76 reviewsThe first book of William Golding’s Sea Trilogy is a haunting account of an epic sea journey, which profoundly affects all those who set sail on it.
“It takes a special kind of genius to be able to recreate such convincing early 19th-century prose... A bravura display of writing skill.” - The Guardian
In the early 1800s, Edmund Talbot, a young and rather priggish Englishman, takes passage on a boat heading for Australia where he is to be an official in the colonial government. In addition to Talbot, many of the eccentric passengers - a sexually predatory sailor, an aging coquette, the ship’s tyrannical captain - undergo profound changes in the course of the voyage, during which a naive clergyman is victimised and, finally, pushed to take drastic action.
"William Golding had a fantastic imaginative ability that allowed him into humanity’s more unsavory byways; his vast reading aided a remarkable ear for language that let him hit the clear, perfect notes to express what he found there. In Rites of Passage he looped through the period’s floridly evasive literary style with such brio that the writing must have been play... his imagination was powerful and terrible and personal. It could belong to no one else and it made him a significant voice in twentieth-century literature." - Annie Proulx, LitHub
William Golding is considered by many to be the greatest English novelist of the last 50 years. He wrote 11 novels, the best-known being Lord of the Flies, The Spire and Rites of Passage, which won the 1980 Booker Prize. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, and was knighted in 1988.
