Pyramids: (Discworld Novel 7)
Terry Pratchett Pyramids: (Discworld Novel 7) pdf - 'Look after the dead', said the priests, 'and the dead will look after you.' Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when, like Teppic, you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country rather earlier than expected, and your treasury is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father.Rang parmi les ventes Amazon: #29539 dans LivresPublié le: 2012-10-11Sorti le: 2012-10-11Langue d'origine: AnglaisNombre d'articles: 1Dimensions: 7.79" h x .97" l x 5.02" L, .59 livres Reliure: Broché384 pagesRevue de presse"'Like Dickens, much of Pratchett's appeal lies in his humanism, both in a sentimental regard for his characters' good fortune, and in that his writing is generous-spirited and inclusive'" (Guardian)"'As funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh'" (Independent)"'Imagine a collision between Jonathan Swift at his most scatologically-minded and J.R.R.

He’d had the best education money could buy of course, but unfortunately the syllabus at the Assassin's Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not cover running a kingdom and basic financial acumen...Quatrième de couvertureUnlike most teenaged boys, Teppic isn't chasing girls and working at the mall. Instead he's just inherited the throne of the desert kingdom Djelibeybi—a job that's come a bit earlier than he expected (a turn of fate his recently departed father wasn't too happy about either).It's bad enough being new on the job, but Teppic hasn't a clue as to what a pharaoh is supposed to do. After all, he's been trained at Ankh-Morpork's famed assassins' school, across the sea from the Kingdom of the Sun. First, there's the monumental task of building a suitable resting place for Dad—a pyramid to end all pyramids. Then there are the myriad administrative duties, such as dealing with mad priests, sacred crocodiles, and marching mummies. And to top it all off, the adolescent pharaoh discovers deceit and betrayal—not to mention a headstrong handmaiden—at the heart of his realm.
