Good Omens
Autor Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchetten Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 aug 2007
Există un semn al Armageddon-ului. Conform profeţiilor lui Agnes Nutter, Vrăjitoare (consemnată, din fericire, în 1655 înainte de a-și incendia întregul sat și toți locuitorii săi care se strâseseră pentru a o vedea arzând), lumea va lua sfârșit într-o zi de sâmbătă. Chiar sâmbăta viitoare.
Așa că forțele binelui și al răului se pregătesc, iar cei patru motocicliști ai Apocalipsei ambalează motoarele și pornesc la drum, iar ultimii doi vânători de vrăjitoare se antrenează pentru luptă.
Pentru ca Aziraphale și Crowley să stopeze această Apocalipsă, ei trebuie să îl găsească pe Anticrist și să îl ucidă. Dar totuși cineva a reușit să îl înlocuiască...deci pe cine căutăm?

Descriere scurtă
The classic collaboration from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now a Prime original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon!
"Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It’s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick."—Washington Post
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The irreverant, hilarious, touching and philosophical caper about the end of the world.
There is a hint of Armageddon in the air. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the Armies of Good and Evil are massing, the four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witchfinders are getting ready to Fight the Good Fight. Atlantis is rising. Frogs are falling. Tempers are flaring, and everything appears to be going to Divine Plan.
Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. They've lived amongst Humanity for millennia, and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle. So if Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the AntiChrist (which is a shame, really, as he's a nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him.
Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's brilliantly dark and funny take on mankind's final judgment is back, in a new hardcover edition which includes an introduction by the authors.
Readers can't get enough of Good Omens:
'This is actually a profound philosophical and theological treatise, exploring good and evil, nature versus nurture, free will, war, pollution, and organised religion . . . The writing is so like Douglas Adams that it could be mistaken for a missing volume of Hitchhiker's' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'Good Omens is a hysterically funny book . . . It is also a love letter to humanity and to the power of free will and choice in a world desperate to wrench it away. You should read it' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'If I were to pick a setting for a comedy, I'm not sure it would be Armageddon. However, in the talented minds of Pratchett and Gaiman, it's the perfect setting . . . just the right mix of clever, deadpan, sarcasm, innuendo, and self-deprecation' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'Has got to be one of the funniest satires I've ever read . . . This book is funny, irreverent, and at times surprisingly insightful' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'No getting around it, it IS funny! . . . The book is loaded with great characters, there's even a cute little dog, The Hound from Hell morphed into a cat chasing mongrel' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
The irreverant, hilarious, touching and philosophical caper about the end of the world.
