Published in 2021, Marc Morris's ‘The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England: 400–1066’ delivers an electrifying narrative of how, in the chaos following Rome's fall, a fragmented Britain was fiercely forged into a unified nation by warrior kings, visionary saints, and relentless battles, laying the very foundations of England.
Book Summary:
“A sweeping and original history of the Anglo-Saxons by national bestselling author Marc Morris.
Sixteen hundred years ago Britain left the Roman Empire and swiftly fell into ruin. Grand cities and luxurious villas were deserted and left to crumble, and civil society collapsed into chaos. Into this violent and unstable world came foreign invaders from across the sea, and established themselves as its new masters.a
The Anglo-Saxons traces the turbulent history of these people across the next six centuries. It explains how their earliest rulers fought relentlessly against each other for glory and supremacy, and then were almost destroyed by the onslaught of the vikings. It explores how they abandoned their old gods for Christianity, established hundreds of churches and created dazzlingly intricate works of art. It charts the revival of towns and trade, and the origins of a familiar landscape of shires, boroughs and bishoprics.
It is a tale of famous figures like King Offa, Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor, but also features a host of lesser known characters - ambitious queens, revolutionary saints, intolerant monks and grasping nobles. Through their remarkable careers we see how a new society, a new culture and a single unified nation came into being.
Drawing on a vast range of original evidence - chronicles, letters, archaeology and artefacts - renowned historian Marc Morris illuminates a period of history that is only dimly understood, separates the truth from the legend, and tells the extraordinary story of how the foundations of England were laid.”

#england_zubairsbookshelf ( 1911-1993；1983年諾貝爾文學獎)《蒼蠅王》/《蠅王》 ("Lord of the Flies" 1954 台北志文，新潮世界名著 11，1984)
王文興《蒼蠅王》中的兩個中心主題——威廉．高汀作品中的「人類文明形成和人性的基惡」〉Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe Edition 2016
蠍神 / 高汀(William Golding) ; 楊耐冬譯
『蠅の王』（はえのおう、原題：Lord of the Flies）は、1954年出版のウィリアム・ゴールディングの小説。題名の「蠅の王」とは、聖書に登場する悪魔であるベルゼブブを指しており[1]、作品中では蠅が群がる豚の生首を「蠅の王」と形容している。《蒼蠅王》是威廉‧戈爾丁於 1954 年出版的小說。 《蒼蠅王》這個標題指的是《聖經》中出現的惡魔別西卜[1]，而作品中，被斬首的豬頭上滿是蒼蠅，被描述為《蠅王》 .”
大學畢業後，他成為城市教會社區服務人，然後加入皇家海軍，後來他擔任中尉，指揮一艘火箭發射艦，參加了 1944 年的諾曼第登陸，並對航海和海洋產生了持久的熱愛。在他職業生涯的早期，他在倫敦教授英語和哲學、表演、導演和寫作。
After college, he became a settlement house worker and then joined the Royal Navy. He served as a lieutenant commanding a rocket-firing ship, took part in the 1944 Normandy landings and developed an enduring love of sailing and the sea. Early in his career he took up teaching English and philosophy, acting, directing and writing in London.
「第二次世界大戰對我來說是一個轉捩點，」他說。 “我開始看到人們有能力做什麼。那些年裡，任何人如果不明白人類製造邪惡就像蜜蜂生產蜂蜜一樣，那麼他一定是盲目的或頭腦錯誤的。”還有一次，他說：“小心，”他說，“邪惡就在我們所有人之中。”
《蒼蠅王》21 次拒絕之後，最終於 1954 年作為他出版的第一本書出版，並且仍然是他最受歡迎的書。翻譯成 26 種語言，銷售數百萬冊，並成為大學和高中閱讀清單的標準。
它描繪了一群正派的英國男學生，在全球原子戰爭期間因飛機失事被困在荒島上，失去了社會束縛，回歸到令人毛骨悚然的部落野蠻行徑。

Lord of the Flies: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Paperback – Deckle Edge, 2016年 11月 15日
作者 William Golding (Author), Stephen King (Introduction), Lois Lowry (Foreword), & 2 更多
****
William Golding’s unforgettable classic of boyhood adventure and the savagery of humanity comes to Penguin Classics in a stunning Graphic Deluxe Edition with a new foreword by Lois Lowry
As provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, Lord of the Flies continues to ignite passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. William Golding’s compelling story about a group of very ordinary boys marooned on a coral island has been labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, and even a vision of the apocalypse. But above all, it has earned its place as one of the indisputable classics of the twentieth century for readers of any age.
This Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe Edition features an array of special features to supplement the novel, including a foreword by Lois Lowry, an introduction by Stephen King, an essay by E. M. Forster, an essay on teaching and reading the novel and suggestions for further exploration by scholar Jennifer Buehler, and an extended note by E. L. Epstein, the publisher of the first American paperback edition of Lord of the Flies.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
Satan and Beelzebub, the captains of Hell in Paradise Lost by John Milton雖然它是19世紀之前流行“羅賓索納德”的衍生作品，如儒勒·凡爾納的《十五男孩的遠方》和羅伯特·邁克爾·巴蘭坦的《珊瑚島，它是這本書的悲劇發展與那些作品完全相反。
一架載著兒童前往疏散區以避免戰鬥的飛機墜入大海。船上所有成年人都死了，所有男孩都活了下來。他們被遺棄在南太平洋的一個荒島上，他們在拉爾夫和小豬周圍制定了規則 ，並試圖透過繼續點燃燈塔來等待救援。
起初，男孩們互相合作，但原本與拉爾夫關係並不好的男孩傑克不喜歡拉爾夫成為眾人矚目的焦點，一心想在一個不需要他的小島上自由地生活。自己的狩獵隊吧。傑克整天和狩獵隊的成員一起閒逛，透過狩獵豬，他開始獲得美味佳餚，最後拉爾夫隊伍中的男孩們也開始被他的魅力所吸引。
同時，一艘船經過島嶼的海岸，但由於當天值班的人忘記點燃旗幟，船經過時沒有註意到男孩們的存在。這引起了拉爾夫派系的衝突。似乎是為了利用這個機會，傑克展現了他的魅力，以至於吸引了拉爾夫的朋友們。狩獵隊裡的男孩們逐漸覺醒了內心的獸性，臉上塗滿了泥漆，變成了野蠻人的樣子，直到一群人最終抓住了他們的朋友 西蒙
拉爾夫因傑克而失去了大部分朋友，而他唯一的盟友小豬則被傑克的追隨者羅傑用石頭砸在了他的頭上，殺死了他，只剩下他一個人。第二天，為了消滅拉爾夫這個可能威脅他成為國王的天堂的最大麻煩，傑克命令他的狩獵隊將一根樹枝磨成矛並殺死拉爾夫。儘管拉爾夫因被孤立而感到恐懼和悲傷，但他最終還是在傑克和他的狩獵隊放火焚燒森林的情況下繞島奔跑。
然而，放火後，拉爾夫和他的朋友被救援隊發現並獲救。拉爾夫淚流滿面地告訴大人們，他努力遵守規則，過著有秩序的生活，但死者再也沒有回來。
