Text edges dyed red. Nobel Prize winner, Sir William Gerald Golding (1911 - 1993), English novelist, playwright, and poet, is best known for his first novel, Lord of the Flies (1954). The Inheritors (1955) is his second novel, and said to be his personal favorite. On the beginning of mankind. Story of the demise of the last remaining Neanderthals at the hands of the more advanced, sophisticated (and malevolent) Homo sapiens.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition.

First edition of Golding's second novel, published after the great success of Lord of the Flies the previous year. This copy with contemporary ownership name and date of author Anthony Price to the front free endpaper. Price was the author of numerous thrillers, published in the 1970s and 80s with a focus on espionage.  Golding began work on The Inheritors just a few weeks after Lord of the Flies, and, like his previous work, it began life as a series of notes in a Bishop Wordsworth School notebook - where he was, at the time, teaching English and Religious Education. Golding was keen to preserve similar themes of savagery and the breakdown of civilisation, with the plot this time focusing on a band of Neanderthals, and their interactions with (and fascination by) a group of early humans who have mastered the skills of fire-making, ship-building, and weaponry.  Golding himself considered the novel to be his finest, and it remained his firm favourite throughout his life. In an article for The Guardian published in 2015, the author's daughter Judy writes that "The genius of the book is to take familiar things ? the family, the forest, the fascination with and horror of water ? and make us see these through the eyes and mind of someone who cannot think like us." She goes on "he produces a description which at first reads like a lyrical evocation of a beautiful landscape with caverns and light, and many subtle changes?.Every reader should have the chance to read this fresh ? there should be no spoiling. But I defy anyone to read it unmoved." Unusual in both the bright jacket and wraparound. .
