About this product

Product Information

A plane crashes on an uninhabited island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast. In this, his first novel, William Golding gave the traditional adventure story an ironic, devastating twist. The boys' delicate sense of order fades, and their childish fears are transformed into something deeper and more primitive. Their games take on a horrible significance, and before long the well-behaved party of schoolboys has turned into a tribe of faceless, murderous savages. First published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is now recognized as a classic, one of the most celebrated of all modern novels.

    bought for school very cheap

    My son's class is using this version when they study it for GCSE. This was very much below RRP direct from the publisher (anyone else would be selling at a loss) This book is important for everyone to read - particularly in the light of Channel 4's Eden.

    Not the same book cover

    I thought the cover would be the same, but it is not. I bought this specific book because I wanted to match with the rest of my class mates as the cover it shows, is the same cover as the one they have at my school. The book is still in a nice condition, it's just not the same as i expected it to be.
