Download or read book The Spire written by William Golding and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Succumb to one churchman's apocalyptic vision in this prophetic tale by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord of the Flies, William Golding (recorded 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 spire's 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 it's more or less a sacred text.' Sarah Perry 'A kind of miracle ... Genius.' Guardian ' Quite simply, a marvel.' NYRB ' Superb ... A classic.' Rebecca West 'A master fabulist .. An iconoclast.' John Fowles 'A visionary ... His masterwork [of] faith, folly and desperate desire ... Golding at his best.' Benjamin Myers

Book excerpt: In the old market town of Chesterfield stood a magic cottage with an enchanted garden, here lived Wendela the good witch. Her medicines and potions had helped heal generations of locals; in nearly every home one of her good luck charms could be seen in a place of prominence.Then the corrupt, power hungry vicar, John Thorn comes to town and desires Wendela's land to build his church. When she refuses to give it up he sets out to destroy her, and convinces the townsfolk that she is evil and to blame for the Black Death that has killed half the population. Wendela is burned at the stake, but with her last breath she puts a curse on John Thorn and the land that he is now free to build his church upon.On the church opening day a bolt of lightning hits the spire making it crooked and twisted and sending souls to the dark side of the moon - instead of heaven - to be enslaved by moon wraiths. This continues for hundreds of years.One area of good magic remains, on the spot where Wendela's enchanted garden once grew. It's here in the present day that toys (used for a nursery and Sunday school) come to life. One is Todsy the mouse who learns of the curse and sets out to break it.'Spellbinding' - Derbyshire TimesFrom the author of If the Kids are Unitedwww.manutdbooks.com
