The stories are set usually in a place far from “the old world”: either on a wild island (like Lord of the Flies [1954]), or on a rock in the Atlantic (as in Pincher Martin [1956]), or in a primitive world (as is The Inheritors [1955]), or a medieval town (as is The Spire [1964]).

Golding is a very genuinely serious writer because he held a very strong pessimistic view towards human nature. He thinks that modern civilization, the institutions and order are fragile and temporary, and that man’s irrationality and innate evil are strong and enduring.
