Il giorno dei trifidi

Questa serie approfondisce gli oscuri segreti della natura e l'arroganza umana di fronte a una catastrofe globale. Quando l'umanità viene improvvisamente colpita da cecità, piante apparentemente innocue si trasformano in terrificanti predatori. La sopravvivenza della civiltà è appesa a un filo mentre i superstiti devono affrontare non solo un nuovo e spaventoso mondo, ma anche i propri errori. Serve come un gelido monito ecodistopico sulla sfruttamento sconsiderato del nostro pianeta.

The London he walks is crammed with groups of men and women needing help, some ready to prey on those who can still see. But another menace stalks blind and sighted alike. With nobody to stop their spread the Triffids, mobile plants with lethal stingers and carnivorous appetites, seem set to take control. "The Day of the Triffids" is perhaps the most famous catastrophe novel of the twentieth century and its startling imagery of desolate streets and lurching, lethal plant life retains its power to haunt today.
