Lord of the flies, William Golding

Post by mvg_80 »

An allegory adventure story of lost innocence and an investigation into the primitive being in man - William Golding traces a picture of man as a primarily instinctive being. As the unexplainable, though unanimous, vote of the pack of English boys is cast on Ralph to be their chief, the primitive spark that lies beneath the pursuit of hapiness and self-satisfaction, breaks into a consuming, unquenchable fire, in the heart of a disappointed Jack. The conscience of the sensible leader is belittled and derided by everyone, sadly confirming the universal truth that sanity is a still little voice in the mind of man so easily taken adrift in the sea of his internal darkness.

An island of many marvelous colors and phenomena leads readers through a devastating and feverish adventure.... A Compelling read from cover to cover.
