About This Item
Farrar Straus Giroux, NY , 1979. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. "[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... [and] 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." [Pub. Info] There is a protective mylar cover. 1ST US EDITION.
