Большинство из нас, вырастая, всегда знали, что нужно прикасаться к дереву или скрещивать пальцы, и что происходит, когда принцесса целует лягушку или мальчик вытаскивает меч из камня, но, к сожалению, некоторые из этих вещей сейчас начинают забываться. Легенды, мифы, сказки: наш мир состоит из историй, которые мы рассказывали себе о том, откуда мы пришли и как мы туда попали. То же самое происходит и в Плоском мире, за исключением того, что существа, которые на Земле являются плодами воображения - такие как вампиры, тролли, ведьмы и, возможно, боги, - реальны, живы и в некоторых случаях брыкаются на Диске • В "Фольклоре плоского мира" Терри Пратчетт объединяется с ведущим британским фольклористом Жаклин Симпсон, чтобы непочтительно, но в то же время проясняюще взглянуть на живые мифы и фольклорный материал, которые отражены, прославляются и с любовью поносятся в уникальной творческой вселенной Плоского мира

Winner of the Parliamentary Book Award, best memoir by a Parliamentarian, 2016 • From the condemned slums of Southam Street in West London to the corridors of power in Westminster, Alan Johnson’s multi-award-winning autobiography charts an extraordinary journey, almost unimaginable in today’s Britain. This third volume tells of Alan’s early political skirmishes as a trades union leader, where his negotiating skills and charismatic style soon came to the notice of Tony Blair and other senior members of the Labour Party • As a result, Alan was chosen to stand in the constituency of Hull West and Hessle, and entered Parliament as an MP after the landslide election victory for Labour in May 1997. But this is no self-aggrandizing memoir of Westminster politicking and skulduggery

He has rowed across the Atlantic, walked to the South Pole, run the Sahara and ice-skated across Sweden.
