William Golding's classic tale about a group of English schoolboys who are plane-wrecked on a deserted island. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want.

Lord of the Flies is a profound allegory about the darkness at the heart of humanity.
