Krátky popis
At the time of his death in 2015, award-winning and bestselling
author Sir Terry Pratchett was working on his finest story yet -
his own. The creator of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld
series, Terry Pratchett was known and loved around the world for
his hugely popular books, his smart satirical humour and the
humanity of his campaign work. But that's only part of the picture.
Before his untimely death, Terry was writing a memoir: the story of
a boy who aged six was told by his teacher that he would never
amount to anything and spent the rest of his life proving him
wrong. For Terry lived a life full of astonishing achievements:
becoming one of the UK's bestselling and most beloved writers,
winning the prestigious Carnegie Medal and being awarded a
knighthood. Now, the book Terry sadly couldn't finish has been
written by Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head
of the Pratchett literary estate. Drawing on his own extensive
memories, along with those of the author's family, friends and
colleagues, Rob unveils the full picture of Terry's life - from
childhood to his astonishing writing career, and how he met and
coped with what he called the 'Embuggerance' of Alzheimer's
disease. A deeply moving and personal portrait of the extraordinary
life of Sir Terry Pratchett, written with unparalleled insight and
filled with funny anecdotes, this is the only official biography of
one of our finest authors.
