Science of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch - Terry Pratchett

Roundworld is in trouble again, and this time it looks fatal. Having created it in the first place, the wizards of Unseen University feel vaguely responsible for its safety. They know the creatures who lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator - they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. But now it''s all gone wrong - Victorian England has stagnated and the pace of progress would embarrass a limping snail. Unless something drastic is done, there won''t be time for anyone to invent spaceflight and the human race will be turned into ice-pops. Why, though, did history come adrift? Was it Sir Arthur Nightingale''s dismal book about natural selection? Or was it the devastating response by an obscure country vicar called Charles Darwin, whose bestselling Theology of Species made it impossible to refute the divine design of living creatures? Either way, it''s no easy task to change history, as the wizards discover to their cost. Can the God of Evolution come to humanity''s aid and ensure Darwin writes a very different book? And who stopped him writing it in the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Science Of Discworld II - Ian Stewart, Terry Pratchett, Jack Cohen

Acclaimed The Science of Discworld centred around an original Pratchett story about the wizards of Discworld. In it they accidentally witnessed the creation and evolution of our universe, a plot which was interleaved with a Cohen & Stewart non-fiction narrative about Big Science. In The Science of Discworld II: The Globe our authors join forces again to see just what happens when the wizards meddle with history in a battle against the elves for the future of humanity on Earth. London is replaced by a dozy Neanderthal village. The Renaissance is given a push. The role of fat women in art is developed. And one very famous playwright gets born and writes The Play. Weaving together a fast-paced Discworld novelette with cutting-edge scientific commentary on the evolution and development of the human mind, culture, language, art, and science, The Globe presents a fascinating and brilliantly original view of the world we live in. The scene of the final epic battle is the first production of A Midsummer''s Night Dream at the Globe Theatre.

The Science of Discworld IV - Terry Pratchett

The fourth book in the Science of Discworld series, and this time around dealing with THE REALLY BIG QUESTIONS, Terry Pratchett’s brilliant new Discworld story Judgement Day is annotated with very big footnotes (the interleaving chapters) by mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen, to bring you a mind-mangling combination of fiction, cutting-edge science and philosophy.Marjorie Daw is a librarian, and takes her job – and indeed the truth of words – very seriously. She doesn’t know it, but her world and ours – Roundworld – is in big trouble. On Discworld, a colossal row is brewing…The Wizards of Unseen University feel responsible for Roundworld (as one would for a pet gerbil). After all, they brought it into existence by bungling an experiment in Quantum ThaumoDynamics. But legal action is being brought against them by Omnians, who say that the Wizards’ god-like actions make a mockery of their noble religion.As the finest legal brains in Discworld (a zombie and a priest) gird their loins to do battle – and when the Great Big Thing in the High Energy Magic Laboratory is switched on – Marjorie Daw finds herself thrown across the multiverse and right in the middle of the whole ...

Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld - Paul Kidby

Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld takes readers behind the scenes of the amazing partnership between Sir Terry Pratchett and artist Paul Kidby. It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life - from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces - and how Terry and Paul absorbed influences from art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld landscape. Whilst Terry was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Paul has been the artistic force taking the people, places and piece of man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world.Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld also outlines the images that we never got to see - the early covers of the great unwritten novels, taken from the world before their time. This is a unique insight into one of the great literary partnerships, packed full of hitherto unseen art and the real stories behind it.

Terry Pratchett: Život v poznámkách pod čarou - Rob Wilkins

Terry Pratchett byl nesmírně plodným autorem. Jen ze Zeměplochy vzniklo jedenačtyřicet příběhů, běžně napsal dvě, někdy i tři knihy ročně. Jednu však nikdy nedokončil - vlastní biografii. V roce 2015, kdy ho definitivně přemohla degenerativní choroba mozku, stihl svému osobnímu asistentovi Robu Wilkinsovi nadiktovat nějakých 24 tisíc slov a došli do roku 1979. Dál už to bylo na Wilkinsovi. Výsledkem jeho několikaleté práce je zábavný a místy dost bolestný intimní pohled na slavného spisovatele, proložený osobními postřehy a zkušenostmi. Není to bezuzdná glorifikace a Terry Pratchett z knihy vychází jako člověk, který exceloval v mnoha věcech - od včelařství a výroby medoviny přes zahrádkářství po smlouvání a vytáčení lidí do běla. Ale ze všeho nejvíc ze stránek dýchá dojem člověka, který skutečně miloval to, co dělá. Protože se mu v hlavě, už když jednu knihu dopisoval, líhla zápletka další, zůstala po něm spousta útržků textů a nápadů. Rob Wilkins pár z nich v knize přibližuje, ale druhého Christophera Tolkiena se nedočkáme; Pratchett si v závěti výslovně přál, aby se všechny nápady zničily (stylově - parním válcem jménem Lord Jericho) a nikdo už je nedopisoval. A je to asi dobře, Terry Pratchett by měl být jenom jeden. Ale jak řekl jeho ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Výjimečná příležitost poznat autora slavné Zeměplochy. Terry Pratchett byl jedním z nejzásadnějších autorů fantastiky posledního půlstoletí. Za svůj život dokončil 41 knih, které byly přeloženy do bezmála 40 jazyků, a jeho příběhy ze světa Zeměplochy, Dlouhého vesmíru, Koberců nebo Dobrých znamení jsou dodnes láskyplně citovány čtenáři z celého světa. Když mu byla v 59 letech diagnostikována vzácná forma Alzheimerovy choroby, začal spolu se svým asistentem pracovat na vlastním životopisu – ačkoliv se zařekl, že podobnou knihu nikdy nenapíše. Rob Wilkins zaznamenal řadu Pratchettových historek, ilustrujících jeho neobyčejný život od dětství až po dospělost, od přečtení prvních knih až po psaní těch posledních, a zachytil tak tohoto výjimečného autora způsobem, který dost možná překvapí i mnoho jeho fanoušků. Dozvědí se, jaká šichta v novinářské praxi byla pro Pratchetta nejhorší, která zvířata měl v oblibě i jaké lidi rozčiloval, co v něm vyvolávalo záchvaty úzkosti i co mu naopak působilo radost nebo vedle kterého slavného spisovatele stál jednou v mládí na pisoárech. Je tu zkrátka dlouho očekávaný průvodce světem autora, který dokázal hezkou řádku podivuhodných světů sám vytvořit. Portrét Terryho Pratchetta se všemi jeho chybami i libůstkami, který přátelsky pomrkává na všechny milovníky jeho fantastických příběhů. „Ze všech mrtvých světových autorů ...

A Slip of the Keyboard - Terry Pratchett

From one of the bestselling science fiction and fantasy authors and most beloved storytellers of all time comes this unmissable collection which brings together the best of Pratchett’s non fiction writingWith a foreword by Neil Gaiman''Bright, funny, insightful, warm... a man who truly knew how to enjoy life... and books'' George R.R. MartinTerry Pratchett earned a place in the hearts of readers the world over with his bestselling Discworld series – but in recent years he became equally well-known as an outspoken campaigner for causes including Alzheimer’s research and animal rights. A Slip of the Keyboard brings together the best of Pratchett’s non fiction writing on his life, on his work, and on the weirdness of the world: from Granny Pratchett to Gandalf’s love life; from banana daiquiris to books that inspired him; from getting started as a writer to the injustices that he fought to end.With his trademark humour, humanity and unforgettable way with words, this collection offers an insight behind the scenes of Discworld into a much loved and much missed figure – man and boy, bibliophile and computer geek, champion of hats, orang-utans and the right to a good death.Praise for A Slip of the Keyboard:''An inspiration'' ...

Pyramids: Discworld: The Gods Collection - Terry Pratchett

Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country whose largesse - and indeed treasury - is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father. And particularly when your only visible means of support is a recently acquired qualification from the Guild of Assassins where running a kingdom and basic financial acumen were not prerequisites for course entry...

Jednu však nikdy nedokončil – vlastní biografii. V roce 2015, kdy ho definitivně přemohla degenerativní choroba mozku, stihl svému osobnímu asistentovi Robu Wilkinsovi nadiktovat nějakých 24 tisíc slov a došli do roku 1979. Dál už to bylo na Wilkinsovi. Výsledkem jeho několikaleté práce je zábavný a místy dost bolestný intimní pohled na slavného spisovatele, proložený osobními postřehy a zkušenostmi. Není to bezuzdná glorifikace a Terry Pratchett z knihy vychází jako člověk, který exceloval v mnoha věcech – od včelařství a výroby medoviny přes zahrádkářství po smlouvání a vytáčení lidí do běla. Ale ze všeho nejvíc ze stránek dýchá dojem člověka, který skutečně miloval to, co dělá. Protože se mu v hlavě, už když jednu knihu dopisoval, líhla zápletka...
