À propos des auteurs
William 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. Lord of the Flies, his first novel, was turned down 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 Rites 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

Hardback. Etat : New. Main. The remarkable literary collaboration between a Nobel Prizewinning novelist and his editor of more than forty years.Three people have been of major importance and influence in my life and you are one of them. There is a way in which I am as a writer at least partly your creation.-- William Golding to Charles MonteithIn 1953, William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies was rescued from a 'slush pile' of unsolicited manuscripts by Charles Monteith, a new young editor at the publishing house Faber and Faber. It went on to sell over 25 million copies. Over the next forty years Monteith worked closely with Golding on every one of his novels.These letters tell the story of their remarkable collaboration. They chart Golding's transformation from unknown middle-aged schoolmaster to knighted Nobel Prizewinner, and they tell the story of a deep and mutually rewarding friendship, as 'Dear Monteith' and 'Dear Golding' become 'Dear Charles' and 'Dear Bill'.In this beautifully produced, stitch-bound volume, Tim Kendall draws on both public and private archives to reveal the relationship between one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and his publisher, both men who considered themselves, for different reasons, to be outsiders. Their correspondence sheds fascinating light on both the mysteries of the writing process and the vagaries of the literary world.Generous, amusing, acerbic, intimate and often irreverent, these letters encompass gossip, reading recommendations and stories of Greek island adventures as well as detailed discussion of titles, characters and Golding's dreadful spelling.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Book in excellent unread/unused condition. Small amount of wear on cover. Pages unused. Hardcover. English. Pub Year 2025, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> William Golding: The Faber Letters compiles the correspondence between William Golding and his long-time editor, Charles Monteith. The book chronicles their collaboration from 1953, when Monteith rescued Golding's now-iconic novel, Lord of the Flies, from a stack of rejected manuscripts. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a relationship that would last forty years, during which Golding evolved from an obscure schoolmaster to a celebrated Nobel Prize laureate.The letters detail not just the professional partnership but also the profound friendship that developed over time, illustrated by the progression in their addresses?from ?Dear Monteith? and ?Dear Golding? to the more personal ?Dear Charles? and ?Dear Bill.? Through this intimate lens, readers gain insight into the influences and inspirations behind Golding?s work, highlighting the bonds formed through shared experiences and creative discourse.In addition to discussing literary projects, the correspondence includes elements of the men?s personal lives, offering a glimpse of their mutual interests in literature and their adventures, including escapades on Greek islands. Rich in humour and candidness, these letters reveal both the camaraderie and the challenges of the creative process, showcasing the interplay between a writer?s vision and an editor?s guidance. This collection is not only a testament to Golding's literary legacy but also an exploration of the often hidden dynamics within the world of publishing and authorship. Through Golding and Monteith's exchanges, readers are invited into the heart of a remarkable relationship that significantly shaped modern literature. (MP). N° de réf. du vendeur Batch-FM747-VG-14968
