William Golding – Lord of the Flies (Sineklerin Tanrısı) – Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları 2015 Edition
Description:
This is the 2015 Turkish edition of Lord of the Flies (Sineklerin Tanrısı) by William Golding, published by Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları. The Turkish translation is by Mina Urgan. This edition is part of the long-running Turkish publication history of one of the most important novels of modern English literature.
The novel begins when a group of schoolboys survive a plane crash and find themselves stranded on a deserted island without any adults. At first, they attempt to establish rules, organize themselves and maintain hope of rescue. Gradually, however, the struggle for leadership between Ralph and Jack and the growing fear of an imagined "beast" begin to break down their fragile social order. The island becomes a powerful setting for Golding's exploration of human nature, power, violence and the thin boundary between civilization and savagery.
First published in 1954, Lord of the Flies has become one of the defining allegorical novels of the 20th century. Its enduring appeal comes from the way a seemingly simple story about children on an island becomes a much darker examination of authority, group psychology, leadership and the capacity for violence within human beings.
