书籍简介

《蝇王》50周年纪念版是这本经典书籍的每一位书迷都必须拥有的一册书

《蝇王》今天仍然像1954年出版时一样具有挑衅性，以其惊人的、残酷的人性描写点燃了激烈的辩论。虽然该书受到好评，但在初出版时基本上被忽视了。然而，很快它就成为学生和文学评论家的爱，他们把它与J.D.塞林格的《麦田里的守望者》相比，认为它对现代思想和文学有影响。

《蝇王》被称为寓言、寓言、神话、道德故事、模仿、政治论文，甚至是对世界末日的展望，它已成为真正的经典。现在读者可以拥有一个设计精美的精装版，与它的地位相称。

The 50th Anniversary Edition of the Lord of the Flies is the volume that every fan of this classic book will have to own!

Lord of the Flies remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature.

Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic. And now readers can own it in a beautifully designed hardcover edition worthy of its stature.

Born in Cornwall, England, in 1911 and educated at Oxford University, William Gerald Golding's first book, Poems, was published in 1935. Following a stint in the Royal Navy and other diversions during and after World War II, Golding wrote Lord of the Flies while teaching school. This was the first of several novels including Pincher Martin, Free Fall, and The Inheritors and a play, The Brass Butterfly, which led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983.
