内容简介

Lord of the Flies remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature.

Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic.

作者简介

Born in Cornwall, England, in 1911 and educated at Oxford University, William Gerald Golding's first book, Poems, was published in 1935. Following a stint in the Royal Navy and other diversions during and after World War II, Golding wrote Lord of the Flies while teaching school. This was the first of several novels including Pincher Martin, Free Fall, and The Inheritors and a play, The Brass Butterfly, which led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983.

精彩书评

"The most influential novel...since Salinger's Catcher in the Rye."
-- Time

"Lord of the Flies [is my selection for The Book That Changed My Life] because it is both a story with a message and because it is a great tale of adventure. My advice about reading is to do a lot of it."
-- Stephen King, for the National Book Foundation, The Book That Changed My Life

"[T]his brilliant work is a frightening parody on man's return (in a few weeks) to that state of darkness from which it took him thousands of years to emerge. Fully to succeed, a fantasy must approach very close to reality. Lord of the Flies does. It must also be superbly written. It is."
-- The New York Times Book Review

"[S]parely and elegantly written...Lord of the Flies is a grim anti-pastoral in which adults are disguised as children who replicate the worst of their elders' heritage of ignorance, violence, and warfare."
-- Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books

THE SOUND OF THE SHELL
THE BOY WITH FAIR HAIR LOWERED HIMSELF down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way toward the lagoon. Though he had taken off his school sweater and trailed it now from one hand, his grey shirt stuck to him and his hair was plastered to his forehead. All round him the long scar smashed into the jungle was a bath of heat. He was clambering heavily among the creepers and broken trunks when a bird, a vision of red and yellow, flashed upwards with a witchlike cry; and this cry was echoed by another.
"Hi!" it said. "Wait a minute!"
The undergrowth at the side of the scar was shaken and a multitude of raindrops fell pattering.
"Wait a minute," the voice said. "I got caught up."
The fair boy stopped and jerked his stockings with an automatic gesture that made the jungle seem for a moment like the Home Counties.
The voice spoke again.
"I can't hardly move with all these creeper things."
The owner of the voice came backing out of the undergrowth so that twigs scratched on a greasy wind-breaker. The naked crooks of his knees were plump, caught and scratched by thorns. He bent down, removed the thorns carefully, and turned around. He was shorter than the fair boy and very fat. He came forward, searching out safe lodgments for his feet, and then looked up through thick spectacles.
"Where's the man with the megaphone?"
The fair boy shook his head.
"This is an island. At least I think it's an island. That's a reef out in the sea. Perhaps there aren't any grownups anywhere."
The fat boy looked startled.
"There was that pilot. But he wasn't in the passenger cabin, he was up in front."
The fair boy was peering at the reef through screwed-up eyes.
"All them other kids," the fat boy went on. "Some of them must have got out. They must have, mustn't they?"
The fair boy began to pick his way as casually as possible toward the water. He tried to be offhand and not too obviously uninterested, but the fat boy hurried after him.
"Aren't there any grownups at all?"
"I don't think so."
The fair boy said this solemnly; but then the delight of a realized ambition overcame him. In the middle of the scar he stood on his head and grinned at the reversed fat boy.
"No grownups!"
The fat boy thought for a moment.
"That pilot."
The fair boy allowed his feet to come down and sat on the steamy earth.
"He must have flown off after he dropped us. He couldn't land here. Not in a place with wheels."
"We was attacked!"
"He'll be back all right."
The fat boy shook his head.
"When we was coming down I looked through one of them windows. I saw the other part of the plane. There were flames coming out of it."
He looked up and down the scar.
"And this is what the cabin done."
The fair boy reached out and touched the jagged end of a trunk. For a moment he looked interested.
"What happened to it?" he asked. "Where's it got to now?"
"That storm dragged it out to sea. It wasn't half dangerous with all them tree trunks falling. There must have been some kids still in it."
He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again.
"What's your name?"
"Ralph."
The fat boy waited to be asked his name in turn but this proffer of acquaintance was not made; the fair boy called Ralph smiled vaguely, stood up, and began to make his way once more toward the lagoon. The fat boy hung steadily at his shoulder.
"I expect there's a lot more of us scattered about. You haven't seen any others, have you?"
Ralph shook his head and increased his speed. Then he tripped over a branch and came down with a crash.
The fat boy stood by him, breathing hard.
"My auntie told me not to run," he explained, "on account of my asthma."
"Ass-mar?"
"That's right. Can't catch my breath. I was the only boy in our school what had asthma," said the fat boy with a touch of pride. "And I've been wearing specs since I was three."
He took off his glasses and held them out to Ralph, blinking and smiling, and then started to wipe them against his grubby wind-breaker. An expression of pain and inward concentration altered the pale contours of his face. He smeared the sweat from his cheeks and quickly adjusted the spectacles on his nose.
"Them fruit."
He glanced round the scar.
"Them fruit," he said, "I expect—"
He put on his glasses, waded away from Ralph, and crouched down among the tangled foliage.
"I'll be out again in just a minute—"
Ralph disentangled himself cautiously and stole away through the branches. In a few seconds the fat boy's grunts were behind him and he was hurrying toward the screen that still lay between him and the lagoon. He climbed over a broken trunk and was out of the jungle.
The shore was fledged with palm trees. These stood or leaned or reclined against the light and their green feathers were a hundred feet up in the air. The ground beneath them was a bank covered with coarse grass, torn everywhere by the upheavals of fallen trees, scattered with decaying coconuts and palm saplings. Behind this was the darkness of the forest proper and the open space of the scar. Ralph stood, one hand against a grey trunk, and screwed up his eyes against the shimmering water. Out there, perhaps a mile away, the white surf flinked on a coral reef, and beyond that the open sea was dark blue. Within the irregular arc of coral the lagoon was still as a mountain lake—blue of all shades and shadowy green and purple. The beach between the palm terrace and the water was a thin stick, endless apparently, for to Ralph's left the perspectives of palm and beach and water drew to a point at infinity; and always, almost visible, was the heat.
He jumped down from the terrace. The sand was thick over his black shoes and the heat hit him. He became conscious of the weight of clothes, kicked his shoes off fiercely and ripped off each stocking with its elastic garter in a single movement. Then he leapt back on the terrace, pulled off his shirt, and stood there among the skull-like coconuts with green shadows from the palms and the forest sliding over his skin. He undid the snake-clasp of his belt, lugged off his shorts and pants, and stood there naked, looking at the dazzling beach and the water.
He was old enough, twelve years and a few months, to have lost the prominent tummy of childhood and not yet old enough for adolescence to have made him awkward. You could see now that he might make a boxer, as far as width and heaviness of shoulders went, but there was a mildness about his mouth and eyes that proclaimed no devil. He patted the palm trunk softly, and, forced at last to believe in the reality of the island laughed delightedly again and stood on his head. He turned nearly on to his Lord of the Flies[蝇王] 英文原版 [平装] 下载 mobi epub pdf txt 电子书 格式

[ZZ]写的的书都写得很好，[sm]还是朋友推荐我看的，后来就非非常喜欢，他的书了。除了他的书，我和我家小孩还喜欢看郑渊洁、杨红樱、黄晓阳、小桥老树、王永杰、杨其铎、晓玲叮当、方洲，他们的书我觉得都写得很好。[SM]，很值得看，价格也非常便宜，比实体店买便宜好多还省车费。 书的内容直得一读[BJTJ]，阅读了一下，写得很好，[NRJJ]，内容也很丰富。[QY]，一本书多读几次，[SZ]。 快递送货也很快。还送货上楼。非常好。 [SM]，超值。买书就来来京东商城。价格还比别家便宜，还免邮费不错，速度还真是快而且都是正版书。[BJTJ]，买回来觉得还是非常值的。我喜欢看书，喜欢看各种各样的书，看的很杂，文学名著，流行小说都看，只要作者的文笔不是太差，总能让我从头到脚看完整本书。只不过很多时候是当成故事来看，看完了感叹一番也就丢下了。所在来这里买书是非常明智的。然而，目前社会上还有许多人被一些价值不大的东西所束缚，却自得其乐，还觉得很满足。经过几百年的探索和发展，人们对物质需求已不再迫切，但对于精神自由的需求却无端被抹杀了。总之，我认为现代人最缺乏的就是一种开阔进取，寻找最大自由的精神。 中国人讲“虚实相生，天人合一”的思想，“于空寂处见流行，于流行处见空寂”，从而获得对于“道”的体悟，“唯道集虚”。这在传统的艺术中得到了充分的体现，因此中国古代的绘画，提倡“留白”、“布白”，用空白来表现丰富多彩的想象空间和广博深广的人生意味，体现了包纳万物、吞吐一切的胸襟和情怀。让我得到了一种生活情趣和审美方式，伴着笔墨的清香，细细体味，那自由孤寂的灵魂，高尚清真的人格魅力，在寻求美的道路上指引着我，让我抛弃浮躁的世俗，向美学丛林的深处迈进。合上书，闭上眼，书的余香犹存，而我脑海里浮现的，是一个“皎皎明月，仙仙白云，鸿雁高翔，缀叶如雨”的冲淡清幽境界。愿我们身边多一些主教般光明的使者，有更多人能加入到助人为乐、见义勇为的队伍中来。社会需要这样的人，世界需要这样的人，只有这样我们才能创造我们的生活，[NRJJ]希望下次还呢继续购买这里的书籍，这里的书籍很好，非常的不错，。给我带来了不错的现实享受。希望下次还呢继续购买这里的书籍，这里的书籍很好，非常的不错，。给我带来了不错的现实享受。

在这个典型的英国中产阶级家庭里，威廉·戈尔丁度过了宁静而孤单的童年。由于外出时永远有父母或保姆相伴，戈尔丁在上小学前没有结识过家庭成员之外的任何人。他很小就开始读书，却不擅长数学。他自己曾回忆，童年时他喜爱文学，“象集邮或采鸟蛋那样搜集词汇”。他熟读所有儿童文学，包括古希腊至现代的一切童话故事。12岁时，戈尔丁开始动手尝试小说创作，计划写一部关于工会运动史的长篇巨著，可惜这部书没有完成。戈尔丁的家庭后来搬到马尔波罗，他就在马尔波罗的语言学校就学。在从父亲任教的马尔波罗中学毕业后，1930年遵父命入牛津大学布拉西诺斯学院学习自然科学，两年之后，戈尔丁终于发现理科不是他所喜爱的专业，转而攻读英国文学——这两方面的影响在他后来的大部分作品中都常有反映。他悉心研究盎格鲁一撒克逊时代的历史，这段学习对他后来的文学创作影响很大。1935年，戈尔丁大学毕业，获得英文学士学位和一份教学许可证。1934年，在毕业的前一年，戈尔丁出版了处女作——一本题为《诗集》的小册子，包括29首小诗的诗集，被收入新星诗人丛书中（麦克米伦当代诗丛之一），其中显示了他的写作才华。毕业后，他做了4年社会工作，从事包括写作、表演，在一家小剧院当过临时演员、导演和编剧等各种工作。1939年，他同安·布鲁克菲尔德结婚，并步父辈的后尘，并在英国南部萨利斯布里的一所教会学校——霍兹霍斯主教中学任英文与哲学讲师。第二次世界大战的爆发打破了戈尔丁的平静生活，1940年戈尔丁以中尉军衔加入了英国皇家海军直接参战。作为战舰的指挥官，他亲身经历了许多难忘的战斗，他参加了击沉德军战列舰俾斯麦号的战役。随后他又参加了诺曼底登陆。战争结束后，戈尔丁于1945年退役，他重又回到该教会学校执教，教授英国文学，并坚持业余写作。经过战争，他对人类的看法完全改变了。以后他就开始了小说创作，从《蝇王》到《纸人》，展现了人的本质是罪恶的观念。
