Just as in Lord of the Flies William Golding worked out the deepest and most primitive human instincts in the behaviour of a party of boys abandoned on a coral island, so in Pincher Martin is Prometheus, chained to a rock. With exact symbolism and terrifying precision we are shown every level of the consciousness of intelligent man, as he pits his wits against thirst, hunger, cold, insanity and death. Whether his hopeless refuge is seen as a remote Atlantic rock of the lonely hallucination of a drowning man, the mind of Pincher Martin emerges with the elemental outlines of a statue by Epstein or Henry Moore. A gem among a bounty of stunning vintage books and classic novels on our online used bookstore.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39861051850839,"sku":"7861112","price":7.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/products\/orig_243419_jpg.jpg?v=1658930264","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/pincher-martin-by-william-golding-penguin1964","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
