Description: First American Edition. Black full cloth boards, silver spine titles, lt. shelf wear. Pages fine, no writing. Dj moderate edge wear, surface loss; unclipped 3.95, protected in new clear sleeve. Dean Jocelin has a vision that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. The masons anxiously advise against it, and things have happened around the cathedral which it is better not to question men too closely about. But, without foundations, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls darkly on the world below, and most darkly on the Dean himself. The Spire is an impressively powerful portrait of one man's possessed will, and of the towering folly he creates. 215 pages. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

First American edition stated. The vision that drives Dean Jocelin to construct an immense new spire above his cathedral tests the limits of all who surround him. The foundationless stone pillars shriek and the earth beneath them heaves under the structure's weight as the Dean's will weighs down his collapsing faith. A great novel from this Nobel Prize winner. As his Nobel Prize certificate stated, "for his novels which, with the perspicuity of realistic narrative art and the diversity and universality of myth, illuminate the human condition in the world of today".

Description: 8vo, black cloth with gilt spine lettering, cream endpapers, Mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket of man holding the model of a cathedral spire by Paul Bacon Studio, vi + 218 pages. William Golding (1911-1993) won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988, and was awarded the prestigeous Booker prize in 1980. The Nobel Foundation cited: "his novels which, with the perspicuity of realistic narrative art and the diversity and universality of myth, illuminate the human condition in the world of today." In another convincing blend of Goldingesque allegory-and-parable, The Spire explores the complex, ego-driven vision that animates Dean Jocelin to erect an immense new spire above his cathedral. The strains test the limits of everybody who surrounds him. All too soon, the stone pillars shriek as the earth beneath them heaves under the crushing weight. Very good condition internally and externally.

Description: The first US edition of this novel by notable author William Golding. The first US edition, first printing of this novel by William Golding, preceded by the Faber and Faber UK edition published in the same year.The author ofLord of the Flies proposes a dark portrait of a man's obsessed will, and an evocation of the very feel and texture of the building which the will created against God's wishes. Confirming his status as a great writer, The Spire is a highly imaginative and original story, utilising stream of consciousness with an increasingly unreliable narrator.William Golding was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983 and listed as one of the fifty greatest British writers since 1945 by The Times. He is best known for his novels Lord of the FliesandRites of Passage, for which he won the Booker Prize in 1980.With the price-clipped dust wrapper. In the original publisher's full cloth binding. Externally very smart with only minor shelf wear and a minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine and extremities. The dust wrapper is price clipped and sound with some shelf wear and minor chipping to the head of the spine and front wrap, only a faint sunning to the spine. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean. Very Good Indeed
