Скачать или смотреть William Golding's 'The Spire — AB+C 134

In our final episode of 2025, we discussed William Golding's 1964 novel 'The Spire', a deeply psychological portrayal of the construction of a cathedral spire in the 14th century, heavily influenced by the real life spire of Salisbury Cathedral. One of the great architectural novels, this episode contains extensive spoilers, so we recommend reading it or listening to the audiobook before you listen to this episode!

We will be discussing Ken Follett's deeply flawed novelisation of a similar theme, 'The Pillars of the Earth' on the next Patreon bonus. If you would like to support the show and get access to all our bonus content, please consider subscribing to our Patreon feed:   / about_buildings
