Hothouse

Also known as The Long Afternoon of Earth.

Winner of the Hugo Award for the best science fiction Novel of the Year 1962.

The Sun is about to go Nova. Earth and Moon have ceased their axial rotation and present one face continuously to the sun. The bright side of Earth is covered with carnivorous forest. This is the Age of vegetables. Gren and his lady – not to mention the tummybelly men – journey to the even more terrifying Dark side. One of Aldiss' most famous and long-enduring novels, fast moving, packed with brilliant imagery.
