The Spire is a 1964 novel by English author William Golding. "A dark and powerful portrait of one man's will", it deals with the construction of a 404-foot-high spire loosely based on Salisbury Cathedral, the vision of the fictional Dean Jocelin. In the novel, Golding utilises stream-of-consciousness writing with an omniscient but increasingly fallible narrator to show Jocelin's demise as he chooses to follow his own will as opposed to the will of God.

  • Wieża (tytuł oryginału The Spire) – powieść Williama Goldinga z 1964 roku. Dziekan katedry w Salisbury, Jocelin, olśniony szlachetną wizją, postanawia wybudować wieżę, która sprzeczna jest z prawami fizyki i zdrowym rozsądkiem, bowiem nie stoi na wystarczających fundamentach i w każdej chwili grozi zawaleniem. Jocelin zawładnięty pragnieniem wzniesienia wieży, nie dostrzega, że jej groźny i wspaniały cień niszczy życie ludzi stojących obok. Jego wizja powoli przeradza się w manię i prowadzi do szaleństwa.
