And round him, in the small huddle of houses by a minimal river that is Stillbourne, are woven the complicated, recurring yet never identical patterns of existence; patterns compounded of sex and calf love, rebellion and submission, dottiness, class distinction, tragedy and near-farce." "Sir William Gerald Golding CBE (19 September 1911 – 19 June 1993) was a British novelist, playwright, and poet. Best known for his novel Lord of the Flies, he won a Nobel Prize in Literature, and was also awarded the Booker Prize for literature in 1980 for his novel Rites of Passage, the first book in what became his sea trilogy, To the Ends of the Earth. Golding was knighted by Elizabeth II in 1988. He was a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In 2008, The Times ranked Golding third on their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945." (from Wikipedia) .
