William Golding was a British novelist and poet, awarded with the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, known especially for his work The Lord of the Flies.
Golding begins his military service at HMS Galatea in the North Atlantic and as a sailor participates in the famous pursuit and destruction of the German battleship Bismarck, but is later transferred to Liverpool for ground surveillance tasks. In 1943 he asked to return to the sea and was part of the naval support during the Normandy landings. Once the war ended, he returned to his classes, leaving the Royal Navy definitively with the birth of his second and last daughter, Judith Diana. The five years he spent in the Royal Navy during the war caused him an enormous impact, exposing him to the incredible barbarity and cruelty that humanity is capable of. Rejecting his father's rationalist optimism about human development, he convinced himself of the intrinsic evil of the human being.
