Lord of the Flies - fragments
 

He jumped down from the terrace. The sand was thick over his black shoes and the heat hit him. He became conscious of the weight of clothes, kicked his shoes off fiercely and ripped off each stocking with its elastic garter in a single movement. Then he leapt back on the terrace, pulled off his shirt, and stood there among the skull-like coconuts with green shadows from the palms and the forest sliding over his skin. He undid the snake-clasp of his belt, lugged off his shorts and pants, and stood there naked, looking at the dazzling beach and the water.

Sari de pe terasa. Stratul de nisip de pe pantofii sai era gros si caldura il izbi. Deveni constient de greutatea hainelor, isi azvarli pantofii cu furie si rupse dintr-o miscare fiecare ciorap prins cu jartiere de elastic. Apoi sari inapoi pe terasa, isi scoase camasa si ramase acolo, printre nucile de cocos in forma de cranii cu umbrele verzi ale palmierilor si ale padurii alunecandu-i peste piele. Deschise catarama in forma de sarpe a curelei isi scoase sortul si pantalonii si ranase acolo gol, privind plaja orbitoare si apa.
