Lord of the Flies

William Golding

Lord of the Flies was written in 1954 by Nobel Prize-winning British author William Golding. The story follows a group of boys who are stranded on a deserted island and have to learn how to survive. With politics, clashing personalities, and strong survival instincts comes a story of morality and immorality. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. Lord of the Flies is a novel about “the end of innocence” and will have you question your human impulses toward civilisation and living by rules, whether peacefully or not.
