With an introduction by Robert McCrum The first volume of William Golding''s Sea Trilogy. Sailing to Australia in the early years of the nineteenth century, Edmund Talbot keeps a journal to amuse his godfather back in England. Full of wit and disdain, he records the mounting tensions on the ancient, sinking warship where officers, sailors, soldiers and emigrants jostle in the cramped spaces below decks.

''The work of a master at the full stretch of his age and wisdom - necessary, provoking, urgent, rich, complex and rare.'' The Times ''An extraordinary novel.'' Observer ''Golding''s best and most accessible story since Lord of the Flies .'' Melvyn Bragg Less
