Synopsis "A Blink of the Screen: Collected Shorter Fiction"

The first career-spanning collection of short fiction by Sir Terry Pratchett--one of the most beloved and bestselling writers of our time--A Blink of the Screen charts the development of Pratchett's creative vision throughout his prolific career, from his early writings in school to the dizzy mastery of the phenomenally successful Discworld series. Along the way we are introduced to the first published pieces from Pratchett's stint as a young journalist, the experimental stories that originated his later works, and the lyrics to the national anthem of Ankh-Morpork, among other treats. Here, readers will find new and unfamiliar characters and fictional worlds alongside well-known ones. They will also find adventure, chickens, death, disco, and, actually, some quite disturbing ideas about Christmas, all infused with Pratchett's inimitable brand of humor and energy.

Fue un célebre escritor inglés que desde hace más de tres décadas ha fascinado a millones de lectores en todo el mundo con sus novelas fantásticas, divertidas y satíricas. Su prolífica obra consta de unos setenta libros, que han sido traducidos a casi cuarenta idiomas, y lleva vendidos más de ochenta y cinco millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo.

En 2009 fue nombrado caballero de la Excelentísima Orden del Imperio Británico por sus servicios a la literatura. ¿Su secreto? Nada escapaba a la mirada inteligente, desenfadada e irónica de este autor que, en la mejor tradición satírica británica, subvertía todos los géneros. Además de creador del Mundodisco y de la serie de historias emplazadas allí, es autor de la novela independiente Perillán y coautor, con Stephen Baxter, de la serie La Tierra Larga.
