The Last Hero: A Discworld Fable: 27

Product Information

The Horde's end is ambiguous. Valkyries come to take the heroes to the Halls of the Slain, where a feast has been prepared for them. Instead, the Silver Horde, refusing to accept their deaths, steal the valkyries' horses and set off to find other worlds to " do heroic stuff in." Death does not appear to them, as he often does when Discworld characters die, although he subsequently appears to Vena, and is evasive about whether he is " collecting". Delidolu adlı aptallık yığınının içine sıçtığı güzelim Terry Pratchett ve Paul Kidby kitabı veya başka bir bakışla Discworld'ün yirmi yedinci kitabı: The Last Hero is the seventh book in the Rincewind subseries. It’s actually an illustrated novel, the first one I’ve read. It was only available as an illustrated version (unlike Eric which I read in a non-illustrated format), and I do think some of the illustrations were important to the story. If nothing else, the ending might not make much sense without the corresponding picture. The reader could probably guess what it showed if they’d been paying attention to the story, though. Este grupo de viejitos cool que sigue a Cohen el bárbaro, quien tiene el plan de una última misión, devolverle lo que le pertenece a los dioses, lo primero que los mortales le robaron, el problema es que se lo quieren pagar con intereses, y debido a esto puede que todo el mundodisco se destruya. Thanks to the illustrations, it´s a very short one, even for Pratchettian dimensions, but very easygoing and without the often included deeper criticism, a once pure and innocent fun that creates its humor mostly out of characters and satirizing the original myth, space programs, Schrödingers´cat, and the good old end of the world.

Türkçe versiyonda hem aşırı ucuz kağıttan hem de kötü baskı kalitesinden pek göremiyoruz ama Leonardo'nun beslediği kuşlardan birinin üzerinde DoG-KöPek yazıyor. Bunun nedenini ise the Truth'ta öğrenmiştik. aptallığa şahit olmaya devam ediyoruz. Kah resimlere müdahale ediliyor, kah sayfaların arka planlarındaki grafikler siliniyor, kah "aman yaaa," diye çizimler tamamen çıkarılıp atılıyor. Born Terence David John Pratchett, Sir Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was thirteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Pratchett] managed to perfectly blend a carefully crafted plot, with humour, steampunk gadgets, and of course the librarian . Pratchett really was the comic fantasy master' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ There's nothing about this story I didn't love. The dialogues and action sequences were great, and I loved all the mythology references and parallels to our actual history. There's really only enough material here for a story of exactly this length, but despite its brevity it's still got that special brand of Pratchett profoundness that all his best novels do. The Last Hero takes a spoofing yet poignant look at god and hero worship, destiny, the birth of legends, cultural memory, and coming to terms with aging and mortality, but wanting to leave a mark on the world. In the grand scheme of things, it may not be as substantial a volume as some others, but I found it delightful.So we get a madcap ride in a very daring contraption utilizing dragons, lots of hilarity from Rincewind pointing out the obvious death traps, Gods that don't understand sarcasm and much much more. Oh, and space! Yup, this novel had everything. Meanwhile, the Horde have already reached Cori Celesti. The gods allow them to sneak in disguised as gods themselves, despite (or perhaps because of) their having been betrayed to the gods by Evil Harry. The Horde suspect that the gods have been manipulating their entire quest. Fate challenges Cohen to roll a 7 on a standard 6-sided die. Cohen cheats Fate by slicing the die in-half in mid-air with his sword; the two halves land with the 6 and 1 both facing up. Cohen also notes that even if he does not succeed in killing the gods, someone will have tried, so someone will eventually try harder. The story is thin and a little disposable, but fun. Pratchett layers in some melancholy thoughts about aging and feeling obsolete in your work as you get older, but also some traditional comic references to history and science. I didn’t like the format, because the lines were really long which made it hard to read. I started holding the book a foot away from my face and it sped up the reading considerably, but it was still uncomfortable.

The ultimate gift for the legions of Sir Terry Pratchett fans--a gorgeous full-color illustrated Discworld fable.The story itself is short, but cute. Cohen and his horde of heroes are on a quest, and their heroic shenanigans might destroy the entire Discworld. A variety of familiar characters get involved in trying to prevent this and, naturally, Rincewind gets dragged into things against his will. Sort of. I rate the story a three. It didn't really hold my interest, though to be fair, I am ruled by the Goddess of the Easily Distracted. I found myself rushing through the text to get to more of the gorgeous artwork. It's been some time since (on the one hand, Sir Terry Pratchett passed and) I read my way through pretty much everything Pratchett wrote (which, as I recall, was more than 40 novels, including his sublime collaboration with Neil Gaiman and more than a handful of young adult and even kids books), all of which I appreciated and enjoyed, often for wildly different reasons. And, frankly, with the exception of the very first Discworld book (in which, to my mind, he hadn't hit his stride yet), Pratchett never disappointed. tatsız taraflara geleceğiz ama kendilerine Delidolu/Tudem diyen şer odağı tarafından kitabın nasıl içinden geçildiğine gelmeden önce, yakaladığım referanslar, gözüme takılan bir iki detay ve aldığım notları kısa kısa aktarmak istiyorum:
