William Golding was born in Cornwall in 1911 and was educated at Marlborough Grammar School and at Brasenose College, Oxford. Before he became a schoolmaster he was an actor, a lecturer, a small-boat sailor and a musician. A now rare volume, Poems, appeared in 1934. In 1940 he joined the Royal Navy and saw action against battleships, submarines and aircraft. He was present at the sinking of the Bismarck. He finished the war as a Lieutenant in command of a rocket ship, which was off the French coast for the D-day invasion, and later at the island of Welcheren. After the war he returned to Bishop Wordsworth's School in Salisbury and was there when his first novel, Lord of the Flies, was published in 1954. He gave up teaching in 1961.
Lord of the Flies was filmed by Peter Brook in 1963. Golding listed his hobbies as music, chess, sailing, archaeology and classical Greek (which he taught himself). Many of these subjects appear in his essay collections The Hot Gates and A Moving Target. He won the Booker Prize for his novel Rites of Passage in 1980, and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983. He was knighted in 1988. He died at his home in the summer of 1993. The Double Tongue, a novel left in draft at his death, was published in June 1995. - See more at: http://www.faber.co.uk/catalog/author/william-golding#sthash.Hos5xYe4.dpuf

再一次回味《蝇王》,我知道诺贝尔有它永久的魅力。我十几岁时看的小说,其间翻腾了多少书籍,《蝇王》像一只叛逆而服贴的苍蝇一样粘在我胸口,时间越久,我越能回忆起当日看它的感觉。 最初是把它当儿童文学来读的,也许当时江南小城的书店营业员摆放的时候,不一留神把...
评分 评分 评分拉尔夫是书中的主角,理性而勇敢,有号召力和领导才干。他力主保存小火堆以争取获救,手持的海螺成为民主的象征物。但他拥有的的权力却非常脆弱,脆弱到难以维持一个求生的火堆。拉尔夫的内心同样有着阴影和黑暗,在一个风雨、雷电交加的夜晚,他不由自主地参与了对西蒙的迫害...
评分The Lord of Flies,在基督教传说中它是苍蝇之王Beelzebub,在某个著名游戏中它是大魔头Baal,在这部小说中它是一个叮满苍蝇的猪头。 “恶之出于人,犹如蜜之出于蜂!”Golding码了一生的英文单词,最后冷冷丢下这句话,不留一点余地;世人却早已见怪不怪。恶的故事,每天都已...

A plane crashes on an uninhabited island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast.
In this, his first novel, William Golding gave the traditional adventure story an ironic, devastating twist. The boys' delicate sense of order fades, and their childish fears are transformed into something deeper and more primitive. Their games take on a horrible significance, and before long the well-behaved party of schoolboys has turned into a tribe of faceless, murderous savages.
First published in 1954, Lord of the Flies is now recognized as a classic, one of the most celebrated of all modern novels.

就是这个封面是个猪头版的。在读中,想看看封面是猪头是不是因为piggy
评分读得辛苦而郁闷,说老实话,我很不喜欢这本书,给我的整体印象非常不好,虽然这是诺贝尔文学奖得主写的,虽然我明白它里面的深刻意义,但是不喜欢就是不喜欢。
评分lew给的时间太短,没来得及仔细体会就读完了。而且这本书的symbolism用得到处都是,说完全看懂了是假的。
评分不愧是諾貝爾文學獎的得主.
评分不是我喜欢的文风,那帮孩子有点烦,但确实是powerful literature
