Darkness Visible is a 1979 novel by British author Sir William Golding, who won both the 1980 Booker Prize and 1983 Nobel Prize for literature.
The novel narrates a struggle between good and evil, using naivety, sexuality and spirituality throughout. It marked Golding's re-emergence as a novelist, eight years after the publication of his previous novel, The Scorpion God.
Golding's later novels did not achieve the fame and success of his earlier novels, including Lord of the Flies, and his personal favourite, The Inheritors.
