A group of children is left isolated on a desert island after a shipwreck and tries to organise itself as a small society. The seemingly idyllic adventure begins to go wrong when fear and instincts gain ground over reason and order, leading to an escalation of violence. The novel is an allegory of the fragility of civilisation.
Work originally published in English as «Lord of the Flies» in 1954. This French edition belongs to the Folio collection (no. 1480).
For readers of modern classics and dystopian fiction; it is a common reading in school programmes.
