The Scorpion God: With an introduction by Craig Raine Main edition
William Golding
The three short novels in this collection, The Scorpion God, show Golding at his playful, ironic and mysterious best. And 'Envoy Extraordinary' is a tale of Imperial Rome where the emperor loves his illegitimate grandson more than his own arrogant, loutish heir.
