William Golding's classic novel of primitive savagery and survival is one of the most vividly realized and riveting works in modern fiction.
The tale begins after a plane wreck deposits a group of English school boys, aged six to twelve, on an isolated tropical island. Their struggle to survive and impose order quickly evolves from a battle against nature into a battle against their own primitive instincts.
Golding's portrayal of the collapse of social order into chaos draws the fine line between innocence and savagery.
