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.
