Lord of the flies Cover Image Book

Lord of the flies / a novel by William Golding ; [introduction by Stephen King].

Golding, William, 1911-1993 (Author).

Summary:

In this novel, 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 they 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, and these schoolboys marooned on this tropical island revert to primitive savagery.
