DISCWORLD IN CATALAN!

[RathDarkblade]

Um - I can't see the new cover? *confused*

 

[Tonyblack]

Oooh! I like that a lot.

 

[=Tamar]

It's almost authentic to the book, only influenced by the movie in making Maurice orange instead of "mucky tabby". Maurice is sitting on Keith's head and the rodents are climbing all over them. Keith looks upset. Sardines is dancing on the flute.

Can I please have the link to the new cover? I can't see it in Mixa's post. (Pretty please with strawberries?)

[Tonyblack]

Hopefully that works.

 

[RathDarkblade]

Hey, it worked!

"Illustrats", eh? Well, they're certainly illustrious ... for what, I'll never tell.

Hello, hello, hello! I've got news!

This autumn Mai Més will publish "Wyrd Sisters", and this is the cover:



And we'll be able to read "Men at arms" in Catalan next Christmas, yay!!

[Tonyblack]

Wow! That's great. Although I think Magrat looks too pretty.

 

[RathDarkblade]

I agree with Tony. Magrat's hair should be thin and weedy (just like Magrat herself), with strands of dead flowers woven therein.

On the other hand, the illustrator got the hang of Magrat's jewellery -- he just needs to add more. Lots more. Bangles and armlets and necklaces and rings and earrings, preferably cheap-looking. Magrat isn't fussy.

 

[Mixa]

I totally agree with you! Magrat looks way prettier than she is

 

[RathDarkblade]

Bangles and armlets and rings for all fingers;
Necklaces, earrings, and perfume that lingers.
Strands of dead flowers - but roses? What rot!
These are the things that Magrat wears a lot ...

(A quatrain I dashed off in about a minute. Sorry, "My Favourite Things". =P Feel free to continue if you like - it's fun)

Hello everyone! I wanted to post this yesterday (#GNUTerryPratchett), but I couldn't... Sooo I'm here today to show you new cover reveals for the Catalan editions... "Men at arms" and "A stroke of the pen" (the pre-order edition comes with a lilac pin, I love it!):

What do you think?

LOL! I love the cover of "Men at Arms", even if it kind of spoils the surprise about the "It's a w-" (woman/werewolf) gag. Then again, Angua was in the original cover too.

Less obvious are the representations of Cuddy and Detritus (Don'tsalute! ). But why the is tape over Detritus's eyes?

Of course, I love the hilarious sour expression on Vimes's face.

I haven't read "A Stroke of the Pen" just yet, but it's in my pile of Books To Read Next(TM).
