But this is the 1920s and he lives in Stilbourne, a small English country town where everyone knows what everyone else is getting up to, and where love, lust and rebellion are closely followed by revenge and embarrassment.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Book Description      \u003cbr\u003e\nThe Pyramid by William Golding - the winner of the Nobel Prize for literature and author of Lord of the Flies - is a light-hearted novel probing the painful awkwardness of the late teens, the tragedy and farce of life in a small community and the consoling power of music.\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nWilliam Golding (1911 - 1993) was born in Cornwall and educated at Marlborough Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford. Before becoming a writer, he was an actor, small-boat sailor, musician and schoolteacher. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy and took part in the D-Day operation and liberation of Holland.\u003cbr\u003e\nLord of the Flies, his first novel, was rejected by several publishers but rescued from the 'reject pile' at Faber and published in 1954. It became a modern classic selling millions of copies, translated into 44 languages and made into a film by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding wrote eleven other novels, a play and two essay collections. He won the Booker Prize for\u003cbr\u003e\nRites of Passage in 1980 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988 and died in 1993. www.william-golding.co.uk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 8601410514570\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 4.9 x 0.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50249362571568,"sku":"Trans_9780571298525","price":563.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81ECrYSIIML.jpg?v=1761558041","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-pyramid-with-an-introduction-by-penelope-lively","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
