Nigel Williams Libros

1st paperback edition of "Witchfinder General" available, in fine condition and ready to ship from our UK warehouse.

Una treintena de muchachos son los únicos supervivientes de un naufragio en el que perecen todos los adultos. Enseguida se plantea cómo sobrevivir en tales condiciones, y no tardan en crearse dos grupos con sus respectivos líderes. Ralph se convierte en el cabecilla de quienes están dispuestos a construir refugios y a recolectar, mientras que Jack se convierte en el jefe de los cazadores, animados por un espíritu más aventurero. Las tensiones entre ambos bandos desembocan en un enfrentamiento que se resuelve en un baño de sangre. Partiendo de este esquema, el Premio Nobel William Golding crea una fábula moral sobre el lado más oscuro de la naturaleza humana. Una novela deslumbrante en la que se ha visto desde una requisitoria moral contra la educación represiva hasta una parábola acerca de los instintos básicos del ser humano. El señor de las moscas es un nombre para el mal en la cultura judía, y este es uno de los temas principales de la novela, junto con la contraposición entre civilización y barbarie y la validez de la disciplina, entre otros muchos.

A welcome re-issue of Nigel William's modern classic of comic writing.

Nigel Williams, one of the UK's finest comic writers, returns with a poignant comic portrait of four marriages: a caustic satire of suburban intrigue, tainted love and late-flowering lust.

14-year-old ufologist Simon Britton's father has just died and his mother, a member of the First Church of Christ the Spiritualist, is trying to get in touch with him. But some weird messages come through instead. By the author of My Life Closed Twice which won the Somerset Maugham Award.

From Nigel Williams, acclaimed master comic genius of suburbia and author of the much-loved Wimbledon Poisoner: R.I.P. is a sublime comedy told from beyond the grave.

Hugh Laurie, known for his role as Dr. House, plays Paul Slippery in the film adaptation of this novel. Slippery, much like Dr. House, is a lovable curmudgeon nearing fifty, grappling with his growing waistline and enviously observing his sons' active love lives. Nigel Williams delivers a brilliant piece of British humor.

Robert Wilson is an aimless young man who has passed himself off as a Muslim to secure a job at the newly established Wimbledon Independent Islamic Boys' Day School. This is the story of his decline and fall, as he demonstrates the failure of a post-colonial Briton to understand another culture that has absolutely no need of him.
