Synopsis
2021 MARKS THE 70th ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS, THE MOST FAMOUS CATASTROPHE NOVEL OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
'When a day that you happen to know is Wednesday starts off by sounding like Sunday, there is something seriously wrong somewhere.'
When a freak cosmic event renders most of the Earth's population blind, Bill Masen - one of the lucky few to keep his sight - finds himself trapped in a London jammed with sightless mobs who prey on those who can still see. But another menace stalks blind and sighted alike. With nobody to stop them the Triffids - walking carnivorous plants with lethal stingers - rise up as humanity stumbles and falls . . .
With its startling imagery of desolate streets and lurching, The Day of the Triffid's lethal plant life retains its power to haunt today.
'One of those books that haunts you for the rest of your life' Sunday Times
'Has captivated readers for over half a century' Guardian

Etat : Bueno. : En un mundo devastado por una lluvia de meteoritos que ha dejado ciega a la mayoría de la población, Bill Masen es uno de los pocos afortunados que conserva la vista. En Londres, se encuentra rodeado de personas que necesitan ayuda, pero también de aquellos que se aprovechan de los demás. Sin embargo, una nueva amenaza acecha: los Trífidos, plantas móviles con aguijones letales y apetito carnívoro, parecen decididos a tomar el control. Esta novela de John Wyndham, publicada en 1951, es una reflexión sobre la individualidad y los peligros de la tecnología militar, con imágenes impactantes de calles desoladas y plantas letales que siguen siendo relevantes en la actualidad.
