THE PYRAMID
Book ID/图书代码： 04560005B07992
English Summary/英文概要： Oliver is eighteen, and wants to enjoy himself before going to university. But this is the 1920s, and he lives in Stilbourne, a small English country town, where everyone knows what everyone else is getting up to, and where love, lust and rebellion are closely followed by revenge and embarrassment.
Written with great perception and subtlety, The Pyramid is Golding’s funniest and most light-hearted novel, which probes the painful awkwardness of the late teens, the tragedy and farce of life in a small community and the consoling power of music.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这部小说讲述了一个轻率、暴躁、个人意识开始觉醒的典型青少年的故事。它似乎是一部自传，但不仅仅如此。文章以第一人称叙述的方式，借一个名叫奥利弗的青年之口，用讽刺的口吻讲述了人生的残酷与悲剧。作者让音乐贯穿整部小说，喜剧与悲伤同时呈现在读者眼前。(Ruby)
Awards/获奖情况：’Golding depicts with subtle skill all the pains of growing up and growing old. He treats us to some superb comic episodes.’---Daily Telegraph
’Golding’s most approachable novel and a curiously personal one, that returns to the mind again and again as if the shames and idylls were one’s own.’---Guardian

Golding’s other novels include Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors, The Free Fall, Pincher Martin, The Double Tongue, and Rites of Passage, which won the Booker Prize.
威廉•戈尔丁（Willeam Gerald Golding）是一位英国小说家，诗人，1983年诺贝尔文学奖得主。
他的小说富含寓意，广泛地融入了古典文学，神话，基督教文化以及象征主义。其作品的主题一般是与黑暗邪恶有关，但他的小说中也表达一种昏暗的乐观主义。
他的第一本小说《蝇王》（1954年）突出了他一直不停探讨的主题：人类天生的野蛮与文明的理性的斗争。这部小说也奠定了他的世界声誉。
