11th Impression · 1971 · Faber Paper Covered Edition · Hardbound
An enduring edition of Golding’s modern masterpiece, issued in 1971 as part of Faber’s hardbound “Paper Covered” series with the original dust jacket illustration printed directly on laminated boards. This vivid, wraparound design by Anthony Gross has become nearly as iconic as the novel itself.
Formerly a library copy, this edition carries signs of past readers: stamps, expected wear, and a bit of history in every page turn. But it remains complete, tightly bound, and fully readable; a durable survivor of decades, much like Ralph himself.
“Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”
A powerful piece of 20th-century literature, in a format made to last.
Pictorial boards bright, with moderate edgewear
Library stamps present
Pages clean; binding firm
No dust jacket (as issued)
