771 1779eba0-9655-4646-a6f5-a9458bdb6dc0 Lord of the Flies William Golding calibre (0.8.17) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2003-02-15T05:00:00+00:00 EDITORIAL REVIEW: The story that never grows old... *Lord of the Flies* remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's *The Catcher in the Rye* in its influence on modern thought and literature. Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse,*Lord of the Flies* has established itself as a true classic. And now readers can own it in a beautifully designed hardcover edition worthy of its stature. This Christmas' meaningful gift, the 50th Anniversary Edition of the *Lord of the Flies* is the volume that every fan of this classic book will have to own.
