Par William Golding, Lola Tranec. 1956
" Une bande de garçons de six à douze ans se trouve jetée par un naufrage sur une île déserte…
montagneuse, où poussent des arbres tropicaux et gîtent des animaux sauvages. L'aventure apparaît d'abord aux enfants comme de merveilleuses vacances. On peut se nourrir de fruits, se baigner, jouer à Robinson. Mais il faut s'organiser. Suivant les meilleures traditions des collèges anglais, on élit un chef. C'est Ralph, qui s'entoure de Porcinet, l'intellectuel un peu ridicule, et de Simon. Mais bientôt un rival de Ralph se porte à la tête d'une bande rivale, et la bagarre entre les deux bandes devient rapidement si grave que Simon et Porcinet sont tués. Ralph échappe de justesse, sauvé par l'arrivée des adultes. Ce roman remarquable a un sens allégorique qu'il n'est pas difficile de comprendre : c'est l'aventure des sociétés humaines qui est tragiquement mise en scène par les enfants. Mais l'ouvre vaut avant tout par la description de leur comportement et par l'atmosphère de joie, de mystère et d'effroi qui la baigne. " -- 4e de couv. Titre uniforme: Lord of the flies.Rose's run

One night Joe makes a drunken pass at his best friend Benjy and, by the next morning, everyone on the rez is talking about Joe. His mother, a devout Christian, is horrified, and the kids who are supposed to be his friends make it clear there's no place for him in their circle, or even on the rez. Joe thinks about killing himself, but instead runs away to the city. Alone and penniless on the streets of Toronto, Joe comes to identify with the Aboriginal idea of having two spirits, or combining both feminine and masculine identities in one person. He also begins to understand more about how his parents have been affected by their own experiences as children in residential schools -- something never discussed on the rez.
