William Golding
N ovelista y premio Nobel británico. Nacido en St Columb Minor, en Cornwall, estudió en la Universidad de Oxford, donde posteriormente impartió seminarios de lengua inglesa. Durante algunos años trabajó en el teatro, como actor y como autor, aunque prefirió dedicarse a la enseñanza. Así, fue maestro de escuela hasta que se alistó en la Marina durante la II Guerra Mundial. Terminada la guerra, comenzó a escribir de nuevo. Su primera novela, El señor de las moscas (1954), cuya versión cinematográfica dirigió Peter Brook en 1963, tuvo un enorme éxito, y ha sido considerada como una de las obras más importantes de la literatura del siglo XX. Se trata de una alegoría de la innata crueldad del ser humano, basada en las experiencias del propio autor durante la guerra. En ella se cuenta la historia de un grupo de escolares que, como consecuencia de un accidente de aviación, han de vivir en una isla desierta. En ella se describe su paso gradual de un estado de relativa inocencia a otro que roza la barbarie. A ésta le siguieron otras novelas en las que el autor trataba temas similares, siempre relacionados con el bien y el mal que habitan en el interior de los seres humanos: Los herederos (1955) y Martín el náufrago (1959) entre ellas. Muchos de los textos de Golding exploran los dilemas morales y las reacciones de las personas cuando son sometidas a situaciones extremas. Su trilogía

William Golding (1911-1993) Golding was born in St. Columb Minor in Cornall, England on September 19, 1911, to Alec A. and Mildred Golding. After being educated at Marlborough Grammar School where his father was a teacher, he studied the sciences for two years at Brasenose College, Oxford until abandoning science in favor of English language and literature, particularly that of the Anglo-Saxon period. After graduating Oxford in 1935 he worked in a London settlement house and devoted his spare time to writing and acting in "very, very far-off-Broadway theater." In 1939 he began teaching philosophy and English at Bishop Wordsworth's School in Salisbury. At the onset of World War II he joined the Royal Navy at the age of 29 and was involved in several major conflicts including the sinking of the German battleship Bismark and, during the invasion of France in 1944, commanded a rocket-launching craft. At the close of the war he resumed teaching in Salisbury until 1961.

English novelist who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983. The choice was unexpected, because the internationally famous novelist Graham Greene (1904-1991) was considered the strongest candidate from the English writers. In many works Golding has revealed the dark places of human heart, when isolated individuals or small groups are pushed into extreme situations. His work is characterized by exploration of 'the darkness of man's heart', deep spiritual and ethical questions. "Twenty-five years ago I accepted the label 'pessimist' thoughtlessly without realising that it was going to be tied to my tail, as it were, in something the way that, to take an example from another art, Rachmaninoff's famous Prelude in C sharp minor was tied to him. No audience would allow him off the concert platform until he played it. Similarly critics have dug into my books until they could come up with something that looked hopeless. I can't think why. I don't feel hopeless myself."

Universal Pessimist, Cosmic Optimist
Interview by Mary Lynn Scott B ritish novelist William Golding, winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize for Literature, is best known for his first novel, Lord of the Flies , which has sold over seven million copies in the United States alone and has been translated into more than fourteen languages. The Paper Men Aurora: Although your first novel, Lord of the Flies, was not published until you were forty-three years old, you have written a total of ten novels as well as other works, including two books of essays, a play, and a travel journal of a trip you made through Egypt. How long have you actually been writing, and how much discipline do you impose upon yourself when working on a novel? Golding: Aurora: The Ladder and the Tree Golding: Yes, my father was very musical, and music plays quite a large part in my life. I play the piano passionately and inaccurately. Indeed, I worked out the other day that of my seventy-five years; I have spent at least one year sitting on a piano stool. Aurora: Who are your favourite composers?

Lately
The Nobel Prize for Literature
Posted 2002-01-01 Are the citations written for winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature becoming more and more incomprehensible? The Swedish Academy started out more or less on the right track with an award to Sully Prudhomme "in special recognition of his poetic composition, which gives evidence of lofty idealism, artistic perfection and a rare combination of the qualities of both heart and intellect." A little ornate perhaps, but this is the Nobel Prize"because he wrote a bitchin' book" wouldn't cut it, to be sure. In 1923 W.B. Yeats got the prize "for his always inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation." By this time the citations had grown more grand, but they're still very much comprehensible. And there are still straight-forward citations too: Sigrid Undset won in 1928 "principally for her powerful descriptions of Northern life during the Middle Ages"; Pearl Buck won in 1938 "for her rich and truly epic descriptions of peasant life in China and for her biographical masterpieces." By 1960 the citation's sentence structure has increased significantly in complexity: in that year Saint-John Perse won for "the soaring flight and the evocative imagery of his poetry which in a visionary fashion reflects the conditions of our time." Easy enough to follow, I suppose, but I can't imagine the mostly unnecessary "in a visionary fashion" popping up in such a fashion during the prize's first few decades. I wonder, too, if battles were fought over the inclusion of "soaring flight." It's a little ... poetic, don't you think?
