Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A masterwork by Philip K. Dick, this is the final, expanded version of the novellla THE UNTELEPORTED MAN, which Dick worked on shortly before his death. In LIES, INC., fans of the science fiction legend will immediately recognise his hallmark themes of life in a security state, conspiracy, and the blurring of reality and illusion. In this wry, paranoid vision of the future, overpopulation has turned cities into crammed industrial anthills. For those sick of this dystopian reality, one corporation, Trails of Hoffman, Inc., promises an alternative: Take a teleport to Whale's Mouth, a colonized planet billed as the supreme paradise. The only catch is that you can never come back. When a neurotic man named Rachmael ben Applebaum discovers that the promotional films of happy crowds cheering their newfound existence on Whale's Mouth are faked, he decides to pilot a spaceship on the 18-year journey there to see if anyone wants to return. 240 pp. Englisch.

It is a flat planet, supported on the backs of four elephants, who in turn stand on the back of the great turtle A'Tuin as it swims majestically through space. And it is quite possibly the funniest place in all of creation.The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check on the new-born baby's sex.Terry Pratchett turns his acute satirical eye on sexual equality and chauvinism in his hilarious third Discworld novel.Readers love Equal Rites:'If you enjoy British humour, witty prose, and irreverent fantasy, then you'll enjoy this book.

Pratchett's humour is here in full force along with his wonderful descriptions and clever stories' Goodreads reviewer, 'This is a very fun approach to standard fantasy creatures such as witches and wizards . . . The writing style has a touch of humour to it and flows very easily. You pick up the book and never want to put it down' Goodreads reviewer, 'Equal Rights was magical, at times funny, contained some philosophical quotes and a light read' Goodreads reviewer, 'Granny was such an awesome character, she totally stole the show. Actually, it's a tie between Granny and the magical staff, I know it's just a stick but it's a very expressive stick!' Goodreads reviewer,

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - HIGHGROVE: A GARDEN CELEBRATED is a commemoration of the beautiful, mature gardens planned and planted by The Prince of Wales over thirty years ago. The gardens at Highgrove evoke intense emotion. In January, the dramatic light and early snowdrops of the Stumpery are exquisite; the glistening emerald lawns and tree blossoms in Spring lift the spirits with a promise of what is to come; in Summer, the longed-for delphiniums in the Sundial Garden stand proudly to attention and dramatic leaf colours welcome Autumn to the Arboretum as the harvesting in the Kitchen Garden begins. In Winter the structural elements of the garden have their moment of glory as the year comes to a close and the cycle of the seasons continues.Lavishly illustrated with photographs that capture both the light and detail of this magisterial space, this beautiful book will delight and inspire gardeners of every level. It is an exquisite celebration of garden design, passion and inspiration.
