Inhaltsangabe:
The ultimate gift for the legions of Sir Terry Pratchett fans—a gorgeous full-color illustrated Discworld fable.
"Lavishly illustrated by Discworld regular Paul Kidby, Pratchett's latest brings together some of the series' most beloved and unforgettable characters in a tribute to one of comic fantasy's most celebrated worlds." —Library Journal
Cohen the Barbarian. He’s been a legend in his own lifetime. He can remember the good old days of high adventure, when being a Hero meant one didn’t have to worry about aching backs and lawyers and civilization. But these days, he can’t always remember just where he put his teeth . . .
So now, with his ancient (yet still trusty) sword and new walking stick in hand, Cohen gathers a group of his old — very old — friends to embark on one final quest. He’s going to climb the highest mountain of Discworld and meet the gods.
It's time the Last Hero in the world returns what the first hero stole. Trouble is, that'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.
Über die Autorinnen und Autoren:
Terry Pratchett (1948–2015) is the acclaimed creator of the globally revered Discworld series. In all, he authored more than fifty bestselling books, which have sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
Paul Kidby is best known for being the “artist of choice” for Sir Terry Pratchett, with whom he started working in 1993. He has illustrated many Discworld publications, including The Art of Discworld, The Last Hero, and Designing Discworld. In 2019 he illustrated Good Omens, written by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. He lives in the UK.
