About this Item

Vintage Penguin. #1988. Free Fall is one of William Goldingâ s most psychologically searching novels, told as the fragmented self-examination of Sammy Mountjoy, an artist trying to understand whenâ "and howâ "he lost his freedom of will. Moving between his impoverished childhood, his intense friendships, his love for Beatrice and the brutal experience of imprisonment during the war, Sammy pieces together the moments that shaped his moral collapse. At the centre is his relationship with the sadistic schoolmaster Nick Shales, whose influence haunts him long after childhood. In its Penguin edition, the novel stands out for its shifting structure, symbolic depth and Goldingâ s probing exploration of guilt, choice and the struggle to reclaim a sense of inner freedom.
