Synopsis "The Ankh-Morpork Archives: Volume two "

Containing material unavailable for twenty years -- this is a comprehensive guide to the capital city of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, getting to the heart of Ankh-Morpork's secrets, societies and guilds. Ankh-Morpork is a bottomless pit of secrets. It's time to unearth a few more . . . In the second volume of this confidential guide, brave travellers are made privy to the inner workings of more illustrious Ankh-Morpork societies. Disabuse yourself of notions of professionalism under which you may hold the City Watch; discover what serious business is undertaken by the Fools' Guild (joking is no laughing matter); and, should you be lucky, achieve true enlightenment through the teachings of Lu-Tze. One thing's for sure: after you've read this book, Ankh-Morpork's Guilds are going to need to come up with new ways of doing things. Completely revamped and redesigned, this full-colour book contains material from Discworld Diaries across the decades.

His prolific work includes about seventy books, which have been translated into almost forty languages, and has sold more than eighty-five million copies worldwide.

In 2009, he was knighted by the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his services to literature. His secret? Nothing escaped the smart, relaxed, and ironic gaze of this author who, in the best British satirical tradition, subverted all genres. In addition to being the creator of Discworld and the series of stories set there, he is the author of the standalone novel Dodger and co-author, with Stephen Baxter, of the Long Earth series.
