It isn't much of an island that rises up one moonless night from the depths of the Circle Sea -- just a few square miles of silt and some old ruins. Unfortunately, the historically disputed lump of land called Leshp is once again floating directly between Ankh-Morpork and the city of Al-Khali on the coast of Klatch -- which is spark enough to ignite that glorious internationalpastime called "war."

Review of 'Jingo' on 'Goodreads'

5 stelle

Pratchett mi stupisce ancora una volta. Riesce a far ridere anche trattando di un argomento che di divertente non ha nulla, ovvero la guerra. E senza per questo risultare ingenuo o superficale. Tanto di cappello.

P.S.: voglio Havelock Vetinari come primo ministro.
