  <default_description>Eight Neanderthals encounter another race of beings like themselves, yet strangely different. This new race, Homo sapiens, fascinating in their skills and sophistication, terrifying in their cruelty, sense of guilt, and incipient corruption, spell doom for the more gentle folk whose world they will inherit. 

Golding, author of Lord of the Flies, won the 1983 Nobel Prize for Literature.</default_description>
