Equal Rites: Discworld: The Witches Collection: Discworld

Autor Terry Pratchett
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 apr 2014

A laugh-out-loud, perceptive and thought-provoking fantasy romp dismantling the ridiculousness of gender inequality



'Granny Weatherwax is one of my favourite characters of Pratchett's' Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind

'Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd' Sunday Times

It is known as the Discworld. It is a flat planet, supported on the backs of four elephants, who in turn stand on the back of the great turtle A'Tuin as it swims majestically through space. And it is quite possibly the funniest place in all of creation.

The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby's sex...

Terry Pratchett turns his acute satirical eye on sexual equality and chauvinism in his hilarious third Discworld novel.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent, bestselling novels have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to the likes of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.
In Equal Rites, a dying wizard tries to pass on his powers to an eighth son of an eighth son, who is just at that moment being born. The fact that the son is actually a daughter is discovered just a little too late.
