Following a plane crash, a group of schoolboys is left marooned on a tropical island. Their initial attempts at co-operation soon founder and, as the veneer of civilisation wears away, their primitive instincts are unleashed, with horrifying consequences. Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding’s powerful and disturbing novel is given a startling new interpretation in this illustrated edition. Award-winning artist Sam Weber explores the themes of anarchy, camaraderie and the dark side of human nature in a series of six extraordinary illustrations, while his striking binding design depicts a pivotal scene in the book.
