Krátky popis
WINNER OF THE BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION ASSOCIATION AWARD FOR BEST
NON-FICTION'Always readable, illuminating and honest. It made me
miss the real Terry.' - Neil Gaiman'Sometimes joyfully, sometimes
painfully, intimate . .. it is wonderful to have this closeup
picture of the writer's working life.' - Frank Cottrell-Boyce,
Observer--------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.--------'Spins magic from mundanity in
precisely the way Pratchett himself did.' - Telegraph'As frank,
funny and unsentimental as anything its subject might have produced
himself.' - Mail on Sunday
