‘I could tell which of my fellow tube passengers had downloaded it to their e-readers by the bouts of spontaneous laughter’ Ben Aaronovitch, Guardian The Discworld is very much like our own – if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . Change is in the air for Moist von Lipwig , swindler, con-man, and (naturally) head of the Royal Bank and Post Office. A steaming, clanging new invention – a steam locomotive named Iron Girder , to be precise – is drawing astonished crowds. Suddenly it’s a matter of national importance that the trains run on time. Moist does not enjoy hard work. His input at the bank and post office consists mainly of words, which are not that heavy. Or greasy. And it certainly doesn’t involve rickety bridges, runaway cheeses or a fat controller with knuckledusters. What Moist does enjoy is being alive, which may not be a perk of running the new railway. Because, of course, some people have OBJECTIONS, and they’ll go to extremes to stop locomotion in its tracks.____________________ The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Raising Steam is the third and final book in the Moist von Lipwig series.

The Curious Life of the Cuckoo - John Lewis Stempel - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Curious Life of the Cuckoo - John Lewis Stempel - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The perfect gift for nature lovers, in this beautifully illustrated small format hardback, John Lewis-Stempel delves into the cuckoo's unique behaviour and captivating role in our cultural imagination, in folklore, myth, literature and music, turning his exquisite prose to one of the strangest tales of the countryside. ---Is there any bird more mysterious than the cuckoo?It is invariably heard, and not seen. And if seen, it is mistaken for a sharp-winged hawk. The female cuckoo - by a trick that borders on alchemy - is able to disguise its egg as another's. In Greek myth the god Zeus assumed the form of a cuckoo to seduce Hera. But we forgive the cuckoo its con-artistry, because it is the true herald of spring. It is the bird that uplifts our wintered hearts, with that first two-note 'cuk-koo' unmistakable as it sounds across the country. In The Curious Life of the Cuckoo, John Lewis-Stempel explains one of nature's greatest enigmas in vivid, lyrical prose, and celebrates this iconic bird. ---?That John Lewis-Stempel is one of the best nature writers of his generation is undisputed.? ? Country Life?His immense, patient powers of observation ? along with a flair for the anthropomorphic ? mean he is able to offer a portrait of animal life that's rare in its colour and drama.? ? Observer?Engaging, closely-observed and beautiful ... this author?s deep love of the world around him is as inspiring as it is entertaining.? ? Daily Mail?John Lewis-Stempel is the hottest nature writer around.? ? Spectator?It?s his observation of the natural world ? the sight, the sound, the smell of it ? that is so memorable. He has a distinctively brisk, muscular style of writing that has a poetic intensity and concision. ? Guardian?His prose is immaculate? ?
