Golding rules again!
Lord of the Flies is a story about an adventure which turns from an unexpected exciting episode to a bitter, sour dream come true. Although the scene focuses on children,it is a brilliant portrait of adult behavior too. The part about the Lord of the Flies still sends chills down my spine. Golding actually manages to confuse the reader just like the characters are supposed to be in the story. A must read for anyone who also likes stuff like Orwell, Greene and the like

Pincher Martin and Free Fall are good too but the Lord of the Flies walks away with all prizes, a simple story well-told. ... Read more

Terribly overpriced
Almost $43 retail for a 141-page YA (Young Adult) book? No wonder it's selling very poorly. That works out to thirty cents a page. ... Read more

Product Description

Best-known for the cruel moral vision of such novels as Lord of the Flies, The Inheritors, Pincher Martin, Free Fall, The Spire, Close Quarters, and Fire Down Below, William Golding expressed a view of humanity that was essentially religious, torn between the brutal realities of good and evil. A Nobel Laureate, he also won the Booker Prize for Rites of Passage. Distinguished critic Virginia Tiger argues that his writings explore themes of human destiny and vision. Drawing upon her own personal recollections of conversations with Golding and quoting from her correspondence with him, she shows how structure supports content in this extraordinary body of work. The only book to offer a complete commentary on his entire literary oeuvre.
