📕 Fiction
Lord of the Flies
📖 Synopsis
Shipwrecked boys on an island slide from civilization to savagery. Golding's chilling allegory of human nature.
✍️ ChatZona's review
Golding poses the most uncomfortable question that can be asked about human nature and provides no reassuring answer. The boys are not innocent: they are people, and frightened people are dangerous. The allegory works with an almost cruel efficiency; the image of the conch as a symbol of civil order being shattered endures. Short, direct, devastating. Recommended for young and adult readers alike, with the warning that this is not a book that leaves you indifferent.
