Description	The Wind from Nowhere, first published in 1961 is the debut novel by English author J.G. Ballard. Prior to this, his published work had consisted solely of short stories.The novel was the first of a series of Ballard novels dealing with scenarios of "natural disaster", in this case seeing civilization reduced to ruins by prolonged worldwide hurricane force winds.As an added dimension Ballard explores the ways in which disaster and tragedy can bond people together in ways that no normal experiences ever could. This, too, is a recurring theme in his works, making one of its first appearances here. Some critics have suggested that his first four novels are based on elemental themes, showing global destruction by air, water, fire and earth.Written in ten days, Ballard later dismissed this novel as a "piece of hackwork", referring instead to The Drowned World as his first novel.
