A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“A wonderful story, by turns harrowing and triumphant.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Pratchett’s examination of questions about religious belief, the nature of culture and what it means to be human [...] is a terrific, thought-provoking book.” (Washington Post Book World)

“A searching exploration of good and evil, fate and free will, both as broad and as deep as anything this brilliant author has produced so far. ” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))

“Neatly balancing the somber and the wildly humorous in a riveting tale of discovery, Pratchett shows himself at the height of his powers.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“It is hard to imagine a reader who won’t feel welcomed into this nation.” (Horn Book (starred review))

“Quirky wit and broad vision make this a fascinating survival story on many levels.” (Booklist (starred review))

Quatrième de couverture :

On the day the world ends . . .

. . .Mau is on his way home from the Boys' Island. Soon he will be a man.

And then the wave comes - a huge wave, dragging black night behind it and bringing a schooner which sails over and through the island rainforest.

The village has gone.

The Nation as it was has gone.

Now there's just Mau, who wears barely anything, a trouserman girl who wears far too much, and an awful lot of big misunderstandings . . .

Wise, witty and filled with Terry Pratchett's inimitable comic satire, this is a terrific adventure that - quite literally - turns the world upside down.
