About this deal

He says we'll have to land soon,' said Carrot. 'Was there some position we're supposed to get into?' Well, I finally got around to it and, well, it was a different, but I can't say it resonated. Sure, I enjoyed it, but the prose and art combination didn't really create anything particularly magical for me, although it was entertaining enough. They've plundered, ravished and done all sorts of other things, ending up quite wealthy and ... bored. The Horde's end is ambiguous. Valkyries come to take the heroes to the Halls of the Slain, where a feast has been prepared for them. Instead, the Silver Horde, refusing to accept their deaths, steal the valkyries' horses and set off to find other worlds to " do heroic stuff in." Death does not appear to them, as he often does when Discworld characters die, although he subsequently appears to Vena, and is evasive about whether he is " collecting".

Vetinari'nin Leonard ile konuşurken "Eski bir hikaye hatırlıyorum. Kuğuların çektiği bir gemi yapılmış ve..." derken bahsettiği hikaye piskopos Francis Godwin'in 1600lerde yazdığı, kuğuların çektiği bir arabayla aya gidilen The Man In The Moone. İlk uzay seyahati hikayelerinden olduğu için tarihsel bir önemi var. Eleman ay insanlarıyla falan karşılaşıyor sonra, tabii o dönem kilise iyice bir manyak gibi bi'şey olmuş...

Kahramanların istediği budur, değil mi? Dünyanın tüm tahtlarını sandaletli ayaklarının altında ezmek, şairin de dediği gibi?" diyor Vetinari. O zaman cevap hakkına duyduğum inançla diyorum ki; Şunu bilin ki prensim kabaran okyanusların Atlantis'i ve onun görkemli kentlerini yutmasından sonra, çelik bilekli, şahin gözlü ve elinden kılıcını bırakmayan bu yiğidin göndermelerini kaçırmayacaktık elbette. Bir noktada Delidolu editörlerinden birinin gözleri kısılıyor ve duduaklarının arasondan "Meme mi lan o?" sözleri dökülüyor. Ardından editörümüz panik içinde haykırıyor, "MEMEE VAAAR!". "Eyvah," diyor, "şimdi ne yapacağız," diyor, "Baltayı taşa vurduk," (haha) diye sızlanıyor. Ama ekip çakal, ekip sinsi. "böyle sanatın içine tükürüreyim," diyerek hemen çözümü buluyorlar: Born Terence David John Pratchett, Sir Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was thirteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. It's been some time since (on the one hand, Sir Terry Pratchett passed and) I read my way through pretty much everything Pratchett wrote (which, as I recall, was more than 40 novels, including his sublime collaboration with Neil Gaiman and more than a handful of young adult and even kids books), all of which I appreciated and enjoyed, often for wildly different reasons. And, frankly, with the exception of the very first Discworld book (in which, to my mind, he hadn't hit his stride yet), Pratchett never disappointed. Normal şartlar altında reviewlerde fotoğraf ve resim kullanılmasından hoşlanmıyor, bir kitap eleştirisinin sadece yazı içermesi gerektiğini düşünüyorum. Yine de bu yazının devamında bir takım fotoğraflar göreceksiniz. Yani aniden aşırı kötü young adult/romance kitapları okuyan liseliye dönüşmedim dostlar. Ve goodreads feedinizi kaslı oğlanların karın kasları ve iri memeli kadınlarla bezeli kapakları olan, görüldüğü anda zeka düşüren kaka festivali kitapların altına bırakılmış, kulaklardan beyin sıvısı fışkırdacak boktanlıkta gif dosyalarıyla doldurmayacağım (Bu arada bu tip yan nefret kusuşlarını gazetenin ilavesi gibi düşünün. Hürriyetin yanında verilen Kelebek eki gibi. Hep fiyata dahil bunlar; bayiniz unutursa vermeyi isteyin yani.) Ancak burada istisnai bir durum söz konusu; orijinal bir eserin tahrifini açıklamak için karşılaştırmaya ve görsel veriye ihtiyacım var. O yüzden, oynatalım;

Cohen the Barbarian is one of the greatest heroes in the history of the Disc. He has defeated many enemies, found much treasure and conquered several empires. But his well-earned retirement of riches and power is a bit on the boring side, so he's now come up with a new idea: to return fire to the gods and confront them on their home ground of Dunmanifestin, atop the ten-mile spire of Cori Celesti at the very heart of the world. Unfortunately, this will destroy the Disc and everything on it. Fortunately, the wizards of Unseen University are ready to join forces with Leonardo da Quirm and the Ankh-Morpork City Watch to save the day. Or at least try to.The main word that comes to mind for this book is “cute.” It’s an adorable idea about what happens to heroes if they aren’t killed in spectacular glory when they’re young. Apparently the answer is that they go looking for adventure and not the old people kind. Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique:

Delidolu'nun "aman ne gereği var şimdi" diye kaldırıp attığı iç kapaktan hemen sonra aslında bizi harika bir Goblen karşılıyor. Cohen ve Gümüş Ordu'nun hikayesini gördüğümüz Goblen belli ki Normanların İngiltere fethini anlatan ünlü Bayeux Tapestry''nin bir parodisi. Ama Delidolu artık Harold'a gıcıklığından mı, başka bir nedenden mi bilinmez, bunu kitaptan atmaya karar vermiş Taking aim at heroes and hero worship, Pratchett describes a time when the world needs saving and Rincewind and Carrot are up for the task. Also center stage is Cohen the Barbarian and his Silver Horde as well as Blind Io and the small gods of the Discworld. Cohen and his band of octogenarian heroes invade the gates of the gods in the mystical city of Dunmanifestin. We also get to see the Discworld’s answer to Leonardo da Vinci, Leonard da Quirm. Because of the complexity of Kirbys´amazing art, this was the only special edition, he just couldn´t produce more graphic novel or even comic style Discworld works without reducing the richness of detail, but it would have been amazing. But the potential for artists to create new interpretations of the Discworld, that is predestined to be comically graphically reinterpreted, is immense. Not just the character descriptions and Kurbys´templates are all there, it would also open the option of expanding the universe and telling new stories. The artwork throughout the book is excellent, often eliciting a giggle by itself. Many of the pieces in the book have become familiar art pieces for the setting individually, and these range from epic depictions of the view of the Disc and its supporting elephants and turtle from its moon to more intimate portraits of the characters and creatures. Kidby does a particularly great job at capturing Carrot's charismatic heroism and Rincewind's world-weary fatalism.Este es uno de los libros que me ha gustado del mundodisco, por varias razones, no solo tiene al cobarde de Rincewind salvando al mundo una vez mas, aunque el solo quisiera huir y/o esconderse; sino que tiene una cofradía de personajes de todo el disco, tenemos a todo El cuadro académico de la ilustre universidad invisible, al Patricio de Ankh-Morpork Lord Vetinari, al Capitán Zanahoria de la guardia de la ciudad, a La muerte (que no podría faltar) y lo mejor de todo a la Horda de plata
