ABOUT THE AUTHOR

John Wyndham

John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris, nasceu no Reino Unido, em Knowle a 10 de Julho de 1903, tendo vindo a falecer em 1969. Após ter tentado várias profissões, John Wyndham começou a escrever na década de 1930, mas o seu primeiro grande êxito deveu-o a O Dia das Trífides, publicado em 1951. Seguem-se diversos outros títulos, que inspiraram várias versões cinematográficas. O aspecto mais impresionante das suas obras é o facto de os invasores alienígenas não se apresentarem como monstros, mas surgirem discretamente dentro da normalidade do quotidiano. Interessante também, nas suas obras, é a visionária lucidez com que denuncia a exploração dos recursos ambientais pela humanidade.
