<p>William Gerald Golding was an English writer and the Nobel Prize laureate in Literature in 1983. "Lord of the Flies" is his debut work, published in 1954, which almost immediately gained the status of a classic, although Golding received over two dozen rejection letters from publishers before its publication. At the beginning of World War II, a group of children ends up on a deserted island after a plane crash, left without the watchful eye of adults. They enthusiastically embrace their newfound freedom, free to do as they please. The children attempt to establish a society with their own rules, but they fail, experiencing the true power of violence, sin, and evil. The established order of relationships crumbles, strange and terrifying sounds fill the night air. As fear takes hold in the hearts of the children, the hope for a joyful adventure filled with exciting experiences becomes distant, as does the hope for rescue. Described as a parable, allegory, myth, moral tale, parody, political treatise, and even a vision of an impending apocalypse, "Lord of the Flies" is perhaps the most significant novel about the "loss of innocence" and the "darkness of the human heart."<br></p>
