Even with not knowing a bunch of the characters in this story (which is exactly what happens when you attempt to read the Discworld novels by their character story arcs, rather than the publication date) this was a fantastically entertaining read. You get a bit of everything in this story - Conan doing his aged hero thing, the gods playing around with humanity, the wizards being ridkculously bureaucratic, and Rincewind whinging about his lot in life - and with the added bonus of some fantastic illustrations this book is one of the best Discworld stories. The plot isn't much in terms of originality (saving the world has kind of been done), but I think that the idea that the world could end by the last hero returning the fire that the first hero stole from the gods is quite novel! (  ) JaimieRiella | Feb 25, 2021 |  The First Hero stole fire from the gods. Now the Last Hero and his Silver Horde want to undo that theft, even if it means the end of the world. As enjoyable as ever. Not perhaps as satyrical of our world as some but plenty of parodies and references to enjoy. The illustrations really fit and add to the text. (  ) Robertgreaves | Feb 10, 2021 | Not one of Pratchett's best Discworld novels, but the illustrations are good. ( ) bratell | Dec 25, 2020 | Cohen the Barbarian, the last hero of the Disc has decided it is time for him to go and he wants to take the gods with him. With the tattered remnants of the Silver Horde, he's off to Dunmanifestin with a keg of Agatean Thunder Clay. It is expected that this will destroy the world. It's all up to Leonard de Quirm to invent the technology that might just beat Cohen to his goal. ( ) Ravenwood1984 | Oct 13, 2020 | “No one remembers the singer. The song remains.” Another Pratchett reread, a short novella and this time it is so much better (I originally read the paperback and I am wondering whether it was different), bringing together a cast of characters that I have come to know and love, all generously illustrated by Paul Kidby, and with what feels like more than the average number of straight gags and witticisms for a Pratchett book. A great read. (  ) CarltonC | Aug 11, 2020 |
 Pratchett lets fly sly volleys at today's civilization and skewers nearly every barbarian-fantasy cliché rampant in too many books and films. This far-out farce rollicks along hilariously enough to make the inevitable aging process, if not palatable, at least worth a few good belly laughs.
He's been a legend in his own lifetime. He can remember when a hero didn't have to worry about fences and lawyers and civilisation, and when people didn't tell you off for killing dragons. But he can't always remember, these days, where he put his teeth . . . So now, with his ancient sword and his new walking stick and his old friends -- and they're very old friends -- Cohen the Barbarian is going on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. The last hero in the world is going to return what the first hero stole. With a vengeance. That'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
