In "Free Fall," Sammy Mountjoy transitions from a life of poverty to acclaim as a visual artist, only to become a prisoner of war during World War II, where he grapples with the loss of freedom in the darkness of captivity. As he reflects on his life, the narrative shifts between England and a German POW camp, prompting him to confront the implications of his choices and explore the essence of free will. This edition includes a Suggestions for Further Exploration section that highlights key themes from Golding’s works and their connections to various forms of literature and media.
