   Among the best selling novels of all times Lord of the Flies is a novel by Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding about a group of British schoolboys stuck on a deserted island who try to govern themselves, with disastrous results. Its stances on the already controversial subjects of human nature and individual welfare versus the common good earned it position 68 on the American Library Association’s list of the 100 most frequently challenged books of 1990–1999. In 2005, the novel was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005 and was awarded a place on both lists of Modern Library 100 Best Novels, reaching 41 on the editor's list, and #25 on the reader's list.

   The book summary indicates that it takes place in the midst of an unspecified nuclear war, perhaps implicitly relating the savagery of the children characters to the warfare of adults. Some of the marooned characters are ordinary students, while others arrive as a musical choir under an established leader. Most appear never to have encountered each other before. Its started like, In the midst of a wartime evacuation a British plane crashes on an isolated island. The only survivors are male children below age 13.
