Golding, WilliamJames MarlonEinleitung

William Golding (1911 - 1993) was born in Cornwall and educated at Marlborough Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford. Before becoming a writer, he was an actor, small-boat sailor, musician and schoolteacher. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy and took part in the D-Day operation and liberation of Holland. Lord of the Flies, his first novel, was rejected by several publishers but rescued from the 'reject pile' at Faber and published in 1954. It became a modern classic selling millions of copies, translated into 44 languages and made into a film by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding wrote eleven other novels, a play and two essay collections. He won the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage in 1980 and the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988 and died in 1993. www.william-golding.co.ukMarlon James was born in Jamaica in 1970. He is the author of numerous award-winning novels, and A Brief History of Seven Killings won the 2015 Man Booker Prize. His most recent novel is the New York Times-bestseller Black Leopard, Red Wolf, which was a finalist for the National Book Award for fiction and National Book Critics Circle Award, among other accolades.
