English books: "Lord of the Flies"

Guys!!

Do you remember I told you about this book last year, around summer?
I abandoned it. I don't usually do that but it's been a really strange year... Anyway, I finished it two weeks ago more or less so I just wanted to tell you about it.

By William Golding, "Lord of the Flies" marked its era. It was a new way of explaining life and human evolution through art. William did, indeed. He managed to write a best-seller.

"The most influencial novel... since Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye." ---- Time

A plane crashes in an unknown island at the dawn of the next world war, in which crush the one and only adult travelling with a group of schoolboys is killed.
At first they are happy to be free and to handle things on their own but, as time goes on, terror begins its reign.
Ralph is chosen to be chief of the group of people and he decides that a fire must be lit constantly, for his father is a marine and he'll rescue them.

This novel tells the tale of some kids who discover how their system can collapse above them and how adventure isn't as in books (funny, ha? ;), for they need to fight their way through the darkness of the situation.

It's a really nice book, I recommend it to everyone with a sense of reality and knowledge. It makes you think about what really is important in life.
