Synopsis

One of Golding’s bleakest novels, this existentialist story is about the sole survivor of a shipwreck in the North Atlantic. Having been washed up on a rocky outcrop with no other land in sight and having no form of sustenance the man soon becomes deranged and the ending quickly becomes more and more inevitable.
