In 1951, John Wyndham published 'The Day of the Triffids', a science fiction story that, fifty years later, has become a classic. Bill Masen wakes up in a hospital after missing a spectacular meteor shower. When he removes his bandages, he discovers that most people have gone blind. Together with Josella, another survivor, he will face a post-apocalyptic world dominated by the triffids, strange plants capable of moving and killing with their poisonous stingers. Wyndham anticipates biological warfare and mass destruction in this chilling novel.
