Visible Darkness

In Visible Darkness, Golding brings the ancient struggle between good and evil to a universe where terrorism, sexuality and saintly purity are intertwined in the modern age. In this unique novel, which has taken its place among the masterpieces of 20th century English literature, reality and illusion frequently change places. In the work's completely empty and meaningless world, where there is nothing left to live for, the darkness of human nature takes on various guises.

Who really is Matty, who survived a terrible fire when the United Kingdom was bombed by Germany during World War II? Is he a being born from the flames, searching for his identity, suffering from a psychotic disorder; or is he a saint? The spiritually wounded twins Sophy and Toni, whose transition from childhood to adulthood is followed by their choices in life, lead them to another fire. Golding's characters, placed in the overwhelming and ominous environment of this world on the brink of collapse, are caught up in a hurricane of cruelty, terror and mystery. With the destructive rage inside them, they destroy both each other and themselves.
