4.32
Part of "Discworld" series
In 'Thud!' by Terry Pratchett, the 34th book in the Discworld series, the city of Ankh-Morpork is once again the setting for a delightful blend of humor, mystery, and social commentary. This time, the focus is on the city's dwarfs, who are preparing to celebrate a religious holiday that commemorates a long-ago battle. The story begins when Sam Vimes, commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, is called to the site of a murder. The victim is a dwarf, and the only clue is a single word: "Dibbler." This sends Vimes on a quest to uncover the truth, leading him to delve into the city's seedy underbelly and confront the deep-seated prejudices that exist between dwarfs and trolls. Pratchett uses the murder mystery as a vehicle to explore themes of tolerance, acceptance, and the power of tradition. The dwarfs' holiday, Hogswatch, is a time of both celebration and tension, as the city's dwarfs and trolls come together to honor their shared history while also grappling with their differences. At the heart of the story is Vimes, who must navigate the complexities of dwarf and troll culture while also dealing with his own personal demons. As he investigates the murder, Vimes is forced to confront his own biases and come to terms with the fact that the city he loves is changing, whether he likes it or not. Pratchett's signature wit and humor are on full display in 'Thud!', making for a fast-paced and entertaining read. But beneath the laughter, there is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be part of a community, and the importance of understanding and accepting those who are different from us. Overall, 'Thud!' is a standout addition to the Discworld series, and a must-read for fans of Pratchett's unique blend of humor, fantasy, and social commentary...
