For every Pratchett fan, the must-have fully updated guidebook to Discworld!

It is also a global publishing phenomenon with sales of nearly 85 million books worldwide (and counting). With 39 books in the canon, not including the various guides, maps, diaries, and other tie-in volumes, there's a lot of Discworld to keep track of—more than most fans can manage without magic.
Turtle Recallis the ultimate authority on probably the most heavily populated—certainly the most hilarious—setting in fantasy literature and includes a guide to Discworld locales from Ankh-Morpork to Zemphis, as well as information to help you distinguish Achmed the Mad from Jack Zweiblumen and the Agatean Empire from the Zoons. Plus much, much more.
Covering everything fromThe Colour of Magic, the first Discworld novel, throughSnuff!,Turtle Recall: The Discworld Companion . . . So Faris the most up-to-the-minute encyclopedia of Terry Pratchett's extraordinary universe available.

Recenzii

“…[SNUFF is a] lively outing, complete with sly shout-outs to Jane Austen and gritty police procedurals.”
“Brilliantly complex.”
“The humor is sharp and the characters are charming, and the plight of the goblins creates moments of genuine pathos that are the highlight of the book.”
“In short, this is as busy and as daft as any other Discworld yarn, which means it is the quintessence of daft. Nobody writes fantasy funnier than Pratchett.”
