Men at Arms de Terry Pratchett

Men at Arms: Harper

Autor Terry Pratchett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iul 2024

A paperback edition with the original cover art of the classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the second book in the City Watch series, part of the Discworld novels.

'Funny, wise and mock heroic . . . the best-crafted book I have read all year' Sunday Express

'Pratchett at his best' 5-star reader review

'People ought to think for themselves ... The problem is, people only think for themselves if you tell them to.'

Times are a-changing in Ankh-Morpork's Night Watch.

New recruits have been hired to reflect the city's diversity, including Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf), Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), and Lance-constable Angua (a woman ... full moons aside).

What's more, Captain Sam Vimes is getting married and retiring from the Watch. For good. Which is a shame, because no one knows the streets of Ankh-Morpork or its criminal underworld better than him.

And someone armed and dangerous has been getting ideas about power and destiny and lost kings, committing a string of seemingly random murders across the city.

The new recruits will need to learn fast ...

Men At Arms is the second book in the City Watch series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Praise for the Discworld series:

'[Pratchett's] spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday

'Pratchett is a master storyteller' Guardian

'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin

'One of those rare writers who appeals to everyone' Daily Express

'One of the most consistently funny writers around' Ben Aaronovitch

'Masterful and brilliant' Fantasy & Science Fiction

'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own... he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable' The Times

'The best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse' The Sunday Telegraph

'Nothing short of magical' Chicago Tribune

'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX

'[Discworld is] compulsively readable, fantastically inventive, surprisingly serious exploration in story form of just about any aspect of our world...There's never been anything quite like it' Evening Standard

Notă biografică

Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Both cutting and laugh-out-loud, this is Sir Terry Pratchett at his best, shining a light upon the real world through a pageturning adventure across the streets of Ankh-Morpork

'This book has so much more than most. Excellent read, absolutely worth your time' Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind
'Funny in a clever, scholarly, satire sort of way, with an occasional bad pun or lowbrow shot to keep you on your toes . . . If you, like me, have been living in a hole and ignoring Pratchett, then this is a good one with which to start' Brandon Sanderson, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Stormlight Archive
'Be a MAN in the City Watch! The City Watch needs MEN!'
But what it's got includes Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf), Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), Lance-constable Angua (a woman... most of the time) and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving).
And they need all the help they can get. Because they've only got 24 hours to clean up the town and this is Ankh-Morpork we're talking about...
Readers love Men At Arms:
'In the running for the funniest book of all time . . . Fans of fantasy or just fans of laughing need to stop what they are doing and read both this book' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'While holding a mirror to the unsettling bits of ourselves still manages easily and seemingly effortlessly to shine with hope and kindness and sarcasm-tinged deep understanding of humanity. That's quintessential Terry Pratchett for you' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'This book was just so well written, and the characters in the Night Watch including the new recruits are so well formed after even only a couple of pages' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'The humour is dark, the action breathtaking, the characters lively. I laughed and cried almost through the entire book and was once again astonished how on-point the author was about current events and human nature' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'Delightful and a great attack on the ridiculousness and danger of personal firearms' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'I definitely urge anyone who enjoys fantasy, adventure, humor, satire and a touch of hard boiled mystery to check this one out asap' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
