«Lord of the Flies» is the classic adventure novel by William Golding, published by Faber & Faber in paperback (240 pages, in English).
A group of British schoolboys survive a plane crash on a deserted island. Without adults, they first enjoy freedom, but the need to organise and fear of the unknown unleash tensions. The struggle for power and superstition erode coexistence and turn the story into a parable about human nature.
Originally published in 1954. The Faber & Faber edition was published in 1999. William Golding received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1983.
A common reading in schools and for those seeking modern classics that invite reflection.
