Lord of the Flies

A plane crashes on a tropical island. The survivors, young students from England, soon find that the island is uninhabited. There are no adults anywhere. They organize themselves, get a leader and rules to survive until they come to save them.

At first, it seems like a dream adventure. But the games of the day are succeeded by the nightmares of the night. Some begin to believe that a beast is haunting the island. Little by little, fear and violence disintegrate their small society, the boys rush without return to brutality...

The book that made William Golding world famous is now considered a classic, one of the greatest works of modern literature. And it continues to move millions of readers around the world, with its simple, compelling fable about the end of innocence and the deep, primordial darkness that always lurks behind our civilized selves.

"His works, with the clarity of the art of realistic storytelling and the diversity and universality of myth, illuminate the human condition in today's world."
From the Swedish Academy's rationale for awarding William Golding the 1983 Nobel Prize.
