A new educational edition, fully revised and updated with new material, and featuring artwork by the winner of the Faber/Guardian illustration competition.

Lord of the Flies is a novel that has captivated schoolchildren ever since it was first published in 1954. A teacher himself, Golding clearly understood what excites and interests children. It is not only a gripping story, with strong, sympathetic characters, but it also raises timeless and profound questions.

Part of its lasting appeal, particularly in schools, surely arises from the way it tackles universal issues.The novel is a catalyst for thought-provoking discussion and analysis, not only concerning the capabilities of humans for good and evil and the fragility of moral inhibition, but beyond. The boys' struggle to find a way of existing in a community with no fixed boundaries invites readers to evaluate the concepts involved in social and political constructs and moral frameworks. Ideas of community, leadership, and the rule of law are called into question as the reader has to consider who has a right to power, why, and what the consequences of the acquisition of power may be. All of these concerns are current today and can be easily related to the novel through effective teaching and learning.

This new educational edition encourages original and independent thought from students, as well as guiding them through the text. The introductory material includes a biographical section on William Golding as well as providing information about the novel's historical context, which will be ideal for students completing GCSE and A-Level courses. At the end of the text there are chapter summaries, comprehension questions, discussion points and activities plus a glossary of less familiar words or phrases. This new edition includes William Golding's essay on Lord of the Flies, 'Fable'. All of these are intended to inspire and generate creative teaching, learning and love of the novel.

Thought provoking. Absorbing. Took me a while to get around to reading it, but I'm glad I finally did. Will read it again.

Helpful GCSE Aid.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2018

Verified Purchase

A nice edition. The book is included in its entirety without any breaks for the study notes and questions. These are all included after the novel so if you wished you could read the book without ever referring to them. However, the thought provoking questions and short summaries are useful. Particularly good is a short "dictionary" explaining some of the words and terms which are now a little aged. Definitely worth an extra pound or two for a teenager (my son) studying for GCSE.
It goes without saying its a good story but you knew that.

Educational Edition is great!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2019

Verified Purchase

This is for my daughter whose teacher suggested she read it. This is the particular ‘educational edition’ I was looking for as it has a helpful glossary and study material in the back of the book. Amazon is a bit confusing sometimes as the reviews for ‘Lord of the Flies’ are on ALL editions of this book. I recommend THIS version for study purposes. I’m very pleased.

Lord of the Flies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 November 2017

Verified Purchase

A literary great, LotF explores the complexity of society through tweens. Despite some flaws in the plot, and a anticlimatic ending, the book is absolutely loaded with complex techniques that allow for one to interpret in so many ways. This makes an easy book to write about in an exam, which I presume the target customer for this book will be people doing exams as it is an educational edition. Anyway, the difference between this and a normal copy is that this has a chapter summary, and detailed questions for each chapter. This might sound useless, but trust me, it isn't. It's a great revision resource and allows you to expand your viewpoint of the novel.

4.5/5

I was confused but my son loved it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 January 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this book expecting to read about the adventures of a down-at-heel peer of the realm working at a landfill site. However, it turned out to be about a group of children marooned on an island who have to fend for themselves. It explores the conflicting human impulses toward civilisation and social organisation—living by rules, peacefully and in harmony—and toward Nietzsche's will to power.

Despite the confusion my 11 year old son loved it.

Duped! Don't trust photo or description

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2020

Verified Purchase

For total price (item+p&p) could have got newer edition. The picture of the item they used was of the newer edition so I feel duped. Not worth the return p+p to get refund. Just be careful. I won't trust again. Total of this book + replacement is been better to buy new.
