  • "Sir William Gerald Golding, 1911-1993, British novelist."@en
  • "A fable of ship-wrecked children turning to primitive savagery that portrays the collapse of social order into chaos."@en
  • "The classic study of human nature which depicts the degeneration of a group of schoolboys marooned on a desert island."@en
  • "At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. This far from civilization the can do anything they want. Anything. But as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far removed from reality as the hope of being rescued."
  • "After a plane crash strands them on a tropical island while the rest of the world is ravaged by war, a group of British schoolboys attempts to form a civilized society but descends into brutal anarchy."
  • "The classic tale of a group of English school boys who are left stranded on an unpopulated island, and who must confront not only the defects of their society but the defects of their own nature. Lord of the Flies 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. Yet soon 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. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic."@en
  • "A horror story about a group of boys, who after being cut off from society, revert to brutal, primitive tribalism."@en
  • "Twenty-five school boys lost on a tropical island after a plane crash revert to savagery in their efforts to survive."@en
