Product Description

Product Description

The compelling story about a group of very ordinary small boys marooned on a coral island. 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 - the world of cricket, homework and adventure stories - and another world is revealed beneath, primitive and terrible.


About the Author

William Golding is considered by many to be the greatest English novelist of the last fifty years. He wrote eleven novels, the best-known being The Lord of the Flies, The Spire and Rites of Passage, which won the 1980 Booker Prize. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983, and was knighted in 1988. He died in 1993. Tim Piggott-Smith has worked widely in theatre, but is perhaps best known for his appearances on television, including The Jewel in the Crown.

5.0 out of 5 stars My bible for GCSE English!!!!!, 12 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: "Lord of the Flies" (Teach Yourself Revision Guides) (Paperback)
I am currently studying GCSE English and was looking for a study guide to help me with "Lord of the Flies". I came across this one purely by chance and have never looked back. This book has taken me from not understandng any of the book and its meanings and implications to knowing exactly what things represent. The use of translating the complex language of the book into simple terms was fantastic.

This book is cheap and extremely useful and I would strongly recommend this to anyone studying the book. I originally, before I used this book, wrote and essay and I received a D grade, I then used this book to rewrite the essay and received an A* grade. Thats how well it works.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for anyone from "littluns" to "bigguns"..., 8 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" (MaxNotes) (Paperback)
My English class has just finished reading Lord of the Flies, and the way Golding uses symbolism is amazing! EVERYTHING in this book is a symbol! Golding can see right into mans' evil and destructive nature. He shows us how destructive we can be by setting forests on fire, pushing boulders off cliffs, and childrens' games of throwing sand and rocks at each other. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and definitly recommend it for anyone. Read it! Golding's perspective of us humans is very thought-provoking. By the way...this book does not take place during WW2. Have you ever heard of an ejectable passenger tube on an airplane? No. He wrote it to be some time in the future--anytime actually. But time is not important. If it were a specific time it may not apply to us now in the present, but it does. It can apply to anyone, and that's how he wanted it to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars It was amazing!, 23 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" (MaxNotes) (Paperback)
If William Golding was alive today and I had the opportunity of meeting him, I would congratulate him on his amazing novel. The use of symbolism was so extremely explicit and perfectly written, it really made me think about society and where we would be without it. It was a novel which I have read over and over again and I will certainly never forget it as it showed me the origins of mankind and taught me to never, ever take anything for granted. Read and enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm, it's OK.
The CD's, packaging, quality and narration are all fine. The book itself is quite dated but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
