Opis
A remarkable anthology of short stories and brief fiction works by Sir Terry Pratchett, celebrated globally as a beloved author. Praised by the Guardian for being "clever, intricately built, and amusing," Pratchett stands out as one of our era's eminent comic writers and storytellers. "A Blink of the Screen" traces Pratchett's expansive writing journey: from his school years, to his initial role at the Bucks Free Press, the conception of his first novel, "The Carpet People," and onto the impressive success of his Discworld series. Within are both known characters and new discoveries, abandoned realms, and others still evolving; narratives of adventure, chickens, death, disco, and some uniquely unsettling thoughts about Christmas, all enveloped in his distinctive humor. The book includes an introduction by Booker Prize-winning author A.
S. Byatt, along with illustrations by Pratchett himself, making it a cherished addition to any collection. Note that the front cover may differ.
