«El señor de las moscas» is the allegorical novel by William Golding, published by Altaya in hardcover (278 pages, in Spanish).
A group of British boys survive a shipwreck and are left isolated on a desert island. Their first impulse is to organize themselves and maintain order, but coexistence deteriorates until it leads to violence. Through symbolic narration, Golding explores the tension between civilization and barbarism, the loss of innocence and the limits of human nature.
The novel was originally published in 1954; this 1995 edition belongs to the Nobel Prize Library collection.
