About the Author/作者介绍： 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。

Born in Cornwall, England, William Golding started writing at the age of seven. Though he studied natural sciences at Oxford to please his parents, he also studied English and published his first book, a collection of poems, before finishing college. He served in the Royal Navy during World War II, participating in the Normandy invasion. Golding’s other novels include Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors, The Spire, Rites of Passage (Booker Prize), and The Double Tongue.
