The material in this casebook edition of one of the most widely read novels of our time includes not only the full text, but also statements by the author about the novel, reminiscences of Golding by his brother, an appreciation of the novel by E.M. Forster, and a number of critical essays from various points of view. Included are psychological, religious, and literary approaches, bibliographical material, and explanatory notes.William Golding's compelling story about a group of very ordinary small boys marooned on a coral island has become a modern classic. At first it seems as though it is all going to be great fun; but the fun before long becomes furious and life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic and death. As ordinary standards of behaviour collapse, the whole world the boys know collapses with them—and another world is revealed beneath, primitive and terrible.
