«El señor de las moscas» is the novel by William Golding, published by Alianza in paperback (249 pages, in Spanish).
Around thirty British schoolboys, the only survivors of a plane crash, are left isolated on a desert island. Between the need to organise and the fear of the unknown, rival leaderships emerge; the suppression of learned norms allows violence to surface. A moral fable about the human condition, barbarism and the limits of civilisation.
Translation by Carmen Vergara. The original title of the work is Lord of the Flies, first published in 1954. It belongs to the El libro de bolsillo collection of Alianza Editorial.
Recommended for literature students and readers of classics with a dystopian background.
