William Golding’s seminal 1954 novel, published by Faber & Faber, chronicles the harrowing descent into savagery of a group of British schoolboys stranded on an uninhabited island. Through a stark exploration of human nature and the fragility of societal structures, the narrative examines the inherent conflict between civilization and primal instinct.
