Regimiento Monstruoso (Mundodisco #Volumen 31)
by Terry PratchettEn Regimiento Monstruoso, una novela independiente pero que se sitúa en la trigésimo primera posición en la serie del «Mundodisco», se narra una de las historias de guerra más pacifistas (y divertidas) que se han escrito. Pequeño y montañoso, Borogravia está regido por una duquesa a quien nadie ha visto en décadas y por los rígidos preceptos del dios Nuggan, para quien todo es una Abominación (los estados vecinos son una Abominación, que las mujeres sepan escribir es una Abominación, como también lo son el ajo, los pelirrojos o el color azul celeste). Además, Borogravia está en guerra desde tiempos inmemoriales. Apenas quedan jóvenes que reclutar y, aprovechando la situación de emergencia nacional, Polly decide alistarse para buscar a su hermano Paul, desaparecido en combate. Para ello deberá cometer una Abominación blasfema: disfrazarse de hombre. Cortarse el pelo y llevar pantalones será fácil. Dominar el artede escupir, eructar, soltar tacos y andar con las piernas separadas y cierta chulería requerirá algo más de tiempo y un par de calcetines. Pronto, Polly y los otros reclutas se verán, sin apenas entrenamiento, adentrándose en territorio enemigo. Suerte que cuentan con el sargento más artero de todo el ejército, un vampiro adicto a la cafeína, el bueno, el Secreto y todas las artimañas del Regimiento Monstruoso. Reseña:«Con cada libro de la serie de "Mundodisco" que ve la luz, crece la maestría del autor Terry Pratchett. Un creador firmemente comprometido con la readiografía certera de nuestro mundo a través de un prisma repleto de humor y fantasía.»Qué leer
