Lord of the Flies Aimée de Jongh

Long before The Hunger Games and Battle Royale, there was Lord of the Flies. A group of children must survive on a tropical island after a plane crash. There are no adults to help them. Blue skies, yellow beaches, few threats: it seems an idyllic place. But it doesn’t take long before their carefree life turns into a nightmare. What happens when children, young and innocent, are at the mercy of each other? Nobel Prize winner William Golding shows us his vision of humanity in Lord of the Flies, a vision that reached an audience of millions after its original publication in 1954, and that is still relevant today. In honor of its 70th anniversary, the classic is now being published for the first time as a graphic novel, written and drawn by Dutch comics author Aimée de Jongh. With the bestseller Dagen van Zand she already managed to reach a large audience worldwide and won numerous prizes. With Lord of the Flies she surpasses herself. De Jongh had wanted to make this graphic novel for 10 years. Now, with the blessing of the Golding family, it has finally happened.
