Gyermekkoromból kimaradt ez az olvasmány, most a kislányomtól kaptam :). Olyan jó volt egy talpraesett, udvarias kisfiúról olvasni, aki a rokonait tiszteli, a barátaira pedig a bajban is számíthat! Korhű, ugyanakkor kortárs olvasnivaló az író realisztikus humorával, kicsiknek és nagyoknak egyaránt remek szórakozást nyújtva! Kitűnő egy hosszabb vonatútra vagy egy rövidebb iskolai szünetre.

When I first saw the 1963 version of the film, directed by Peter Brook, I was impressed and decided to read the book. Since then, it is one of my favourites. It shows that people are fallen beings and it is amazing how the writer makes a parallel between society and the boys in the desert island. Each character and relationship can be found in a persons everyday lives, if we think a little bit deeper. The book looks like an adventure story as it starts. At the beginning we read about a group of British schoolboys, living in the middle of the war, who are evacuated from England. As their plane is shot down, they ditch near a remote island. They would like to survive, so they appoint a chief and try to make a civilised and cooperative society. Ralph becomes the leader of the group. He hopes for rescue and does everything for it. Ralph is the symbol of the good, he is civilised and he does not give up. Jack is another main character, however, he is the hunter and symbol of savage and uncivilised people. When Ralph and Jack work together, the society of the island is peaceful. They boys explore the island, hunt together, set fire and make rules together. Conflicts and problems appear when this cooperation ends. The group divides into two: those who are with Jack and, those who are in the group of Ralph. Symbols have an important role in the novel. It is interesting that Piggy is the weak, the outsider in the society. Nobody respects him, however boys could only set fire with his glasses. There is the conch, which transforms its environment, and only Ralph can use it properly. It shows that he is the perfect leader. The title is also a very important symbol in the book. The lord of the flies is a pigs head taken to a pale, around which there are many flies. This provides the boys safety from the mysterious monster, from their fears. The presence of violence appears when conflicts start, and it continues until the end. Games, hunts and murders become brutal. The story is even more though because we speak about children, who we tend to think as innocent youngsters. I recommend this book to people who like exciting novels with a lot of twists. In my opinion, the Lord of the Flies is not appropriate for children under the age of sixteen, because it is likely that they would only see the violence and brutality in it, not the moral teaching.
