The Last Hero: A Discworld Fable: 27

Product Information

In this rather short but very good 27th volume of the Discworld novels, we follow Conan the Barbarian and his friends heroes horde. Old Soldiers never die they just fade away. I learned that school in 1960s but this proves that this load of old bullshit! 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;

Lavishly illustrate by Discworld regular 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 The Last Hero is the seventh book in the Rincewind subseries. It’s actually an illustrated novel, the first one I’ve read. It was only available as an illustrated version (unlike Eric which I read in a non-illustrated format), and I do think some of the illustrations were important to the story. If nothing else, the ending might not make much sense without the corresponding picture. The reader could probably guess what it showed if they’d been paying attention to the story, though.This is the second illustrated Discworld novel from Terry Pratchett after Eric, his collaboration with sadly missed Josh Kirby. It's hard to know how to describe it - Pratchett has written a story and Paul Kidby has illustrated it, but the illustrations are essential to the story and the story essential to the illustrations. It isn't really a graphic novel or an illustrated book, but somewhere between. And it is a true collaboration between two great talents to produce something quite brilliant.

This volume is also one of the special ones illustrated throughout and, I think, the very first volume Paul Kidby was the artist for (after the death of Josh Kirby). So I enjoyed both the audio version (still not as good as Nigel Planer's reading, I can't emphasize this enough) as well as my print copy (Rincewind, by the way, is depicted too young in my opinion). Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique: Delidolu adlı aptallık yığınının içine sıçtığı güzelim Terry Pratchett ve Paul Kidby kitabı veya başka bir bakışla Discworld'ün yirmi yedinci kitabı:tatsız taraflara geleceğiz ama kendilerine Delidolu/Tudem diyen şer odağı tarafından kitabın nasıl içinden geçildiğine gelmeden önce, yakaladığım referanslar, gözüme takılan bir iki detay ve aldığım notları kısa kısa aktarmak istiyorum: The late great Sir Terry's Conan tribute to Robert E Howard what happens to super men when they get old & there teeth fall out this old man Steptoe with muscles. But the extra special illustrations that give this book that WOW!' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Este grupo de viejitos cool que sigue a Cohen el bárbaro, quien tiene el plan de una última misión, devolverle lo que le pertenece a los dioses, lo primero que los mortales le robaron, el problema es que se lo quieren pagar con intereses, y debido a esto puede que todo el mundodisco se destruya.

So we get a madcap ride in a very daring contraption utilizing dragons, lots of hilarity from Rincewind pointing out the obvious death traps, Gods that don't understand sarcasm and much much more. Oh, and space! Yup, this novel had everything. I rate the story a three. It didn't really hold my interest, though to be fair, I am ruled by the Goddess of the Easily Distracted. I found myself rushing through the text to get to more of the gorgeous artwork. Pratchett’s perceptive and laugh-out-loud Discworld series is a literary phenomenon. And in The Last Hero, one aging hero with a grudge decides enough is enough. Beautifully illustrated throughout by Paul Kidby. 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 vermişI didn’t like the format, because the lines were really long which made it hard to read. I started holding the book a foot away from my face and it sped up the reading considerably, but it was still uncomfortable. He says we'll have to land soon,' said Carrot. 'Was there some position we're supposed to get into?' It wonderfully caps Rincewind's series of adventures, neatly and directly tying up his Disc-spanning journey that began in the foundational The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ The titular character refers to Cohen the Barbarian, who, along with his geriatric Silver Horde, has embarked on one final quest: To return the fire the First Hero stole from the Gods to give to mankind... with interest... in the form of a sled of explosives. The Discworld's Last Heroes plan to go out with a bang, and they've made sure to kidnap a minstrel tasked with composing a saga so their final deed won't be forgotten. With them is a whiny, terrified bard, whom they have kidnapped so that he can write the saga of their quest. Along the way, they are joined by Evil Harry Dread (the last Dark Lord) and Vena the Raven-haired (an elderly heroine who has now gone grey).

The story is thin and a little disposable, but fun. Pratchett layers in some melancholy thoughts about aging and feeling obsolete in your work as you get older, but also some traditional comic references to history and science.Türkçe versiyonda hem aşırı ucuz kağıttan hem de kötü baskı kalitesinden pek göremiyoruz ama Leonardo'nun beslediği kuşlardan birinin üzerinde DoG-KöPek yazıyor. Bunun nedenini ise the Truth'ta öğrenmiştik. 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". But at least they are just bored and not as boring as the real life equivalences in politics, so what lies closer than to replay some classic mythology as a real life RPG, the perfect hobby for silver barbarians with some terrorist attitude to go with a big, Discworld shattering bang. Because of the potentially ultra fatal consequences of their plan to reach immortality, or at least a satisfying end worthy of and close to each barbarians´ wet death dream, Vetinari unleashes Leonard of Quirms´ ingenuity what enables Rincewind, Carrot, and The Librarian to go one a, hopefully for the world, successful hellish road and air trip. The twenty-seventh Discworld book is another departure from the standard format of the series. Like the earlier Eric, The Last Hero was written and designed as an illustrated project. Unlike Eric, The Last Hero was never designed to be reissued without its illustrations, and they are more dynamically and essentially integrated into the book. 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.
