Moving Pictures

Autor Terry Pratchett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iul 2025

A paperback edition with the original cover art of the classic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, a standalone Discworld novel.

'Funny, delightfully inventive, and refuses to lie down in its genre' Observer

'Fantastic, funny fantasy from the master. I enjoyed it from start to finish' 5-star reader review

'Holy wood is a different sort of place . . . Here, the most important thing is to be important.'

A new phenomenon is taking over the Discworld: moving pictures.

Created by the alchemists of Ankh-Morpork, the growing 'clicks' industry moves to the sandy land of Holy Wood, attracted by the light of the sun and some strange calling no one can quite put their finger on...

Also drawn to Holy Wood are aspiring young stars Victor Tugelbend, a wizarding student dropout, and Theda 'Ginger' Withel, a small-town girl with big dreams.

But behind the glitz and glamour of the clicks, a sinister presence lurks. Because belief is powerful in the Discworld, and sometimes downright dangerous...

The magic of movies might just unravel reality itself.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Moving Pictures is a standalone.

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.
