About this book
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. But gradually the fun they have soon turns to a sort of madness. In Golding's dark vision, democracy quickly dissolves into tyranny, civilization into savagery, and the boys begin to abandon the morality of civilization and act on their darkest impulses. Lord of the Flies is a profound allegory about the darkness at the heart of humanity.
