En la estela de los 3 primeros e incluso mejor, el mundodisco sigue siendo divertidÃsimo de leer y la manera que tiene Pratchett de narrar podrÃa hacer que me leyera el libro de una sentada. ( ) Estar descubriendo a Terry Pratchett con esta excelente traducción al catalán esta siendo una maravilla. Aunque ya empece Mort en su momento, me pillo en una mala época lectora, y casi doy gracias a ello porque esta vez lo he disfrutado mucho. El estilo de Pratchett, los temas que trata y la acidez con la que lo hace a veces es autenticamente genial. Equal Rites sigue siendo mi favorita, pero de momento no hay lectura suya que no me haya dejado contentisimo. Ojala hubieramos podido disfrutar de él más años. Mort finds himself apprenticed to Death Problems arise when he fails to take the life of a princess. Very good, but points deducted for flawed audio production decisions. It's obvious that Penguin hasn't cared to match the audio quality of Bill Nighy's footnotes with the text (in this and other books). Having Peter Serafinowicz voice Death is a brilliant production choice, but casts into relief how very weak Sian Clifford's efforts are to imitate Death's tones when Mort starts gaining Death's aspect. It should have been a simple matter to add some production effects, like a slight hollow echo, to Death Mort. In general, Clifford was very good, set off by a few braying or squeaky characterizations. In this Discworld installment, Death comes to Mort with an offer he can't refuse -- especially since being, well, dead isn't compulsory. As Death's apprentice, he'll have free board and lodging, use of the company horse, and he won't need time off for family funerals. The position is everything Mort thought he'd ever wanted, until he finds himself filling in for the grim reaper and discovers that this perfect job can be a killer on his love life. Things get complicated, when Mort, out of love and chivalry, prevents the scheduled demise of a pretty teenage princess, thus his actions cause a rift in the course of history from that point on, causing two realities to exist simultaneously on the Discworld, confusing the locals no end. Meanwhile, Death is off enjoying a much needed holiday, discovering for the first time this strange human thing called "fun," and deciding he rather likes life now that he's had a chance to see what it's all about. This is a wonderful book by Terry Pratchett, possibly one of my favorites. To take a theme such as death and turn it into a story that is this amusing and warm-hearted is a remarkable achievement. Mort marks Death’s first major appearance in the Discworld series, and is one of Pratchett's early works but it serves as a great entry point into Discworld. Death is one my favorite Discworld characters. And it's really to Sir Pratchett's credit, that beneath the gags there's a really warm and endearing outlook on life, death, and the need to cherish the time we have before us.... Reread 2022. I will forever love this book.
