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.
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 the fun before long
becomes furious and life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic
and death. As ordinary standards of behaviour collapse, the whole world
the boys know collapses with them—the world of cricket and homework and
adventure stories—and another world is revealed beneath, primitive and
terrible.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.
