Lord of the Flies-蝇王

作者：Golding William

书名：Lord of the Flies《蝇王》

中文简介：《蝇王》（英语：Lord of the Flies）是威廉·高丁发表于1954年的寓言体长篇小说。小说讲述了一群被困在荒岛上的儿童在完全没有成人的引导下如何建立起一个脆弱的文明体系。最终由于人类内心的黑暗面导致这个文明体系无可避免地被野蛮与暴力所代替。主题是备受争议的人性，个体权益与集体利益的冲突，是当代英文小说中的经典。威廉·高丁也为此获得1983年诺贝尔文学奖。

英文简介：At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate; this far from civilization the boys can do anything they want. Anything. They attempt to forge their own society, failing, however, in the face of terror, sin and evil. And as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far from reality as the hope of being rescued. 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 is perhaps our most memorable novel about “the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart.”
