A plane crashes on an uninhabited 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.
In this, his first novel, William Golding gave the traditional adventure story an ironic, devastating twist. The boys' delicate sense of order fades, and their childish fears are transformed into something deeper and more primitive. Their games take on a horrible significance, and before long the well-behaved party of schoolboys has turned into a tribe of faceless, murderous savages.
First published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is now recognized as a classic, one of the most celebrated of all modern novels.

William Golding was born in Cornwall in 1911 and was educated at Marlborough Grammar School and at Brasenose College, Oxford. Before he became a schoolmaster he was an actor, a lecturer, a small-boat sailor and a musician. A now rare volume, Poems, appeared in 1934. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy and saw action against battleships, submarines and aircraft. He was present at the sinking of the Bismarck. He finished the war as a Lieutenant in command of a rocket ship, which was off the French coast for the D-day invasion, and later at the island of Welcheren. After the war he returned to Bishop Wordsworth's School in Salisbury and was there when his first novel, Lord of the Flies, was published in 1954. He gave up teaching in 1961.
Lord of the Flies was filmed by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding listed his hobbies as music, chess, sailing, archaeology and classical Greek (which he taught himself). Many of these subjects appear in his essay collections The Hot Gates and A Moving Target. He won the Booker Prize for his novel Rites of Passage in 1980, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988. He died at his home in the summer of 1993. The Double Tongue, a novel left in draft at his death, was published in June 1995. - See more at: http://www.faber.co.uk/catalog/author/william-golding#sthash.Hos5xYe4.dpuf
最近看《蝇王》的上海译文出版社龚志成的中译文感觉骨鲠在喉。虽然于写作一途，我连门还没找到，但太差劲的文字，我还是能感受得到；虽然我的英语是半瓶醋，但错译乱译，我还是能看出来的。 先从文学的角度说起。 看小说的开头： 原著： The boy with fair hair lowered himsel...

The Lord of Flies，在基督教传说中它是苍蝇之王Beelzebub，在某个著名游戏中它是大魔头Baal，在这部小说中它是一个叮满苍蝇的猪头。 “恶之出于人，犹如蜜之出于蜂！”Golding码了一生的英文单词，最后冷冷丢下这句话，不留一点余地；世人却早已见怪不怪。恶的故事，每天都已...

lew给的时间太短，没来得及仔细体会就读完了。而且这本书的symbolism用得到处都是，说完全看懂了是假的。
