This podcast is about William Golding’s 1954 novel “Lord of the Flies”. It narrates a story about children that find themselves alone after a plain crash on a deserted island. They develop a system of hierarchy and organization, with rules and division of labor. Since there was no supervision or assistance of any adult, the children become savages and violent. In this podcast I give a quick summary of the book, analyzing Golding’s masterpiece throughout it, giving my point of view towards the subject.

In this episode, I analyze Bernhard Schlink’s novel “The Reader”. Michael Berg is the main character and the narrator. He tells the story of the post-war Germany, when he falls in love with Hanna Schmitz, a woman twice his age. Although there is a big age gap and social class difference, they live a quite beautiful love story. But one day, Hanna simply disappears, leaving young Michael alone and with his heartbroken. He next sees her when she is on trial for Nazi post-war crimes, but she refuses to defend herself. She guards a secret more she judges to be more shameful than murder—illiteracy and war crimes.
