Lord of the Flies: (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century) -- William Golding, Paperback
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.
Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books. That was a big influence on me as a teenager, I still read it every couple of years.
--Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games
--Stephen King

About the Author
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.
