Pratchett Terry: Going Postal (Discworld Novel #33)

Popis produktu

Vlahoš von Rosret je podvodník a padělatel a muž, který stojí před životní volbou - buď se může dát pověsit, nebo postavit na nohy zhroucený ankh-morporský poštovní systém. Těžké rozhodování. K ruce má mladšího pošťáka Grešleho (cca 70 let) a mladíka Slavoje, jehož jedinou vášní je jeho sbírka špendlíků. Proti němu stojí mocní nepřátelé - Velká semaforová linka, která se snaží zlikvidovat i tuto zanedbatelnou konkurenci. Kniha v anglickém jazyce.

But he s got to see that the mail gets through, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers Friendly and Benevolent Society, the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company, and a midnight killer. Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too...

Soon after Moist von Lipwig (aka Alfred Spangler), Pratchett's not-quite-hapless, accidental hero, barely avoids hanging, Lord Havelock Vetinari, the despotic but pretty cool ruler of Ankh-Morpork, makes him a job offe Autor : Terry Pratchett, "Going Postal" was the biggest selling hardback of 2004 and is now here in paperback.
