Description:

The Lord of the Flies contradicts, colorfully and completely, the utopian view of human nature and offers no promise of a better world. It is a masterful allegory offering stark vision of reality and a powerful and convincing story of the end of innocence set on an enchanting island. It is a classic study of savagery featuring cast of children and shows that inherent evil destroys all attempts at creation.
