Senhor das Moscas é um dos romances essenciais da literatura mundial. Adaptado duas vezes para o cinema e traduzido para 35 idiomas, o clássico de William Golding já foi visto como uma alegoria, uma parábola, um tratado político e até mesmo uma visão do apocalipse.
Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, um avião cai numa ilha deserta e os únicos sobreviventes são um grupo de meninos. Liderados por Ralph, eles procuram se organizar enquanto esperam um possível resgate. Mas aos poucos esses garotos aparentemente inocentes transformam a ilha numa visceral disputa pelo poder, e sua selvageria rasga a fina superfície da civilidade.
Ao narrar essa história sobre meninos perdidos numa ilha, aos poucos se deixando levar pela barbárie, Golding constrói uma reflexão sobre o limite entre o poder e a violência desmedida. Senhor das Moscas mantém o mesmo impacto desde seu lançamento: um clássico moderno que retrata de maneira inigualável as áreas de sombra e escuridão da essência do ser humano.

Work Description

Lord of the Flies is a 1954 novel by Nobel Prize–winning British author William Golding. The book focuses on a group of British boys stranded on an uninhabited island and their disastrous attempt to govern themselves. Themes include the tension between groupthink and individuality, between rational and emotional reactions, and between morality and immorality.

The novel has been generally well received. It was named in the Modern Library 100 Best Novels, reaching number 41 on the editor's list, and 25 on the reader's list. In 2003 it was listed at number 70 on the BBC's The Big Read poll, and in 2005 Time magazine named it as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005. Time also included the novel in its list of the 100 Best Young-Adult Books of All Time. Popular reading in schools, especially in the English-speaking world, a 2016 UK poll saw Lord of the Flies ranked third in the nation's favourite books from school.
