This volume brings together three short novels by William Golding, where the author uses the reconstruction of the past to present fables with a strong symbolic and moral charge. In the first two stories, 'The Scorpion God' and 'Clonc-clonc', the contrast between conventional moral norms and human nature, which is both unmodifiable and ambiguous, is explored. In 'The Special Envoy', the social valuation of technical innovation and its vulnerability to the corrosion of time is analyzed. This edition belongs to the collection 'El libro de bolsillo - Bibliotecas de autor - Biblioteca Golding'.
