Warner and Keith
Golding and World War II
The war," Golding said, "was unlike any other fought in Europe. It taught us not fighting, politics or the follies of nationalism, but about the given nature of man."
The Lord Of The Flies
William Golding won the nobel peace Prize For Literature in 1983
Evacuation Poster
The government of Britain sent out posters convincing mothers to send their children out of large cities (this one was for London)
Evacuation Pictures
The evacuation of children from big cities to rural areas.
William Golding
Golding himself said 'We need more humanity, more care, more love. There are those who expect a political system to produce that; and others who expect the love to produce the system. My own faith is that the truth of the future lies between the two and we shall behave humanly and a bit humanely, stumbling along, haphazardly generous and gallant, foolishly and meanly wise until the rape of our planet is seen to be the preposterous folly that it is.'
Cold War
There was distrust between Russia and Amercia during the 1950's (when the book was written) and William Golding may have written The Lord of the Flies so that man does not fall into the same trap of destruction as they did in World War II.
