His best-known works include \u003ci\u003eThe Day of the Triffids\u003c\/i\u003e (1951) and \u003ci\u003eThe Midwich Cuckoos\u003c\/i\u003e (1957). A pacifist and socialist, Wyndham was alive to the impact of sexism, classism, and prejudice and his novels reflect his liberal politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.9 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42732271665215,"sku":"9780593596609","price":22.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/52e7d23af5eacf0f818a6df883ef3dbb.webp?v=1765131896","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/foul-play-suspected-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
