Aku suka jalanan, karena jalanan selalu membuatku bertanya-tanya apa yang ada di ujungnya," demikian si Gadis Pendongeng pernah berkata, lama berselang. Musim semi itu, Beverly King juga tak tahu apa yang menanti di ujung jalan yang akan membawanya ke pertanian keluarga King di Pulau Prince Edward. Bev sudah sering mendengar ayahnya bercerita tentang rumah tempat dia dibesarkan; tentang pohon willow besar di gerbang, tentang kebun buah King yang terkenal, atau tentang para paman dan bibi. Tapi merasakan sendiri semua keajaiban di tanah keluarga King ternyata jauh lebih menakjubkan. Apalagi hari-hari itu akan ia habiskan bersama para sepupu dan teman-teman. Bev mencatat semua kejadian luar biasa sepanjang tahun itu, juga salah satu hal terpenting... bertemu si Gadis Pendongeng dan mendengarkan kisah-kisah yang diceritakannya dengan suara emasnya yang misterius. Kisah-kisah yang didongengkan dengan begitu indah sehingga para pendengarnya terisap ke dalam jalinan kata, dan serasa bertemu muka dengan para pahlawan, putri, dewa, bahkan sang Kematian sendiri!

William Golding's unforgettable classic of boyhood adventure and the savagery of humanity comes to Penguin Classics in a stunning Graphic Deluxe Edition with a new foreword by Lois Lowry As provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, Lord of the Flies continues to ignite passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. William Golding's compelling story about a group of very ordinary boys marooned on a coral island has been labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, and even a vision of the apocalypse. But above all, it has earned its place as one of the indisputable classics of the twentieth century for readers of any age. This Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe Edition features an array of special features to supplement the novel, including a foreword by Lois Lowry, an introduction by Stephen King, an essay by E. M. Forster, an essay on teaching and reading the novel and suggestions for further exploration by scholar Jennifer Buehler, and an extended note by E. L. Epstein, the publisher of the first American paperback edition of Lord of the Flies. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators
