A blink of the screen : collected shorter fiction [ang.]

Autor: Pratchett, Terry

   Notka biograficzna  



In the four decades since his first book appeared in print, Terry Pratchett has become one of the world’s best-selling and best-loved authors. Here for the first time are his short stories and other short form fiction collected into one volume. A Blink of the Screen charts the course of Pratchett’s long writing career: from his schooldays through to his first writing job on the Bucks Free Press,; to the origins of his debut novel, The Carpet People; and on again to the dizzy mastery

of the phenomenally successful Discworld series.

Here are characters both familiar and yet to be discovered; abandoned worlds and others still expanding; adventure, chickens, death, disco and, actually, some quite disturbing ideas about Christmas,all of it shot through with his inimitable brand of humour. With an introduction by Booker Prize-winning author A.S. Byatt, illustrations by the late Josh Kirby and drawings by the author himself, this is a book to treasure.

Pratchett, Terry

Angielski pisarz. Autor prześmiewczych powieści fantasy dziejących się w Świecie Dysku. Cierpiał na rzadką odmianę choroby Alzheimera. Ojciec Rhianny Pratchett – scenarzystki komiksów i gier komputerowych. Debiutował jako 13-latek w szkolnej gazetce. Pierwsze opowiadanie sprzedał dwa lata później. Jeszcze jako nastolatek porzuca szkołę i zarabia jako dziennikarz w „Bucks Free Press”. Pierwszą powieść opublikował w 1971 roku Dywan – dowcipna i przewrotna książka dla młodszego czytelnika zebrała pochlebne recenzje. Jednak pisarstwo traktował jako hobby do chwili stworzenia [>>]
