摘要：William Gerald Golding, the Nobel Laureate of the year 1983, wrote novels in the Post-World war II period. His war experiences taught him '---- not fighting, politics or the follies of nationalism, but about the given nature of man.'3The war shattered his faith in humanity. He was shocked to see cruelties and atrocities committed by elites. He saw morality disappearing from the social life Golding thought it is the duty of writer to make people understand their own self. He became introvert. His Free Fall appeared in 1959 and the Spire in 1964.
