| William Golding - Lord of the Flies |
| Based on Ballantyne’s ‘The Coral Island’, Golding the schoolmaster makes his boys behave very differently on their desert island. Survivors from a nuclear attack, the boys take a perfect island and end by totally destroying it. As their memory of order fades their behaviour takes on a murderous and savage dimension. The parallel with our destruction of our planet is clear. The perfect island floats through the novel like a unique star, as it suffers increasingly the unthinking rape by the boys. Fabulous description and unforgettable characters make this a book deserving of its place as a 20th C classic. |
