Product Description
by William Golding (Author)
The final book in a classic series that began with the Man Booker Prize-winning Rites of Passage
An instant maritime classic, and one of Golding's finest achievements, the trilogy was adapted into a major BBC/PBS Masterpiece miniseries staring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jared Harris and Sam Neill. To the Ends of the Earth, William Golding's great sea trilogy, presents the extraordinary story of a warship's troubled journey to Australia in the early 1800s. Told through the pages of Edmund Talbot's journal--with equal measure of wit and disdain--it records the mounting tensions and growing misfortunes aboard the ancient ship. To the Ends of the Earth:1. Rites of Passage
2. Close Quarters
3. Fire Down Below
