Description
The lieutenant of a torpedo bomber—Christopher Martin—makes titanic efforts to climb a sheer, inaccessible cliff and then, afterward, to survive on a bare scrap of land. In his mind, scenes from different periods of his life surface—wretched, vile, the kind of life that would better be called “survival.”
Golding said that his novel is a parable about a man who first lost everything he had so long strived for, and then—“by an act of free will—accepted his God’s challenge” and entered into rivalry with him.
“Such is the ordinary man: tortured and torturing others, waging a courageous battle against God alone.”
