Golding's Darkness Visible is a gripping, dark, and atmospheric novel that tells the story of a group of adolescent boys who are sent to a remote, partially-completed boys' boarding school by their father. The school is a dark, brooding, and dangerous place, and the boys quickly discover that it is also a place where the rules of society do not apply. The novel explores the themes of power, control, and the fear of the unknown.; 8vo; 265 pages.
