Lord of the Flies

William Golding

Jorge González (Illlustrations)

"Here, struck down by the heat, the sow fell and the hunters hurled themselves at her. This dreadful eruption from an unknown world made her frantic; she squealed and bucked and the air was full of sweat and noise and blood and terror."

Published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is the first and most important novel of the British author William Golding. A group of boys, the sole survivors of a plane accident, are forced to survive on a desert island. A disturbing moral fable that exposes its characters to situations of extreme isolation, both psychological and spiritual. Bit by bit the bous stop obeying the conventions of civilization, leading to a turbulent and cruel confrontation, and an inevitable distressing and uneasy end.















Lord of the Flies is a truly dreadful allegory; a masterpiece.
