«Sa Majesté des Mouches» is the novel by William Golding, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (288 pages, in French).
A group of children is shipwrecked on a desert island and tries to organise themselves to survive. Ralph and Piggy represent order and rules; Jack, hunting and rebellion. Coexistence turns into a power struggle that leads to violence, and the novel reflects on the conflict between civilisation and instinct and on the loss of innocence.
The novel was originally published in 1954 as «Lord of the Flies»; this French edition is part of the Folio Junior collection.
A work commonly read in schools and universities, suitable for literature students and for those seeking twentieth-century classics.
