Terry Pratchett can do no wrong!Par Mr. Geoffrey WilliamsLike Terry Pratchett I don't like football and never watch it so it was anagreeably surpise to me that I enjoyed this as much as his other later worksfinishing it at two in the morning.I believe this is the first time there has been any overt reference to gays ina Diskworld book but, given Mr Pratchett's humaniste approach to all manner ofdifferent races, hardly surprising that it is live and let live.17 internautes sur 23 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. Le foot vu par Pratchett, c'est le pied...Par Sylvie B.Les Mages en footballeurs d'occasion, c'est assez irrésistible! Un excellent bouquin dans la lignée de tous ceux du Disque-Monde, et vivement la traduction en Français pour pouvoir se régaler comme d'hab' du passage d'une langue à l'autre...De jolies réflexions aussi sur la tyrannie/ la royauté/ la démocratie, qui m'ont inspiré cette réflexion: qu'est-ce qui fait que Vétérini est infiniment préférable à Sarkozy?Réponse: Ben, au moins, Vétérini n'a pas de fils...0 internautes sur 0 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile. Un très bon DiscworldPar GaelounetCe n'est sans doute pas le volume à recommander à ceux qui n'ont jamais lu Pratchett (à qui je conseille Carpe Jugulum).Pour ceux qui sont familiers avec Discworld, Sir Terry est toujours fin et drôle et joue à la fois avec les mots, les concepts et les clichés.Un grand moment de bidonnade pour tous les amateurs. Présentation de l'éditeur‘Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Ankh-Morpork, where we lay our scene…’Football divides the city. Each area has its own team – and rivalry means supporters never mix. Until a Dimwell fan falls for a Dolly Sisters girl. And now an ancient bequest means the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic.Luckily they’re coached by the mysterious Mr Nutt (and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too).As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed forever. Because the thing about football – the important thing about football – is that it is not just about football.As all children know, the way you get into a fantasy world is by accident… You go into the wardrobe, looking for somewhere to hide and – bingo. And that’s how Stephen Briggs found Discworld.In 1990, he wrote to ask Terry if he could stage Wyrd Sisters. That was the first time anyone, anywhere in the world, had dramatised Terry’s work. He had no idea it would go any further than one play (possibly two). But it did. So far, he has now adapted, staged and published twenty-two plays.He and Terry also worked together to produce the original Discworld Maps and Diaries, Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, The Discworld Companion (now called Turtle Recall [skqra.ebook] Unseen Academicals By Par Stephen Briggs, Terry Pratchett PDF [skqra.ebook] Unseen Academicals By Par Stephen Briggs, Terry Pratchett Epub [skqra.ebook] Unseen Academicals By Par Stephen Briggs, Terry Pratchett Ebook [skqra.ebook] Unseen Academicals By Par Stephen Briggs, Terry Pratchett Rar [skqra.ebook] Unseen Academicals By Par Stephen Briggs, Terry Pratchett Zip [skqra.ebook] Unseen Academicals By Par Stephen Briggs, Terry Pratchett Read Online.

Being the Onlie True & Mostlie They said it couldn't be done. Well, it Accurate Mappe of the Fantastyk has been done, proving them wrong once again. After years of research, cunningly and Magical Dyscworlde 'contrived in as many minutes, the Discworld has its map. It takes full account of the historic and much documented expeditions of the Discworld's feted (or at least fated) explorers: General Sir Roderick Purdeigh, Lars Larsnephew, Llamedos Jones, Lady Alice Venturi, Ponce da Quirm and, of course, Venter Borass. Now travellers on this circular world can see it all: from Klatch to the Ramtops, from Cori Celesti to the Circle Sea, from Genua to Bhangbhangduc. The great cities of Hunghung, Pseudopolis, Al Khali and, of course, Ankh-Morpork are placed with loving care upon this world which is carried through space by Great A'Tuin.

Traducción E Intertextualidad En Wyrd Sisters De Terry Pratchett
Traducción e intertextualidad en Wyrd Sisters de Terry Pratchett Miriam Pedrosa de Fez Tutor/a: Damià Alou Seminari 209: Traducció literària Curs 2016-2017 ABSTRACT Intertextuality is present to a greater or lesser extent in all literature works. These intertextual elements can be difficult to detect and even more to translate. Terry Pratchett is noted for his rich use of intertextuality and humour. This Bachelor thesis focuses mainly on his book Wyrd Sisters and the intertextual references that concern Macbeth and Hamlet by Shakespeare. The purpose of this work is to analyse how Terry Pratchett has made use of intertextual references and what kind of references he has employed in order to examine the Spanish translation of these elements. It also focuses on the extent to which Shakespeare’s presence is exhibited in the book. In order to do so, a theoretical background on intertextuality is required. Intertextuality can be expressed through allusion, intertextual humour and parody, and the subcategories implicit verbal allusions and implicit intertextual references to source texts. The selected data is analysed under these concepts. The results show a great deal of usage of these resources. Wyrd Sisters is constructed under the parody premise with Macbeth and Hamlet as hypotexts. Allusion is present mainly by means of implicit verbal allusions. In addition, implicit intertextual references to source texts play an important part in the porpoise of connecting the book to its hypotexts. Finally, the Spanish translations show how the translator has struggled at times to maintain intertextual references, the humour elements or, in some cases, both of them.
