Tiempos Interesantes (Mundodisco #Volumen 17)
by Terry PratchettEl imperio más antiguo e inescrutable del Mundodisco anda algo revuelto... El imperio más antiguo e inescrutable del Mundodisco anda algo revuelto. Con educación, eso sí. Y la culpa de todo la tienen, por este orden: un panfleto revolucionario titulado Lo que hice en mis vacaciones..., el mago Rincewind y su fiel Equipaje..., una horda de bárbaros capitaneados por un viejo héroe llamado Gengis Cohen... y una mariposa muy especial. ¿Quizá por eso la peor maldición que se puede echar en el refinadísimo Imperio Ágata es «Ojalá vivas en tiempos interesantes»? Esta es la historia de una revolución largamente esperada y con giros insospechados. Al fin y al cabo transcurre en el Mundodisco del genial Terry Pratchett. Reseña:«Más que un autor, Terry Pratchett es un fenómeno imparable... Sus novelas son como una droga, y es un placer engancharse a su mezcla única de juegos de palabras, lógica surrealista y finas dotes de observación.»The Journal

A mid-life coming-of-age story charting one man's sexual awakening and his spectacular fall from grace in 1990s London, raising questions about art and beauty, sex and censure.Ben turns and grins ironically. 'When you stopped just now and looked at the sky, you weren't measuring it. You weren't thinking about classical proportion. You were feeling something.'Cambridge, 1994. Professor Don Lamb is a revered art historian at the height of his powers, consumed by the book he is writing about the skies of the Venetian master Tiepolo. However, his academic brilliance belies a deep inexperience of life and love. When an explosive piece of contemporary art is installed on the lawn of his college, it sets in motion Don's abrupt departure from Cambridge to take up a role at a south London museum. There he befriends Ben, a young artist who draws him into the anarchic 1990s British art scene and the nightlife of Soho. Over the course of one long, hot summer, Don glimpses a liberating new existence. But his epiphany is also a moment of self-reckoning, as his oldest friendship - and his own unexamined past - are revealed to him in a devastating new light. As Don's life unravels, he suffers a fall from grace that that shatters his world into pieces.(P) 2022 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
