William Golding's unforgettable classic of boyhood adventure and the savagery of humanity comes to Penguin Classics in a stunning Graphic Deluxe Edition with a foreword by Lois Lowry.

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. William Golding's compelling story about a group of very ordinary small boys marooned on a coral island has been labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, and even a vision of the apocalypse, but above all it has earned its place as one of the indisputable classics of the 20th century for readers of any age.

This Graphic Deluxe Edition celebrates the addition of Golding's novel to the Penguin Classics list with a host of special features: a foreword by Lois Lowry, an introduction by Stephen King, an essay by E. M Forster, an essay on YA literature and suggestions for further reading by scholar Jennifer Buehler, and an extended note by E. L. Epstein from the original edition.
