William Golding, the famous English writer praised for his iconic work " Lord of the Flies ," left an indelible mark on the world of literature. He was born on September 19, 1911, in St. Columb Minor, Cornwall, England, and departed this world on June 19, 1993, in Perranarworthal, Cornwall.
Golding's academic journey led him to Oxford University, where he initially embarked on the path of natural sciences. However, the siren call of literature beckoned, and he transitioned to the study of English literature. Yet, the tumultuous backdrop of World War II enhanced his educational pursuits as he joined the Royal Navy during this period.
