Books Descriptions
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 boys can do
anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing,
however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange
howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems
as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. 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 is perhaps our most memorable tale about ?the end
of innocence, the darkness of man?s heart.?
