7/5/2023 0 Comments The inheritors golding novel![]() The general story is just rather…lackluster. ![]() ![]() There are some really interesting and good points in the story, but for the most part, it is quite forgettable. The primitive men live a culture of togetherness and unity, which is really emulated well in the story telling, and you can really feel the loss as the characters start to disappear and succumb to modern man one by one. It’s quite an interesting concept, especially when you see how well Golding tries to emulate the culture of primitive man, who is essentially the collective main character of the story. The book is the story of when primitive man and modern man encountered each other for the first time in prehistory, marking the end of one civilization and the beginning of a new one. (Might as well be honest from the start.) I was, sad to say, rather disappointed by it. I was excited to read another William Golding, and had been told about this novel by some university professor or other. ![]()
