Sobre este artículo
New York:: HarperCollins,, (2003). Hardcover first edition -. Very good in very good dust jacket (some wear to the top edge). First US printing. Novel by a writer who is arguably the best satirist and humorist writing in English today - From a review by Michael Dirda of the Washington Post: 'More and more he is using his wit and brilliant talent for characterization and dialogue to attack every kind of intolerance, especially the imbecilities and cruelties of the modern nation-states.' Polly disguises herself as a young boy and, out of patriotism, joins the Army . 353 pp.
Sinopsis
War has come to Discworld ... again.And, to no one's great surprise, the conflict centers around the small, arrogantly fundamentalist duchy of Borogravia, which has long prided itself on its unrelenting aggressiveness. A year ago, Polly Perks's brother marched off to battle, and Polly's willing to resort to drastic measures to find him. So she cuts off her hair, dons masculine garb, and -- aided by a well-placed pair of socks -- sets out to join this man's army. Since a nation in such dire need of cannon fodder can't afford to be too picky, Polly is eagerly welcomed into the fighting fold-along with a vampire, a troll, an Igor, a religious fanatic, and two uncommonly close "friends." It would appear that Polly "Ozzer" Perks isn't the only grunt with a secret. But duty calls, the battlefield beckons. And now is the time for all good ... er ... "men" to come to the aid of their country.
