After a plane crash, a group of British schoolboys find themselves alone on a Pacific island. Under the leadership of Ralph, the chief they have elected, they organize to survive. But at night, their sleep is filled with nightmares. What if there really was a strange creature lurking in the jungle? Under Jack's direction, the monster hunt begins. The clans of Jack and Ralph will soon clash cruelly. Through the adventures of a group of children left to their own devices, William Golding tells us the terrifying evolution of civilization towards savagery.
