Sir William Golding

Sequel to the Man Booker Prize-winning Rites of Passage

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.

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.
