A MOVING TARGET
Book ID/图书代码: 04560007B18994
English Summary/英文概要: Golding’s second collection of essays includes his Nobel lecture, in which he --conscious that he had for a unique moment a special audience - used the opportunity to plead for humanity to see the beauty and wonder of life on earth, and to save it. The collection also contains his two essays on Ancient Egypt and its legacy. In "Belief and Creativity", he gives a profound insight into theory and practice as a writer. He writes also of his "Affection for Cathedrals", his fascination with journals and diaries, his unexpected journeys. In his essay "A Moving Target", he tackles a subject which vexed him, and which eventually had a role in his novel The Paper Men: the connection -- and the conflict -- between the role of the critic and that of the writer.
