About the book
British boys who survive a plane crash find themselves forced to create their own civilization on a deserted island, but quickly descend into chaos and savagery. Golding examines the fragility of social order and the dark side of human nature with penetrating symbolic prose, transforming a children's adventure story into a disturbing allegory about power, morality and the collapse of civilization.
