William Golding was born in Cornwall in 1911 and was educated at Marlborough Grammar School and at Brasenose College, Oxford. Before he became a schoolmaster he was an actor, a lecturer, a small-boat sailor and a musician. A now rare volume, Poems, appeared in 1934. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy and saw action against battleships, submarines and aircraft. He was present at the sinking of the Bismarck. He finished the war as a Lieutenant in command of a rocket ship, which was off the French coast for the D-day invasion, and later at the island of Welcheren. After the war he returned to Bishop Wordsworth's School in Salisbury and was there when his first novel, Lord of the Flies, was published in 1954. He gave up teaching in 1961.
Lord of the Flies was filmed by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding listed his hobbies as music, chess, sailing, archaeology and classical Greek (which he taught himself). Many of these subjects appear in his essay collections The Hot Gates and A Moving Target. He won the Booker Prize for his novel Rites of Passage in 1980, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988. He died at his home in the summer of 1993. The Double Tongue, a novel left in draft at his death, was published in June 1995. - See more at: http://www.faber.co.uk/catalog/author/william-golding#sthash.Hos5xYe4.dpuf
A plane crashes on an uninhabited island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast.
In this, his first novel, William Golding gave the traditional adventure story an ironic, devastating twist. The boys' delicate sense of order fades, and their childish fears are transformed into something deeper and more primitive. Their games take on a horrible significance, and before long the well-behaved party of schoolboys has turned into a tribe of faceless, murderous savages.
First published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is now recognized as a classic, one of the most celebrated of all modern novels.

評分固定链接: http://www.saoyuying.com/2011/09/lord-of-flies/ 《蝇王》是诺贝尔文学奖获得者威廉·戈尔丁最著名的小说作品,在西方中小学普遍被列为必读的儿童读物。这其中的原因并非这是一部以儿童为主角的小说,而是这是一部以“天真善良”的儿童为载体,来表达人类从文明...
評分书中的杰克不知道为什么一出现就给人一种令人害怕不受管束的一种印象,似乎他像是人类最古老文明中残留的那点野蛮性质的星星之火,当孩子们被战争的硝烟带到这个荒无人烟的小岛上时,这点星星之火便不受压抑的向四周蔓延,再逼迫着烘烤着每一个幼小的心灵,而因为害怕恐惧...
評分我一直以为,在英语写作史上,抛开文学因素,有两位作家是值得全世界去尊敬的。 他们是William Golding和George Orwell。 1983年诺贝尔文学奖得主戈尔丁的获奖作品<蝇王>是世界上对人性挖掘最深刻也最悲观的作品之一,它是足以让所有良知未泯的人落泪的。人性是什么?戈尔丁...
評分在读这部小说之前,我倒是建议应该先去某大型机械制造厂去看一看,深入厂房和车间,去看看那些精细奇妙的机械,看它们如何从复杂至极的图纸上变成让人瞠目结舌的样子。那些庞大的,高妙的,冷冰冰的东西经过层层捶打改造,构成了人类几乎无法驾驭的锡安之齿。你会由衷的被眼前...
看得頭皮發麻,雖然不喜歡但確實是很好的書。一個女同學在課上看到PIGGY死的那段由衷的哀鳴:WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE CHILDREN
评分讀得辛苦而鬱悶,說老實話,我很不喜歡這本書,給我的整體印象非常不好,雖然這是諾貝爾文學奬得主寫的,雖然我明白它裏麵的深刻意義,但是不喜歡就是不喜歡。
评分隱晦的無政府主義

评分很震撼的小說,經過講解之後纔瞭解。
