Chronicle During Books The Inheritors

When the spring came the people - what was left of them - moved back by the old paths from the sea. But this year strange things were happening, terrifying things that had never happened before. Inexplicable sounds and smells; new, unimaginable creatures half glimpsed through the leaves. What the people didn't, and perhaps never would, know, was that the day of their people was already over.

From the author of Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors is a startling recreation of the lost world of the Neanderthals, and a frightening vision of the beginning of a new age.

Judge About Books The Inheritors

I am in awe of this book, Golding's craft, and his work in general (I have also read "Lord of the Flies" and "Darkness Visible"). The writing itself, whatever one thinks of the plot, is transcendent. I am impressed by what must have been prodigious research on Goldings part to gain insight in the world of the Neanderthals, about whose specific reality modern man can only speculate. Whatever the Neanderthals lacked in intellectual capability, they more than made up for in their ability to use

The Inheritors is a rare attempt to portray the human race from the outside looking in: told from the point of view of a group of Neanderthals having their first, fatal, encounter with this new and dangerously clever species.As a palaeontological study this book may not be strictly accurate or even fully convincing, but as a prose experiment it's frankly astonishing and exactly the sort of thing top-level novelists should be trying to do. The efforts to give us a sense of how life was lived for

This might sound silly, but this small book of simple language confounded me. The story is told, not just by a Neanderthal, but by the dumbest Neanderthal in the book. His struggle to comprehend the changing world around him and to pin down the advanced technology of modern humans with concepts he could understand made parts of this story completely baffling. He sees boats as logs and paddles as leaves and representations of things as the real things they represent. It's a testament to Golding's

Okay, the first couple of chapters are rough, but I'd encourage you to stick it out. Imagine how difficult it must have been to write in a balance of modern English and presumed Neanderthal utterances. The dialogue is appropriate but even some of the narration must include "utterances." For instance, "picture" here has several meanings memory, thought, idea, plan, etc. but whether a character says "I have many pictures" or the text "Mal had many pictures," it's this subtlety of Golding's

Reading this I have a sense of journeying into the author's interior life, in a steamboat, chugging upstream. The jungle closes in around us and fog descends on the water. Cut the engine. This is the Heart of Darkness. The author's cry is short: the horror, the horror.Golding was working as a teacher when he wrote Lord of the Flies and this is his second novel, which deals with a group of Neanderthals encountering a group of the more sophisticated Cro-Magnons. Working as teacher and dealing with

This book has been one of my favourites since the first time I read it, at school, many years ago.It is set in the distant past at a time when Neanderthal man is disappearing and a new stronger, more intelligent type of man - our ancestor - is spreading his grip across the land.We follow a small family group of Neanderthal man as they live out their peaceful lives. They are upset by the change in climate, the new arrivals and the bad omens from their God. Their environment is changing and they

Tough read especially early on. There were times when I thought quitting would save me from some stress, but I read a few reviews, got my bearings and remembered why I wanted to read this in the first place. Ill spare the synopses, Im sure youve read them all before.Give this one room to breathe. Take your time. Theres some hidden beauty here, buried in the density of the prose. Be careful to reread when you have the instinct to as well. I found I could have easily missed some critical plot
