[Book News] Night Watch by Terry Pratchett to join the Penguin Classics series in April 2025
"... here's some advice, boy. Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions".
The Penguin Classics series includes the best of world literature, across genres, countries and centuries. Terry Pratchett joins a long and illustrious line of literature's greats – a hugely welcome acknowledgement of the brilliance of Sir Terry's literary canon.
Night Watch exemplifies Terry at his finest – with Commander Sam Vimes facing bloody revolutions and corruption, the novel satirises political power, while proving profoundly empathetic, encompassing the importance of community, connection, and the tenacity of the human spirit.
This edition of Night Watch includes a new foreword by Rob Wilkins and an introduction and annotations by Dr David Lloyd and Dr Darryl Jones, contextualising the novel and Pratchett's far-reaching legacy for new readers and current fans alike.
