The collection presents the first three (and, according to many critics, the BEST) novels by Golding. They are united by the theme of survival, doom, and loneliness of man in a changing world – aggravated by the inevitability of God's punishment for cowardice and the inability to look one's own self in the eye. Lord of the Flies is a bestseller, included in the required reading program of many English and American schools, has been filmed four times, and the total circulation has exceeded 100 million copies. The Descendants and Martin the Thief are highly acclaimed works by critics, which have influenced the work of many modern writers – from Martin Amis to Stephen King.
