  • "Nepotism is given an unusual spin in Pratchett's 14th Discworld novel, as Death's granddaughter picks up the scythe when the Grim Reaper takes a vacation. Trolls, dwarves, magicians and rock music played with rocks figure in this amusing but overlong romp, which begins with the formation of a band by aspiring musician Impy Celen (aka Buddy). Arriving in the city of Ankh-Morpork, Buddy finds a magical guitar which enables the group, a rock-playing troll, an ax-wielding dwarf and an Orangutan pianist to drive crowds wild. But the instrument causes conflict between the motley crew and Susan, Death's granddaughter, who is just adjusting to her new post. Many of the ensuing comic situations involve Death trying to get drunk. -- Publisher details."
  • "A satirical comedy on the subject of death. It begins when Death decides to take a holiday and turns over the shop to his granddaughter, Susan, with the assistance of Death of Rats, a rat skeleton. Unfortunately, Susan does not have the stomach for such a heartless trade and this threatens the success of the establishment. By the author of The Light Fantastic."

  • "Aux enfants ordinaires on offre des sylophones. Suzanne, elle, n'avait qu'à demander à son grand-père d'ôter son gilet... Comme il est difficile de grandir lorsque son aïeul monte un cheval blanc et manie la faux, quand son grand-père n'est autre que la mort !"
  • "When dear old granddad, the Grim Reaper, goes missing, sixteen-year-old Susan takes over the family business. At the same time, Imp the Bard looks to become a rock star."
  • "Gevatter Tod kriegt die Midlifecrisis. Als er von einem Tag auf den anderen spurlos verschwindet, muss seine Enkelin Susanne das Geschäft für ein paar Tage übernehmen. Bei ihrer neuen Arbeit bekommt sie es nur zu bald mit einem merkwürdigen Phänomen zu tun, das jede Menge Turbulenzen verursacht: Es geht um eine neue Musik, die ein Barde, ein Zwerg und ein Troll erfunden haben. Die magischen Melodien stellen Tods Enkelins vor ungeahnte Probleme: Nicht nur, dass sie im deprimierenden Haus vom Tod wohnen muss, sie verliebt sich auch noch unsterblich in den Gitarrenspieler dieser 'Band mit Steinen Drin'. Doch das Trio wird Geschichte machen - wobei Ähnlichkeiten mit lebenden Personen und Musikgruppen, siehe Titel, einmal mehr rein zufällig und völlig unbeabsichtigt sind. Terry Pratchett, geboren 1948, fand im zarten Alter von 13 Jahren den ersten Käufer für eine seiner Geschichten. Heute zählt der kleine Mann mit dem grossen schwarzen Schlapphut zu den erfolgreichsten Autoren Grossbritanniens und ist einer der populärsten Fantasy-Autoren der Welt. Seit 1983 schreibt er Scheibenwelt-Romane. Inzwischen widmet er sich ganz seiner Schöpfung, und seine Gemeinde wird täglich grösser. Dabei ist er zweifellos der Autor mit dem skurrilsten ehemaligen Beruf: Er war jahrelang Pressesprecher für fünf Atomkraftwerke beim Central Electricity Generating Board. Nach eigener Auskunft hat er nur deshalb noch kein Buch darüber geschrieben, weil es ihm ja doch keiner glauben würde. Seinen Sinn für Realsatire hat der schrille Job jedenfalls geschärft. Von seinen Scheibenwelt-Romanen wurden weltweit rund 65 Millionen Exemplare verkauft, seine Werke sind in 37 Sprachen übersetzt. Für seine Verdienste um die englische Literatur wurde ihm sogar die Ritterwürde verliehen. Umgeben von den modernsten Computern (und so durch ein Stück Schnur mit dem Rest der Welt verbunden) lebt Terry Pratchett mit seiner Frau Lyn in der englischen Grafschaft Wiltshire."

This 13th novel set in Discworld tells the story of Death's granddaughter, who inherited the job and grew to enjoy it. Amd of Imp the Bard, who strove to make his fortune in a rock band, and who was so unlucky that all his dreams came true. When her dear old Granddad -- the Grim Reaper himself -- goes missing, Susan takes over the family business. The progeny of Death's adopted daughter and his apprentice, she shows real talent for the trade. That is until a little string in her heart goes "twang." With a head full of dreams and a pocketful of lint, Imp the Bard lands in Ankh-Morpork, yearning to become a rock star. Determined to devote his life to music, the unlucky fellow soon finds that all his dreams are coming true. Well almost. In this finger-snapping, toe-tapping tale of youth, Death, and rocks that roll, Terry Pratchett once again demonstrates the wit and genius that have propelled him to the highest echelons of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen."@en
