Lord of the Flies [Paperback, 9781573226127]

Overview

Before The Hunger Games there was Lord of the Flies. It remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Later it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature. William Golding’s compelling story about a group of very ordinary small boys marooned on a coral island has become a modern classic. At first, it seems as though it is all going to be great fun; but before long, the fun becomes fury, and life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic and death. As ordinary standards of behavior collapse, the whole world of cricket and homework and adventure stories that the boys know collapses with them‚ and another world is revealed beneath, primitive and terrible. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, or even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies [9781573226127] has established itself as a true classic.
