Beschreibung

Commander Vimes stood at the pinnacle of power, a Duke with all the trappings of wealth and respectability in the bustling city of Ankh-Morpork. However, an unexpected twist of fate sends him hurtling back in time, thrusting him into the chaotic and murky streets of his past. Here, he must navigate a world rife with corruption and inequality, all while trying to fulfill his duties as a watchman in a city that can be as dark as night itself.

As Vimes grapples with the challenges of his earlier life, he encounters a host of colorful characters, from the clever and cunning to the outright absurd. Each encounter shapes his understanding of justice and leadership, bringing forth lessons that resonate beyond his time. Through wit, grit, and an unwavering sense of duty, Vimes embarks on a journey that tests not only his strength but also the very essence of what it means to protect the innocent and uphold the law.

Night Watch turns out to be an unexpectedly moving novel about sacrifice and responsibility, its final scenes leaving one near tears. Terry Pratchett may still be pegged as a comic novelist, but he’s a lot more.

One of my favourite Discworld books to re-read, I love Vimes as a character and the story is always relevant. It has fantasy, comedy, tragedy, politics and morals = perfect!
