In 'Lord of the Flies', a group of British schoolboys, stranded on a desert island after a plane crash, try to organize themselves and survive. Initially, they establish rules and a democratic system, but as time passes, civilization crumbles and the most primitive instincts take control. The struggle for power, the fear of the unknown, and the loss of innocence are central themes of this work, which explores human nature and the dangers of barbarism when social norms are abandoned. This educational edition includes supplementary material to facilitate understanding and analysis of the text.
