Thought provoking critical analysis of human nature.
The book starts with a plane crash that strands a group of schoolboys on a tropical island.Now as they’re civilized English boys,they try to recreate order and law there by nominating one of them(Ralph)as the leader.On the first impression it seemd to me that the novel is gonna be an adventure story. But I was so wrong yet quite right because it surely was an adventure through the vertical movements of human nature and morality..As the book continues the group of the boys seem to loose their decency and splits into two parties(Jack's and Ralph's)one of which plunged themselves into savagery and the other still struggling to establish order and to be rescued.In this circumstances friendship turned into rivalry, innocence turned into evil and order into chaos..Set during WWII,‘Lord of The Flies’allegorically explores the underlying barbarism and obsession of power that only lead to destructions.Being a school teacher,Golding had wisely chosen the schoolboys as his characters to give his novel an wider reach.This novel is not only a classic with the revealation of human psyche,lots of symbols,shivering scenes and tragic events happened to the sympathetic characters like piggy and Simon but also a thought-provoking parody that would make you question “what are we? Humans? Or animals? Or savages? “.I’ll give it 4 ⭐/5 ⭐ and suggest to study a little about this book after finishing it.

Different take on governance and human nature!
Had different set of expectations from the book and it turned out be different.This book is supposed to be part of curriculum for many schools but I highly doubt many of children will understand it though! First of all the narration isn't free flowing like a novel and some of the incidents seem far fetched and unbelievable for the age group which is part of the story. Apart from those problems the book is good in other aspects. Story is good and what author tries to convey through the story reaches you once you complete the book. The book is about governance and human nature and nature to governance.The book is about group of kids stuck in an island after the crash who try to govern themselves with rules and fail miserably. The book is a good read!

Excellent Read
Book was in good condition and an excellent read. I had to read it for school and then it was so good that I wanted my own copy. If you enjoyed it check out the maze runner which was heavily inspired by these concepts in this book

Perturbadora
Es una obra que deja una profunda impresión en el lector con su exploración de la naturaleza humana y la civilización en crisis. La narrativa absorbente de William Golding te sumerge en una isla desierta donde un grupo de niños lucha por sobrevivir después de un accidente aéreo. La dinámica entre los personajes, es fascinante de observar mientras la civilización se desmorona y la brutalidad humana se revela. Aunque algunas escenas pueden resultar perturbadoras, la honestidad brutal de Golding en retratar los instintos más oscuros del ser humano es lo que hace que esta novela sea tan impactante.

classico in versione scuola
Libro è classico. Però, questa versione ha degli "esercizi" dedicati per ogni capitolo. Sono note che indicano dettagli con più profondi significati che altrimenti potrebbero sfuggire. Ci sono anche delle domande che fanno pensare e cercare spiegazioni per alcuni azioni. Queste domande non hanno risposte, sono solo per svegliare curiosità e per far fermare il lettore per pensare significati più prfondi. Le domande non sono in mezzo al testo, quindi volendo il libro può essere letto anche "normalmente" senza "esercizi".
