Summary
William Golding: Lord of the Flies
First edition!
The first novel of the British Nobel laureate for literature, William Golding. The seemingly simple adventure of a group of children left on a desert island grows into a symbolic representation of how the form of social community must necessarily depend on the ethical nature of the individual, and not on the ethical nature of the political system, no matter how logical and worthy of respect that nature may be.
