À propos de cet e-book
Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, a standalone Discworld novel.
'An intriguing satire on institutionalized religion corrupted by power . . .' Independent
‘Thought-provoking comic fantasy...Sir Terry is a master satirist’ 5-star reader review
'You should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.'
Religion is a competitive business in the Discworld.
Everyone has their own opinion and their own gods, of every shape and size - all fighting for faith, followers, and a place at the top.
So when the great god Om accidentally manifests himself as a lowly tortoise, stripped of all divine power, it's clear he's become less important than he realised.
In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast. Enter Brutha, the Chosen One - or at least the only One available.
He wants peace, justice and love - but that's hard to achieve in a world where religion means power, and corruption reigns supreme . . .
The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Small Gods is a standalone.

À propos de l'auteur
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
