William Golding

William Golding (1911–1993) was a British novelist and Nobel laureate who spent years as a schoolteacher before World War II revealed to him the true nature of humanity. His wartime service in the Royal Navy, including participation in the D-Day landings, shattered any illusions about human goodness and gave him the vision that would define his work.
