Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression.

Golding's novel follows the introspective journey of Samuel Mountjoy, who reflects on his life from poverty-stricken childhood to successful adulthood, while grappling with existential questions and the loss of his innocence. The work is framed around Mountjoy's captivity as a POW in World War II.
