  <description><![CDATA[A Young Dwarf's Dream <p>Corporal Carrot has been promoted!He's now in charge of the new recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork, Discworld's greatest city, from Barbarian Tribes, Miscellaneous Marauders, unlicensed Thieves, and such.  It's a big job, particularly for an adopted dwarf. <p>But an even bigger job awaits.  An ancient document has just revealed that Ankh-Morpork, ruled for decades by Disorganized crime, has a secret sovereign!  And his name is Carrott... <p>And so begins the most awesome epic encounter of all time, or at least all afternoon, in which the fate of a city--indeed of the universe itself!--depends on a young man's courage, an ancient sword's magic, and a three-legged poodle's bladder.<p></p></p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[A Young Dwarf's Dream <p>Corporal Carrot has been promoted!He's now in charge of the new recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork, Discworld's greatest city, from Barbarian Tribes, Miscellaneous Marauders, unlicensed Thieves, and such.  It's a big job, particularly for an adopted dwarf. <p>But an even bigger job awaits.  An ancient document has just revealed that Ankh-Morpork, ruled for decades by Disorganized crime, has a secret sovereign!  And his name is Carrott... <p>And so begins the most awesome epic encounter of all time, or at least all afternoon, in which the fate of a city--indeed of the universe itself!--depends on a young man's courage, an ancient sword's magic, and a three-legged poodle's bladder.<p></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Le &quot;disque-monde&quot; est plat, porté par quatre éléphants debout sur le dos d'une tortue naviguant dans le cosmos. Tout le monde le sait et quoiqu'en disent certaines sectes, c'est la vérité. C'est en tout cas vrai pour cet univers délirant où toutes les règles sont faites pour être transgressées.   <p>Les héros de ce monde sont à son image : atypiques.<br/> Rincevent, magicien malchanceux froussard et raté, ne connaît qu'un seul sort mais il n'ose pas le lancer car il pourrait tout détruire.<br/> Mémé Ciredutemps, sorcière d'un certain âge, ne peut que diriger tous ceux qui l'entourent, elle ne fait d'ailleurs que très rarement usage de sa magie car tout le monde la connaît et lui obéit.<br/> La Mort, la faucheuse avec son grand suaire et sa faux bien aiguisée, grande humaniste incomprise.  <p>Pratchett consacre chacun de ses romans à un de ces personnages même s'il arrive qu'ils se rencontrent de temps en temps, car tout est possible dans cet univers totalement fou et plein d'humour qui n'est pas sans rappeler ceux de Fredric Brown (<em>Martiens, go home !</em>) ou de Robert Sheckley (<em>La Dimension des miracles</em>). <em>--Laurent Schneitter</em>   </p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Definitely the Discworld series spans almost all genres but in the Night Watch portion of it it appeals to anyone who likes film noir, mysteries, and fantasy.  However its main appeal is the humor - because if you don't like to laugh, this is not the book to read, nor is Pratchett at all.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6580212">more...</a>]]></body>
