Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

The audiobook of Monstrous Regiment is narrated by Katherine Parkinson, star of The IT Crowd and Here We Go. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'THAT'S THE TROUBLE ABOUT THE GOOD GUYS AND THE BAD GUYS! THEY'RE ALL GUYS!'

In the small yet aggressive country of Borogravia, there are strict rules citizens must follow. For a start, women belong in the kitchen - not in jobs, pubs, or indeed trousers. And certainly not on the front line.

Polly Perks has to become a boy in a hurry if she wants to find her missing brother in the army. Cutting off her hair and wearing the trousers is easy. Going to war however, is not.

Polly and her fellow raw recruits are suddenly in the thick of a losing battle. All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army and a vampire with a lust for coffee.

It's time to make a stand.

The first book in the Discworld series-The Colour of Magic-was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Opinie krytyków

'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable.'
'A true original among contemporary writers - a fantasist who loves naff humour and silly names, and yet whose absurd world is, at heart, a serious portrait of the jingoistic fears that keep us at each other's throats.'
'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody as opposed to derivative manipulation of past motifs, who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences.' (A.S. Byatt)

Wonderfully spoken, one of the best written stories of the late Sir Terry Pratchett. Can recommend to anyone, period.

Etwas düsterer und ernsthafter als man es von Pratchett gewohnt ist aber ebenso fantastisch geschrieben. Katherine Parkinson macht auch einen fantastischen Job als Sprecherin!

Tolle Geschichte, spannend erzählt!

Enjoyed this one immensely! Ms Parkinson did an amazing job by giving each character their own voice - literally! Shame this seems to be the only Discworld novel read by her.

Selten habe ich ein Buch von einem männlichen Autor gelesen, in dem mich die Darstellung von weiblichen Hauptfiguren so wenig geärgert hat, und das ist ein großes Kompliment! Ich habe diese feministische Geschichte sehr genossen. Die Sprecherin ist super, nur stellenweise konnte ich sie aufgrund der lebhaften Interpretation der Sprechweise mancher Figuren schlecht verstehen als nicht-native-speaker.

Tolle Geschichte

Although the story of Monstrous Regiment is much more serious than most other Discworld novels, Pratchett's signature style of writing and story-telling (as well as his sharp-witted, caricatural reflections on society and history) make this book a must-read for every fan. Or, in fact, a must-hear ... Katherine Parkinson does a wonderful job giving each character his or rather her own voice.

Great story, great audiobook
