Lord of the Flies

First published in 1954, William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" stands as one of the most haunting and revered novels of modern literature.

Following a plane crash on a remote island, the sole survivors are a group of schoolboys. Initially intoxicated by their newfound freedom and liberated from adult authority, they revel in their uninhibited existence.

Yet, as the fragile constructs of civilization unravel, their idyllic paradise transforms into a harrowing landscape of primal instincts and mounting terror. The comforting trappings of their former lives—cricket matches, schoolwork, and tales of adventure—recede into distant memory as the boys confront the stark reality of survival. Their world is besieged by the looming specter of a malevolent entity, manifesting as a nightmarish beast that stalks their collective subconscious.
