Beschreibung

<p><b>A classic Discworld novel featuring Sir Terry Pratchett's signature style and wit. A fascinating and hilarious exploration of organised religion</b><br><br><i><b>'An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature' Guardian</b><br><br>'Look after the dead', said the priests, 'and the dead will look after you'.</i><br><br>Wise words in all probability, but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small and penniless country whose largesse - and indeed treasury - is unlikely to stretch to the building of a monumental pyramid to honour your dead father. And particularly when your only visible means of support is a recently acquired qualification from the Guild of Assassins where running a kingdom and basic financial acumen were not prerequisites for course entry...<br><br><b>Readers love <i>Pyramids</i>:</b><br><br>'<b>Clever, funny and amusing</b>. Very familiar and yet fresh. Maybe it's because I like mummies and ancient Egypt, <b>I enjoyed it so much, but parody on gods and religion is very witty</b>' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐<br><br><b>'Philosophically, this is the richest Discworld novel so far . . . It mounts a delightful critique of tradition and religion'</b> Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐<br><br>'Oooo, I needed that!!!! <b>Just as exquisite and funny and inelegant as I needed it to be!!!!</b> I LOVE this author!!!' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐<br><br><b>'Fantastic early largely stand-alone story in my beloved Discworld series'</b> Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐</p>
