Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

This audiobook is narrated by Richard Coyle, who starred as Moist von Lipwig in the television adaptation of Going Postal. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'ALWAYS PUSH YOUR LUCK BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WOULD PUSH IT FOR YOU'

Imprisoned in Ankh-Morpork, con artist Moist von Lipwig is offered a choice: to be executed or to accept a job as the city's Postmaster General.

It's a tough decision, but he's already survived one hanging and isn't in the mood to try it again.

The Post Office is down on its luck: beset by mountains of undelivered mail, eccentric employees, and a dangerous secret order. To save his skin, Moist will need to restore the postal service to its former glory, with the help of tough talking activist Adora Belle Dearheart. Who happens to be very attractive, in an 'entire womanful of anger' kind of way.

But there's new technology to compete against and an evil chairman who will stop at nothing to delay Ankh-Morpork's post for good...

The first book in the Discworld series-The Colour of Magic-was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Eleştirmen yorumları

'His world, increasingly subtle and thoughtful, has become as allegorical and satirical as a painting by Bosch ... Pratchett's joy in his creations, in jokes, puns, the idea of letters and language itself makes GOING POSTAL one of the best expressions of his unstoppable flow of comic invention.'
'Like many of Pratchett's best comic novels, it is a book about redemption ... There's a moral toughness here, which is one of the reasons why Pratchett is never merely frivolous.'
'With all the puns, strange names and quick-fire jokes about captive letters demanding to be delivered, it's easy to miss how cross about injustice Terry Pratchett can be. This darkness and concrete morality sets his work apart from imitators of his English Absurd school of comic fantasy.'
'Terry Pratchett is one of the great makers of what Auden called 'secondary worlds'. His inventiveness - with people with plots, with things - is seemingly inexhaustible ... Pratchett can make you giggle helplessly and then grin grimly at the sharpness of his wit. Twelve-year old boys love him, but he himself is grown up. He knows that terrible things exist and happen, and he invents a benign otherworld in which we can face them, and laugh.'
'Pratchett ... is the missing link between Douglas Adams and J.K. Rowling. To non-initiates his work is gobbledygook, but dig deeper and you find the wit and imaginationthat have gained him a fanatical readership - among them is A.S. Byatt.'

Thoroughly enjoyed this reading. Richard Coyle is an absolutely brilliant narrator, puts me in mind of the amazing Andy Serkis with his range of voices..I will be purchasing the other two without a doubt. Well done..

I'm actually so happy with this, Richard Coyle does a brilliant job, manages to make the book feel like it lasts longer and even more engaging. Good range of voices too. Well done that man, looking forward to the rest of his run now 👏 👍

Fantastic!

Richard Coyle, reprising the role in audio form that he played in the TV adaptation has the voice and attitude of Moist von Lipwig nailed down. The various voices he uses are generally spot on, and in some of them it feels like there is more than one main narrator.

A near perfect adaptation

So good, so very, very good. Loving these new STP audiobooks. Richard Coyle’s narration is excellent. I especially enjoyed the excursions to Peaky Blinders! Sir Terry is an unparalleled story teller and Going Postal is one of his finest. Five stars all round. (Michael).

Well, it's between this and Night Watch, but this can be read without having read any others. moist Von Lipwig is a character like no other, an absolute genius creation as is Spike and of course, Vetinari.
The book is wonderful, it's hilarious, exciting, cinematic and very moving.
Richard Coyle reads it brilliantly.

If you've never listened to a Discworld, this is a superb place to start. You'll fall in love.
