One of the most famous novels about the collapse of culture and civilization, which entered permanently into the canon of the most important works of the 20th century

A group of boys, who are the only survivors of a plane crash, find refuge on a deserted island. At first the castaways, deprived of adult supervision, enjoy their freedom in a paradisiacal setting far from civilization. But their efforts to create their own small society lead to disaster, and the adventure turns into a nightmare.

Nobel Laureate in Literature William Golding dispels illusions about man's good nature, showing in an evocative and horrifying way how ordinary British schoolchildren gradually sink into barbarism and lose their human reflexes.
