The Last Hero

Pratchett´s perceptive and laugh-out-loud Discworld series is a literary phenomenon. And in The Last Hero, one aging hero with a grudge decides enough is enough. Beautifully illustrated throughout by Paul Kidby. A brand-new paperback edition of The Last Hero, featuring a new text design, glorious illustrations by Paul Kidby, and a brand-new cover by artist Leo Nicholls. ´An enduring, endearing presence in comic literature´ Guardian It stars the legendary Cohen the Barbarian, a legend in his own lifetime. Cohen can remember when a hero didn´t have to worry about fences and lawyers and civilisation, and when people didn´t tell you off for killing dragons. But he can´t always remember, these days, where he put his teeth... So now, with his ancient sword and his new walking stick and his old friends - and they´re very old friends - Cohen the Barbarian is going on one final quest. He´s going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. The last hero in the world is going to return what the first hero stole. With a vengeance. That´ll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.
