About the Author
Hystorical Background
Hystorical Background
In 1952 wrote the novel "Strangers from Within", which was not accepted by publishers
In 1954 it was published by T.S. Eliot with the title "Lord of the flies" suggested by Eliot, the title was inspired by a Beelzebub metaphor
The book rejoined the experiment carried out by Golding in his elementary school, where he divided the children into two groups to discuss on a specific argument, sometimes with him, sometimes independently.
Golding noted that, in the absence of an arbitrator, the discussion often escalated into a fight.
The novel is a manifesto of his pessimistic society view, according to which the instinct to oppression prevails over reason ... in harmony with the theory of "homo homini lupus" or with the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes
