Introduced by Annie Proulx, lose yourself in an epic naval journey
in this Booker Prize-winning historical novel: the first in the
acclaimed Sea Trilogy by the author of Lord of the Flies. I grow a
little crazy, I think, like all men at sea who live too close to
each other and too close thereby to all that is monstrous under the
sun and moon . . . Edmund Talbot is sailing to Australia in the
early nineteenth century. In his journal, he records mounting
tensions aboard the ancient, stinking warship, as officers,
sailors, soldiers and emigrants jostle in the cramped darkness
below decks. But when something happens to Reverend Colley that
brings him into a 'hell of self-degradation', it seems that shame
is a force deadlier than the sea itself . . . 'It is the emotional
veracity of life at sea that powers Golding's exceptional writing
... The fury, mystery and challenge.' Kate Mosse 'Golding writes
the past as present [with] uncanny skill and tremendous intuition.'
Ben Okri 'A master at the full stretch of his age and wisdom -
necessary, provoking, urgent, rich, complex and rare.' The Times
'Golding's best and most accessible story since Lord of the Flies.'
Melvyn Bragg 'An extraordinary novel.' Observer 'A truly noble
achievement'. Patrick O'Brien To The Ends of the Earth: A Sea
Trilogy - Book One
