Lyn Pratchett Livres

Lorsque Masklinn, seul chasseur d'une tribu de gnomes, pénètre dans le grand magasin Arnold Frères, quelle n'est pas sa surprise de découvrir que ses rayonnages abritent des centaines de ses congénères, invisibles au regard des hommes ! Son arrivée crée cependant la panique, car pour les résidents, le " dehors " n'est pas censé exister. De plus, l'intrus est venu avec le Truc, un objet doué de parole qui prétend connaître l'origine du petit peuple. Et qui fait surtout cette révélation : le magasin est sur le point d'être détruit ! Il n'y a dès lors plus qu'une solution : l'exode. Tâche titanesque pour des êtres de dix centimètres de haut, dont Masklinn est devenu le prophète involontaire...

First book of the original and best CITY WATCH series, now reinterpreted in BBC's The Watch 'This is one of Pratchett's best books. Hilarious and highly recommended' The Times The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . _________________ 'It was the usual Ankh-Morpork mob in times of crisis; half of them were here to complain, a quarter of them were here to watch the other half, and the remainder were here to rob, importune or sell hotdogs to the rest.' Insurrection is in the air in the city of Ankh-Morpork. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to fall out all over again. Captain Sam Vimes of the city's ramshackle Night Watch is used to this. It's enough to drive a man to drink. Well, to drink more. But this time, something is different - the Have-Nots have found the key to a dormant, lethal weapon that even they don't fully understand, and they're about to unleash a campaign of terror on the city. Time for Captain Vimes to sober up.
