Présentation
A plane crashes on a deserted island. The survivors are all schoolboys — no adults, no rules. At first it feels like paradise: fires on the beach, fruit, freedom. Then the conch is challenged, the hunters paint their faces, and a darkness older than civilisation rises among the children. William Golding's first novel, which helped earn him the Nobel Prize, remains one of the most unsettling books ever written about human nature. Generations of readers discover it at school and never quite shake it off. Original English text, French-published edition.
