It was the voice of other.\" \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA Penguin Classic\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWilliam Golding considered \u003ci\u003eThe Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e his finest novel, a beautifully realized tale about the last days of the Neanderthal people and our fear of the \"other.\" The action is revealed through the eyes of the Neanderthals, whose peaceful world is threatened by the emergence of \u003ci\u003eHomo sapiens\u003c\/i\u003e. The struggle between the simple Neanderthals and the malevolent modern humans ends tragically. Featuring similar themes to \u003ci\u003eLord of the Flies\u003c\/i\u003e, although with very different content, \u003ci\u003eThe Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e is about the breakdown of a civilization and uncompromising savagery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter \u003ci\u003eLord of the Flies\u003c\/i\u003e, William Golding wrote novels that further explored the complexities of human nature, not only social tendencies but the psychological underpinnings of human consciousness. This edition provides a Suggestions for Further Exploration section that identifies key themes throughout Golding's novels--including \u003ci\u003eThe Inheritors\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in 1955--and connections to classic and contemporary fiction, nonfiction, film, and television. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePenguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
