Lord of the Flies

Capturing generations of readers since its publication in 1954, "Lord of the Flies" is a cult favorite among students and literary critics. An adventure tale in its purest form, this thrilling account of a group of British schoolboys marooned on a tropical island exposes the duality of human nature itself - the dark, eternal divide between order and chaos, intellect and instinct, structure and savagery. 256 pages.
