About this book
A plane carrying schoolboys crashes on an uninhabited Pacific island with no adults left alive. Ralph, who is elected leader after blowing a conch to gather the others, tries to keep order with rules and a signal fire, while Piggy supplies the sense and Jack leads the hunters.
As fear of a "beast" takes hold, discipline gives way to ritual and violence, and the boys split into two camps. William Golding's 1954 novel is a short, brutal study of how quickly civilisation can fall apart.
