A plane crashes on a tropical island. The survivors, small students from England, soon realize that the island is uninhabited. There are no adults anywhere. They organize themselves, appoint a leader, and establish rules to survive until they are rescued.
In the beginning, it seems like a dream adventure. But the games of the day are followed by the nightmares of the night. Some begin to believe that a beast haunts the island. Gradually, fear and violence dismantle their small society, and the boys rush headlong into barbarism...
The book that bestowed worldwide fame upon William Golding is now considered a classic, one of the greatest works of modern literature. It continues to resonate with millions of readers around the world with its simple, irresistible myth about the end of innocence and the deep, primeval darkness that always lurks behind our civilized selves.
“His works, with the clarity of the art of realistic narrative and the diversity and universality of the myth, illuminate the human condition in today’s world.” From the reasoning of the Swedish Academy for awarding William Golding the Nobel Prize in 1983.
