A classic tale, full of symbolism, written by the author of "Lord of the Flies" which became kind of a cult book. Golding was British and achieved much fame in the US after the publication of "...Flies". His use of words is astonishingly brilliant. The first page pulls the reader into a sunlit cathedral so bright you can hear it crackle.
