Lord of the Flies is an allegorical story about mankind's true savage nature. It was written by William Golding, who later won the Nobel Prize for Literature for his body of work. Much like many of his other novels, Lord of the Flies uses allegory to paint a very negative picture of the basic instincts of humanity. Though initially it did not sell well, it became required reading in most high school English classes and is now widely considered one of the greatest English-language books of all time. The story is still controversial, with some feeling that Golding's view of humanity was far too negative.
