William Golding (1911–1993) was a British novelist celebrated for his allegorical works exploring the darkness of human nature. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983, his most enduring contribution is 'Lord of the Flies,' a stark examination of societal collapse and primal instinct when civilization is stripped away.
