«The Spire» is the literary novel by William Golding, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (223 pages, in English).
Dean Jocelin believes he has received a divine mandate: to crown his cathedral with an immense spire. The master builder warns that the building has no foundations, but the tower rises while the pillars strain and the ground trembles. The shadow of the spire darkens the dean's faith, in a portrait of obsession and its consequences.
Originally published in 1964, this edition dates from 1974 and belongs to the Faber paper covered editions collection.
