WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY IAN RANKIN'In a class by himself...the ultimate chronicler of twentieth-century man's consciousness and anxiety' William GoldingIn a small continental country civil war is raging.

Once a lecturer in medieval French, now a government agent, D is a scarred stranger in England, sent on a mission to buy coal at any price.
