Ürün Tanıtımı

'Lord of the Flies' is anovel that has captivated schoolchildren ever since it was first published in1954. A teacher himself, Golding clearly understood what excites and interestschildren. It is not only a gripping story, with strong, sympathetic characters,but it also raises timeless and profound questions. Part of its lasting appeal,particularly in schools, surely arises from the way it tackles universalissues. The novel is a catalyst for thought-provoking discussion and analysis,not only concerning the capabilities of humans for good and evil and thefragility of moral inhibition, but beyond. The boys' struggle to find a way ofexisting in a community with no fixed boundaries invites readers to evaluatethe concepts involved in social and political constructs and moral frameworks.Ideas of community, leadership, and the rule of law are called into question asthe reader has to consider who has a right to power, why, and what theconsequences of the acquisition of power may be. All of these concerns arecurrent today and can be easily related to the novel through effective teachingand learning.
