Newly remastered with additional sound design to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Lord of the Flies.
A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast. As the boys& apos; delicate sense of order fades, so their childish dreams are transformed into something more primitive, and their behaviour starts to take on a murderous, savage significance.
First Published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is one of the most celebrated and widely read of modern classics
& apos; The first book with hands - strong ones that reached out of the pages and seized me by the throat. It said to me, & apos; This is not just entertainment; it& apos; s life or death. & apos; . . . I& apos; ve been thinking about it ever since, for fifty years and more. & apos; Stephen King
& apos; One of my favorite books - I read it every couple of years. & apos; Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games
& apos; A post-apocalyptic, dystopian survivor-fantasy . . . [A novel] for all time . . . A cult classic. & apos; Guardian
