 1911 and educated at his local grammar school and Brasenose College, Oxford. He published a volume of poems in 1934 and during the war served in the Royal Navy. Afterwards he returned to being a schoolmaster in Salisbury. Lord of the Flies, his first novel, was an immediate success, and was followed by a series of remarkable novels, including The Inheritors, Pincher Martin and The Spire. He won the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, and was knighted in 1988. He died in 1993.

Recensione
'Golding deserves rediscovery, and if he gets it, then this biography -- sympathetic without being idolatrous, detailed without becoming boring, learned, witty, insightful and humane: a model of its kind -- will be in a large measure responsible.' --Robert Harris, Sunday Times
'Superb biography ... in Carey [Golding] has found a biographer who is wonderfully alive both to his strangeness as a man and to the desperate brilliance of his fiction.' --Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, Daily Telegraph
'A dignified, scholarly life, which convincingly claims Golding as one of the 20th-century s great writers ... there is much fascinating material here ... [Carey's] life of Golding should ensure that we go back to the books.' --Ian Thomson, Irish Times
