The months in Angers are over, so it is time for new projects in the blog. Unfortunately there are not enough races, to fill the blog with reports only horse in nature. Since I was in another project idea is not sure whether it is good, now receives the first category food for bookworms moving into the blog.
kicked off by a work of British fantasy author Terry Pratchett with the (German) Title Wyrd Sisters (In the original version: Wyrd Sisters, which admittedly would not work in German). Why do I start with this book, well, probably because I was reading this book, the idea to express my enthusiasm about expression. Here I am usually not the fantasy reader, but the Pratchett books, at least the three that I have read of the countless works of the author so far liked it very much.
How easily recognizable by the title, is Wyrd Sisters inspired by some work of a not entirely unknown Englishman. But the book belongs to the well-known series of Pratchett's Discworld novels is not a simple Macbeth rip-off, rather, sets the work apart at times very ironic way with the presentation and offers surprising twists and refinements. After all, there is a king, the - befitting - is stabbed, a crazy Duke, who seizes power in the Kingdom Lancre in itself, a secret heir to the throne, but rather plays the theater to be and of course three witches as ruler. At meetings in "thunder, lightning or in rain", these do not, however. Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and the young witch Magrat are assessed as far more practical. In addition, the three know that it does not interfere in royal affairs, which is finally a fast rule. Actually. For, as Nanny Ogg says, there is a much more important rule: "If you violate rules, should they break very thoroughly." A principle that the three thoroughly befolgen und so gibt es ein großes Tohuwabohu mit einem zeitreisenden Königreich, einer Schaustellertruppe, die sich auf den Weg nach Lancre macht, einer intrigierenden Herzogin und einem Hofnarren, der einer Hexe den Kopf verdreht und am Ende vielleicht am Beginn einer neuen Dynastie steht.
