About This Item
Synopsis
The Hot Gates is the title of a collection by William Golding, author of Lord of the Flies. The collection contains his childhood recollections "Billy the Kid" and "The Ladder and the Tree", and his essay "Fable", which answered questions about Lord of the Flies. The book starts out with an essay on the Battle of Thermopylae, which can be translated from ancient Greek to English as "hot gates", thus giving it the title.
