Lord of the Flies
William Golding
During a world war, a plane evacuating a group of English schoolboys crashes on an uncharted, uninhabited island, leaving them without adult supervision. The boys, initially celebrating their freedom, attempt to establish a civil society by electing a leader, Ralph, and setting up rules. However, the struggle to maintain order is challenged by the more primal instincts and desire for power led by Jack Merridew, who prioritizes hunting and tribalism. As a fear of a mysterious 'beast' grips the group, their fragile civilization rapidly disintegrates into chaos, paranoia, and a brutal descent into savagery.
