The Essential Terry Pratchett
by Andrew M. Butler

In Britain it has been estimated that 10% of all books sold are fantasy. And
of that fantasy, 10% is written by Terry Pratchett. So, do the sums: 1% of
all books sold in Britain are written by Terry Pratchett.

So throwing caution to the wind, let's enter a world where the Librarian is
an orangutan, luggage has legs, and where Death may come to visit, on his
holidays. A world which is flat and balanced upon elephants stood on the back
of a giant turtle. Welcome to Discworld.

The success of the best-selling Discworld series has been so phenomenal that
there have been radio serialisations, tv adaptations, numerous plays, dozens
of audiobooks, pottery figures, calendars, diaries, an encyclopedia, a couple
of computer games, a quizbook, a CD of music inspired by the Discworld,
several fanzines, newsgroups, fanclubs and a couple of Discworld Conventions.
There was even a whole volume of criticism discussing Terry Pratchett's work.
And this one makes it two.

Oh, and we've included information about all Terry Pratchett's other work as
well.

Andrew M Butler is co-editor of Vector, lectures in film and media studies at
BCUC and is the author of Pocket Essentials on Philip K Dick and Cyberpunk.

Geht's ein bisschen genauer? Was ist das? Wo bekommt man es? Ist es schon zu haben? Wenn nein, ab wann? Was kostet es? Zum Thema englische Postings habe ich mich ja schon wo anders geäußerst...
