This title features M19, F10, and Extras. This play can by played at various simple settings. Lord Vetinari wants to overhaul the banks of Ankh-Morpork so he appoints former con-man Albert Spangler, aka Moist von Lipwig, to the position of Mater of the Royal Mint, attached to a senior post at the Bank of Ankh-Morpork. Then Mrs Lavish, the bank manager, dies, leaving her dog Mr Fusspot - who also happens to be the majority shareholder - to Moist. Suddenly he finds himself in charge, and his life being threatened by resentful members of the Lavish family. His talent for a swindle soon has customers queuing up, but when the chairman of the bank needs to be taken out for walkies and its chief cashier may or may not be a vampire, making money is not always easy. Praise for Terry Pratchett's novel "Making Money": "As bright and shiny as a newly minted coin; clever, engaging and laugh-out-loud funny". ("The Times").
Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork. And now the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they’re in the mood for trying everything else. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt (and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too). As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed for ever. Because the thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football. Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!
Its a parallel world, 1860. Two teenagers thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mau's village and left Daphne shipwrecked on his South Pacific island, thousands of miles from home. One wears next to nothing, the other a long white dress; neither speaks the other's language; somehow they must learn to survive.
Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon "Reads like the Book of Revelation, rewritten by Monty Python." -- San Francisco ChronicleThe classic novel of angels, demons, and Armageddon from the internationally bestselling authors Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, now a Prime original series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. 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 . . .
The Folklore of Discworld

Halvin toimitettuna 18,70 €
A non-fiction guide to the real folklore that influenced Terry Pratchett's bestselling Discworld series. Go beyond the novels to discover more about the fantastically funny and gloriously inventive world of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. NOW UPDATED to include material on the Discworld books up to Raising Steam. Most of us grow up having always known to touch wood or cross our fingers, and what happens when a princess kisses a frog or a boy pulls a sword from a stone, yet sadly some of these things are now beginning to be forgotten. Legends, myths, fairytales: our world is made up of the stories we told ourselves about where we came from and how we got there. It is the same on Discworld, except that beings which on Earth are creatures of the imagination - like vampires, trolls, witches and, possibly, gods - are real, alive and in some cases kicking on the Disc. In The Folklore of Discworld, Terry Pratchett teams up with leading British folklorist Jacqueline Simpson to take an irreverent yet illuminating look at the living myths and folklore that are reflected, celebrated and affectionately libelled in the uniquely imaginative universe of Discworld.

New York Times Bestseller * Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize * Winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award * Michael L. Printz Medal honor winnerFrom the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett, author of the beloved and bestselling Discworld fantasy series, comes an epic adventure of survival that mixes hope, humor, and humanity. When a giant wave destroys his village, Mau is the only one left. Daphne--a traveler from the other side of the globe--is the sole survivor of a shipwreck. Separated by language and customs, the two are united by catastrophe. Slowly, they are joined by other refugees. And as they struggle to protect the small band, Mau and Daphne defy ancestral spirits, challenge death himself, and uncover a long-hidden secret that literally turns the world upside down. Sir Terry also received a prestigious Printz Honor from the American Library Association for his novel Dodger.
Am Ende der Scheibenwelt liegt ein Kontinent, der nur als missratene Schöpfung bezeichnet werden kann. Es gibt dort Unmengen von rotem Sand und starkem Bier und ausschließlich gefährliche Tiere. Dort bringt der linkische Zauberer Rincewind das Raum-Zeit-Kontinuum durcheinander, während seine Kollegen von der Unsichtbaren Universität 30.000 Jahre zuvor dorthin verschlagen werden. Man trifft - und man rettet sich - irgendwann: zwerchfellerschütternd.
Mau on matkalla kotiin Poikien saarelta. Retki on aikuistumisriitti, kotiin palattuaan hän olisi mies. Kun Mau saavuttaa kotisaaren, hän huomaa kauhukseen, että mitään ei enää ole: suuri aalto on pyyhkäissyt mereen talot, tavarat ja ihmiset. Siellä, missä ennen oli koti ja perhe, on nyt vain sekasortoa ja hiljaisuutta-- ja eräs haaksirikkoutunut Englannin kuninkaan sukulaistyttö nimeltään Daphne. Nuorilla ei ole yhteistä kieltä tai yhteisiä tapoja, mutta vähitellen he alkavat ymmärtää toisiaan ja rakentaa uutta elämää, uutta valtiota. Saarelle ajautuu pikkuhiljaa lisää pelastuneita, ja Mau ja Daphne joutuvat moneen tiukkaan paikkaan. Miten ruokitaan vastasyntynyt, jos ei ole maitoa? Kenen jumalaan uskotaan? Kuka Valtiota johtaa? Ja miten käy Maun, kun Daphnea tullaankin hakemaan kotiin? Terry Pratchettin huumori ja mielikuvitus ovat vertaansa vailla - hänen kirjojaan on myyty jo yli 45 miljoonaa kappaletta, ja niitä on käännetty 33 kielelle. Valtio on nuorille lukijoille tarkoitettu täyteläinen tarina, vakavien ja kevyiden teemojen oivallinen yhdistelmä parhaaseen Pratchett-tyyliin!
Im Opernhaus von Ankh-Morpork huschen geheimnisvolle Gestalten durch die Kulissen und führen Böses im Schilde. Wer hier den sterbenden Schwan mimt, lebt gefährlich. Es spukt, und als dann auch noch Morde geschehen, treten Oma Wetterwachs und Nanny Ogg auf den Plan: die berühmtesten Hexen der Scheibenwelt. Anlässlich ihres Besuches steht ein Riesenwirbel ins Haus - und mörderisch gute Unterhaltung.
For every Terry Pratchett fan, an absolute must-have, giftable book--favorite quotations from his beloved Discworld canon. Gleaned from more than two decades' worth of Discworld tales, here is an essential compendium of insightful musings, witty commentary, and sagacious observations by New York Times bestselling author Terry Pratchett, compiled by Pratchett expert Stephen Briggs.- In the bathtub of history the truth is harder to hold than the soap, and much more difficult to find...- All assassins had a full-length mirror in their rooms, because it would be a terrible insult to anyone to kill them when you were badly dressed. Filled with wonderful bon mots, double entendres, not to mention breathtaking insights, The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld is a compendium of the wittiest, pithiest, and wisest quotations from Terry Pratchett's madcap universe--a place that looks, sounds, and smells suspiciously like our own." Pratchett has created an alternate universe full of trolls, dwarfs, wizards, and other fantasy elements, and he uses that universe to reflect on our own culture with entertaining and gloriously funny results. It's an accomplishment nothing short of magical."--Chicago Tribune
Carnegie Medal Winner * ALA Best Fiction for Young Adults * New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age * VOYA Best Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror * Book Sense PickIn this standalone Discworld novel, bestselling fantasy grandmaster Sir Terry Pratchett turns a classic fairy tale on its head, and no one will ever look at the Pied Piper--or rats--the same way again "Hilarious, moving, scary, impishly vulgar, and wickedly wise." --Locus The Amazing Maurice runs the perfect Pied Piper scam. This streetwise alley cat knows the value of cold, hard cash and can talk his way into and out of anything. But when Maurice and his cohorts decide to con the town of Bad Blinitz, it will take more than fast talking to survive the danger that awaits. For this is a town where food is scarce and rats are hated, where cellars are lined with deadly traps, and where a terrifying evil lurks beneath the hunger-stricken streets.... The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents is a standalone. This book's feline hero was first mentioned in the Discworld novel Reaper Man and stars in the movie version of his adventure, The Amazing Maurice, featuring David Tenant, Emilia Clarke, Hamish Patel, and Hugh Laurie. Fans of Maurice will relish the adventures of Tiffany Aching, starting with The Wee Free Men and A Hat Full of Sky
