この電子書籍について

Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, a standalone Discworld novel.

'An unmitigated delight . . . very, very funny' The Times

‘A political thriller set in a fantasy world and a fantasy novel involving a political thriller.... A classic from a master storyteller’ 5-star reader review

'A lie can run round the world before the truth can get its boots on.'

William de Worde has somehow found himself editor of Ankh-Morpork's first newspaper. Well, with a name like that . . .

Launched into the world of investigative journalism, alongside reporter Sacharissa Cripslock, William soon learns that the news is a risky business. For a start, his colleagues include a band of axe-wielding dwarfs and a recovering vampire with a life-threatening passion for flash photography.

It's a big news week: the most powerful man in the city has been arrested, leaving Ankh-Morpork without a leader.

And a dangerous criminal organisation will do anything to control the story . . .

The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but The Truth is a standalone.

著者について

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.
