The Books Oracle
by William Golding
British schoolboys stranded on an island descend from civilization into savage tribalism, revealing the darkness lurking beneath the veneer of order. Golding's allegorical masterpiece is a harrowing examination of human nature, power, and the fragility of social contracts. A timeless exploration of how quickly civilization crumbles when stripped of its institutions.
