About this product

Product Information

Golding's iconic 1954 novel, now with a new foreword by Lois Lowry, remains one of the greatest books ever written for young adults and an unforgettable classic for readers of any age. This edition includes a new Suggestions for Further Reading by Jennifer Buehler. At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. This far from civilization they can do anything they want. Anything. But as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far removed from reality as the hope of being rescued.

" Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books. I still read it every couple of years." --Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games trilogy "I finished the last half of Lord of the Flies in a single afternoon, my eyes wide, my heart pounding, not thinking, just inhaling....My rule of thumb as a writer and reader--largely formed by Lord of the Flies --is feel it first, think about it later ." -- Stephen King "This brilliant work is a frightening parody on man's return [in a few weeks] to that state of darkness from which it took him thousands of years to emerge. Fully to succeed, a fantasy must approach very close to reality. Lord of the Flies does. It must also be superbly written. It is." --The New York Times Book Review, " Lord of the Flies  is one of my favorite books.

    Great cover art, great condition for used book

    I've loved Lord of the Flies for a long time, but so many of the covers are absolutely hideous. This is the cover I've been wanting. It's a used book, but wear is minimal, and all things considered it's in great condition. The photographs accurately displayed what I was going to get. I'm very happy to finally have an appealing cover for this excellent story.

    Will society always spin into anarchy and chaos?

    William Golding’s Lord of the Flies is simply one of the best novels written. The book appears on virtually every Best 100 Books list. The story involves a group of British children who are stranded on a tropical island. They initially organize around Ralph, and begin to prepare their island paradise for survival, while also maintaining a fire to alert any search party of their presence. The group creates rules for their mini civilization. Conflict begins when Jack organizes his group of “hunters”, rejecting Ralph’s authority. The civilization descends into chaos, and even murder as the hunters challenge Ralph. Can society be organized around logic and order? Or is it man’s nature to reject order? Can society (government) rule by consent of the governed, or must it rely on force and the ...

    Lord of the flies

    Great deal. I ended up ordering the book for my daughter's summer English assignment. All the books were in use at our public library. Good thing we bought our own copy bc she needed to take cliff notes in the book. Once she has finished the book, I'll get a chance to read this classic again.

    Lord of the Flies

    The book price was good for the condition it was in. I purchased it for a student at school who has been required to read it in a class.
