Lord of the Flies, William Golding
William
Golding official site-
When William Golding
(1911-1993) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, the Nobel
Foundation cited:
"his novels which, with the
perspicuity of realistic narrative art and the diversity and
universality of myth, illuminate the human condition in the world of today".
Those novels are relatively few in number - twelve. Golding also wrote plays,
many essays and reviews, several short stories, some poems, and a travel book
about Egypt. He left at his death a journal of more than two million words. Many
of his attempts at other works survive in manuscript or typescript. He seems to
have known from childhood that he wanted to be a writer. His first published
work appeared when he was twenty-three.
