He is then swept into World War II and somehow, somewhere, he loses his freedom—as a prisoner of war, through torture, undergoing captivity in total darkness. As he retraces his life, the narrative moves between England and a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany. He begins to realize what man can be and what he has gradually made of himself through his own choices. But have those accumulated choices also deprived him of his free will?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Lord of the Flies, William Golding wrote novels that further explored the complexities of human nature, not only social tendencies but the psychological underpinnings of human consciousness. This edition provides a Suggestions for Further Exploration section that identifies key themes throughout Golding’s novels—including Free Fall, first published in 1959—and connections to classic and contemporary fiction, nonfiction, film, and television.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"87\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"11\"\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e • Author: William Golding • Publisher: Penguin Classics • Format: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45557286633516,"sku":"9780143138808","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/71fdMq-u5yL._SL1500.jpg?v=1779295624","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/free-fall","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
