'When you start believing in Spirits, you start believing in demons, and then before you know where you are, you're believing in Gods. And then you're in trouble.' Reality is all very well in small doses. It's a perfectly conventional and convenient way of neutralising the imagination. But sometimes when there's more than one reality at play, imagination just won't be neutralised, and the walls between realities come tumbling down. Unfortunately there's usually a damned good reason for there being walls between them in the first place. To keep things out. Things who want to make mischief and play havoc with the natural order...… (mere)

A fun and chaotic read about a wedding and elven mischief, much like a certain famous play... also featuring a healthy dose of the wonderful Discworld witches and our favorite Librarian. ( )

Quarto volume del ciclo delle streghe di Mondo Disco, una serie che continua a soprendermi in positivo dato che ogni libro è migliore del precedente.
Stavolta le mie streghe preferite sono tornate a casa e devono vedersela coi terribili elfi, che ovviamente non sono quegli esseri leggiadri ed eterei a cui siamo abituati a pensare.
Pratchett ancora una volta gioca a sovvertire le aspettative dei lettori, attingendo a piene mani dalla letteratura e dal folclore per poi reinterpretare tutto a modo suo, con quell'ironia dissacrante e vagamente nonsense che lo contraddistingue. Infatti il suo è uno stile estremamente personale e godibile su vari livelli di lettura, che si serve dello humour per affrontare temi importanti e che tra battute e giochi di parole ogni tanto riesce anche ad emozionare.
Il punto di forza restano comunque i personaggi, in primis le tre strabilianti protagoniste ma anche i comprimari, tra nani seduttori e fabbri danzerini.
Purtroppo gli ultimi due volumi inspiegabilmente non sono tradotti in italiano ma penso proprio che proverò a recuperarli in lingua originale, non voglio privarmi troppo presto della compagnia di Nonna Weatherwax e Tata Ogg. ( )

In front of her [Nanny Ogg] the cat Greebo, glad to be home again, lay on his back with all four paws in the air, doing his celebrated something-found-in-the-gutter impersonation.
'I learned my craft from Nanny Gripes,' said Granny Weatherwax, 'who learned it from Goody Heggety, who got it from Nanna Plumb, who was taught it by Black Aliss, who --'

'So what you're saying is,' said Diamanda, loading the words into the sentence like cartridges in a chamber, 'that no one has actually learned anything new?'
Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvelous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Much human ingenuity has gone into finding the ultimate Before. The current state of knowledge can be summarized thus: In the beginning, there was nothing, which exploded. Other theories about the ultimate start involve gods creating the universe out of the ribs, entrails, and testicles of their father. ** There are quite a lot of these. They are interesting, not for what they tell you about cosmology, but for what they say about people.
People think that they live life as a moving dot traveling from the Past into the Future, with memory streaming out behind them like some kind of mental cometary tail. But memory spreads out in front as well as behind. It’s just that most humans aren’t good at dealing with it, and so it arrives as premonitions, forebodings, intuitions, and hunches. Witches are good at dealing with it, and to suddenly find a blank where these tendrils of the future should be has much the same effect on a witch as emerging from a cloud bank and seeing a team of sherpas looking down on him does on an airline pilot.
