Terry Pratchett

To the consternation of the patrician, Lord Vetinari, a new invention has arrived in Ankh-Morpork â?? a great clanging monster of a machine that harnesses the power of all of the elements: earth, air, fire and water.

Widely thought of as the best book Terry Pratchett ever wrote, this is a story of a Nation, a story of a friendship, a story of growing up and the truths we must learn. It is epic in every sense . . . Prepare for the world to be turned upside down . . . For Mau, halfway between boy and man, it happens when a great wave destroys his entire village. For Daphne, it’s when the same wave crashes her ship into the island that was once Mau’s home. Everything they once had is now so far away, lost to distance and time. But when Daphne stops trying to shoot Mau (she did apologise for it), and instead uses a salvaged invitation card to invite him to tea, they discover a new home can be theirs. And then people start arriving on the island – some very good, some very bad. And it’s soon clear that Daphne and Mau must fight for their Nation. Then a discovery is made that will change the entire world forever . . .

Kultklassiker om hvor galt det kan gå når selveste Antikrist ender opp hos en helt gjennomsnittlig middelklassefamilie. Endelig på norsk! Ifølge heksen Agnes Nutters profetier kommer verden til å gå under på lørdag, rett etter tetid. Uheldigvis er Antikrist på feil sted, Apokalypsens fire ryttere er ute og kjører motorsykkel, og representantene fra himmel og helvete har funnet ut at de faktisk liker menneskerasen. Neil Gaiman ble født i England i 1960, men har de siste årene bodd i USA. Etter at han slo gjennom med tegneserien Sandman, har han skrevet en rekke kritikerroste bøker for barn og voksne, inkludert Neverwhere, Stjernestøv, Amerikanske guder, Kirkegårdsboken og Coraline. Han har en stor tilhengerskare over hele verden og blir av mange regnet som en av de største fornyerne av fantasysjangeren.

A limited edition in a beautiful slipcase, signed by artist Paul Kidby. 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. This edition features a new revised text, approved by Neil Gaiman and the Pratchett Estate, which clears up many typos and errors from previous editions. It also features twelve full colour illustrations from Paul Kidby - Terry Pratchett's artist of choice - and a plethora of line drawings.

The hilarious end-of-the-world novel from two of the giants of fantasy fiction, now a major TV series, illustrated - for the first time ever - by Paul Kidby! With a corrected text, twelve full colour illustrations and further pencil drawings. This is the definitive edition of this much loved book.
