Dans la série des découvertes "révolution industrielle" de la bonne ville d'Ankh Morpork ("bonne" dans le sens où celui qui vous assassine est un gentleman et laisse un reçu), Pratchett ajoute le Football. Et, même pour quelqu'un qui n'est pas fan de ce sport, il faut bien dire que le roman est très sympathique. Par contre, il faut avouer que Pratchett fatigue : certains personnages sentent le réchauffé (Glenda est trop proche de Tiphaine Patraque), certains rebondissements font "recette"... CA reste très bien mais ça m'inquiète pour la suite. ( )
That professors are impractical, though, is rather old information. It's said that Einstein couldn't remember where he parked his car, but isn't it more important that he came up with the special theory of relativity? The stylistic razzle-dazzle notwithstanding, rehashing a cliche gets tiresome because whether it's a game or a novel, fans want to be surprised. I wouldn't call this the best Discworld novel ever. But it's in the top five. The secret of Terry Pratchett's comic fantasy isn't so much the wackiness of the fantasy as the reliability of the comedy. The very least you get in any of these 400 pages is amiable, agreeable chuntering, and there is an instructively regular provision of terrific lines. This is the 37th in a body of work so vast that it has spawned its own concordance, yet the quality remains as high as ever and the laughs as plentiful. Though the book suffers from a few awkward moments (Pratchett’s attempts to discuss racism through the strained relationships of dwarves, humans and goblins fall particularly flat), the prose crackles with wit and charm, and the sendups of league football, academic posturing, Romeo and Juliet and cheesy sports dramas are razor sharp and hilarious but never cruel. At its heart, this is an intelligent, cheeky love letter to football, its fans and the unifying power of sports.

The wizards of Unseen University in the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed forever. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
