The Spire : Introduced by Benjamin Myers Paperback Book
“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
Succumb to a churchmans apocalyptic vision in this prophetic tale by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord of the Flies, introduced by Benjamin Myers (narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch as an audiobook).There were three sorts of people. Those who ran, those who stayed, and those who were built in.Dean Jocelin has a vision that God has chosen him to erect a great spire. His master builder fearfully advises against it, for the old cathedral was miraculously built without foundations. But Jocelin is obsessed with fashioning his prayer in stone. As his halo of hair grows wilder and his dark angel darker, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, watched over by the gargoyles until the stone pillars shriek, the earth beneath creeps, and the spires shadow falls like an axe on the medieval world below ...Astounding ... So recklessly beautiful, so sad and so strange ... Holds such a place in my soul that its more or less a sacred text. Sarah PerryA kind of miracle ... Genius. GuardianA visionary ... Golding at his best. Benjamin MyersQuite simply, a marvel. NYRBA superb tragedy ... A classic. Rebecca WestA master fabulist .. An iconoclast. John Fowles
