Synopsis "Lord of the Flies "

Golding's iconic 1954 novel, now with a new foreword by Lois Lowry, remains one of the greatest books ever written for young adults and an unforgettable classic for readers of any age. This edition includes a new Suggestions for Further Reading by Jennifer Buehler.At the dawn of the next world war, a plane crashes on an uncharted island, stranding a group of schoolboys. At first, with no adult supervision, their freedom is something to celebrate. This far from civilization they can do anything they want. Anything. But as order collapses, as strange howls echo in the night, as terror begins its reign, the hope of adventure seems as far removed from reality as the hope of being rescued.

Lois Lowry (March 20, 1973, Honolulu, Hawaii) is an American children's literature writer, best known for her work The Giver. Born into a family of Norwegian and German origin, her childhood was marked by constant relocations due to her father's military career, which led her to live in places as diverse as New York, Pennsylvania, or Japan. From a very young age, Lowry showed a passion for reading and writing, and knew early on that she wanted to be an author.

Lowry studied at Brown University, although she interrupted her studies to get married and start a family. Later, she resumed her education and earned a bachelor's degree in English literature from the University of Southern Maine in 1972.

She began her career as a photographer and freelance journalist in the 1970s. Her work caught the attention of Houghton Mifflin, who encouraged her to write her first children's book. Author of more than 30 books for young readers including "The Giver" and "A Summer to Die". She has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Newbery Medal for The Giver.

No es el mismo de la portada, pero finalmente si es el mismo título en inglés. Está en excelente estado y llegó antes del tiempo programado.
