Winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize in Literature: William Golding

Writer's picture: IvankaIvanka

Lord of the Files

This classic, published in 1954, is one of the most significant literary works of the 20th century.

A group of British boys find themselves on a desert island after a plane crash. Their efforts to organize and control the situation lead to a power struggle in which chaos and primitive instincts take the lead.

This is not an ordinary adventure story about boys on a desert island, but a deeper topic - the nature of human personality.

The book is full of symbols, and the central symbol is the Lord of the Flies, which represents discord, destruction, destruction, and death.

This shocking book is a major issue. Does every man want to rule someone or something and is there a struggle for supremacy in all of us?

The novel is very disturbing and it leads to the recognition that a group of people is a powerful thing and that human values are really fragile.

Will good or evil win in the end?
