The Inheritors
Author: William Golding
Golding is best known for Lord of the Flies. In that novel boys beyond the reach of civilization's sanctions revert to savagery. In this, the "inheritors," who take on the civilization's attributes, cling brutally to savage traits. Golding has got his target boxed in, but it remains to be decided at just what point human nature is ideal.

Hardly one of my favorite authors, I somehow get drawn masochistically to his novels. This real piece of work is about evolution of man in the stone age. I found his geographic descriptions extremely difficult to follow, not to mention the absurd story line. But that's me. Will I ever learn to leave this dude to the sophists?
