The Spire
By William Golding
Published by Faber and Faber, London, 1964. First Edition. Hardback book with an unclipped dust jkacket, 223 pages.
A very good first edition. The dust jacket is very good with no tears and the original price remains intact. The boards and spine are very good. Endpapers very good and inner joints sound with no cracking. All contents present and pages very clean throughout. No writing or names to the book. Overall a very good first edition.
The Spire is a 1964 novel by English author William Golding. "A dark and powerful portrait of one man's will", it deals with the construction of a 404-foot-high spire loosely based on Salisbury Cathedral, the vision of the fictional Dean Jocelin. In the novel, Golding utilises stream-of-consciousness writing with an omniscient but increasingly fallible narrator to show Jocelin's demise as he chooses to follow his own will as opposed to the will of God.
