Synopsis
A reissue of 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; that child, Matty, 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.

Review
A vision of elemental reality so vivid we seem to hallucinate the scenes . . . [Golding] emerges like Merlin the wizard to cast a new spell . . . Darkness Visible is magic. -The New York Times Book Review
A brilliantly spooky novel . . . Written with great insight and a surprising humor, it is a thorough pleasure to read. -The Atlantic Monthly
Darkness Visible, it must be said at once, restores a living force among us . . . An intensity of vision without parallel. -Frank Tuohy, The Times Literary Supplement
