各界推薦

各界推薦 評論「《蒼蠅王》是我最喜愛的書籍之一。我至今每隔幾年都會重讀一次。」 — 蘇珊·柯林斯（Suzanne Collins），《飢餓遊戲》三部曲作者「這是我讀過的第一本伸出雙手——一雙有力的手，伸出書頁抓住我的喉嚨的書。它對我說：『這不僅僅是娛樂；這是生死攸關的大事。』……從那以後，五十多年來，我一直在思考這本書。」 — 史蒂芬·金（Stephen King）「這部傑出的作品是一個令人恐懼的諷刺，關於人類在（短短幾週內）回歸到他們花了數千年才擺脫的黑暗狀態。《蒼蠅王》做到了。一個成功的幻想故事必須非常接近現實。《蒼蠅王》做到了。它也必須寫得出色。《蒼蠅王》做到了。」 — 《紐約時報》書評（The New York Times Book Review）「以小說所能擁有的全部力量震撼著我……堪稱典範。」 — 伊恩·麥克伊旺（Ian McEwan），《贖罪》作者「一個在死亡的白熾眩光下逆光呈現的存在主義寓言。」 — 本·奧克里（Ben Okri），布克獎獲獎作家，《飢餓之路》作者Review"Lord of the Flies is one of my favorite books. I still read it every couple of years."—Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games trilogy"The first book with hands – strong ones that reached out of the pages and seized me by the throat. It said to me, ‘This is not just entertainment; it’s life or death.’ ... I’ve been thinking about it ever since, for fifty years and more."—Stephen King"This brilliant work is a frightening parody on man's return [in a few weeks] to that state of darkness from which it took him thousands of years to emerge. Fully to succeed, a fantasy must approach very close to reality. Lord of the Flies does. It must also be superbly written. It is."—The New York Times Book Review"Thrills me with all the power a fiction can have ... Exemplary." —Ian McEwan, author of Atonement"An existential fable backlit with death's incandescent glare." —Ben Okri, Booker Prize-winning author of The Famished Road.
