To drink, there is a pool of rainwater; to eat, there are weeds and sea anemones. Through the long hours with only himself to talk to, Martin must try to assemble the truth of his fate, piece by terrible piece.\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 Pincher Martin, first published in 1956—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":45557286666284,"sku":"9780143138792","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/9780143138792.jpg?v=1779292882","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/pincher-martin","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
