"Dark Revealed" is Golding's important masterpiece and won the James Tait Black Memorial Award, Britain's oldest and most prestigious literary award. This is a dark book illuminated by fire. The struggle between good and evil that continues from "Lord of the Flies" is placed in a modern context by the author, which is also mixed with religious fanaticism, terrorism, abnormal psychology and sexual behavior, and desperate attempts to escape from the world. Under the author's calm writing style, various characters move toward their own destined destinations, while also considering people's beliefs about themselves and the world. The novel profoundly reveals that the "darkness" of human nature not only exists deep in people's hearts, but also exists in the external modern world: "You have nowhere to escape."
Reader comments
The writing style of this book is very unique, the writing is concise and powerful, making people feel like they are in the world of the book. Golding's portrayal of human nature is really penetrating and reminds me of "Lord of the Flies". Like "Lord of the Flies", this book also reveals the dark side of human nature, but it is more relevant to modern society and makes people think deeply. I think this book is worth reading, it will give you a new understanding of the world.
