Something is amiss at Unseen Unversity, Ankh-Morpork's most prestigious (i.e., only) institution of higher learning. A professor is missing—but a search party is on the way! A bevy of senior wizards will follow the trail wherever it leads—even to the other side of Discworld, where the Last Continent, Fourecks, is under construction. Imagine a magical land where rain is but a myth and the ordinary is strange and the past and present run side by side. experience the terror as you encounter a Mad Dwarf, the Peach Butt, and the dreaded Meat Pie Floater.Feel the passion as the denizens of the Last Continent learn what happens when rain falls and the rivers fill with water (it spoils regattas, for one thing). Thrill to the promise of next year's regatta, in remote, rustic Didjabringabeeralong. It'll be asolutely gujeroo (no worries).

Tal vez un poco menos redondo que su predecesor, tiempos interesantes, pero aun así muy divertido.

La estructura es similar, tenemos la trama de Rincewind por un lado y la de los magos de la universidad por otra y que luego tienen nexos comunes. Me ha parecido especialmente brillante unas escenas en las que la dicotomía teologia - ciencia sobre la creación de la vida dan pie a unos dialogos excelentes y que nos pone en nuestro sitio como humanidad dandonos una buena cura de humildad

Ahora solo queda El Atlético invisible, ya que El último héroe esta descatalogado y la gente esta enferma vendiendolo a precios que ni el baul mágico podria pagar

Quite a treat. Rincewind, The Luggage and the Librarian all showed up in this adventure.

I skipped through about 1/3 of this book because it just dragged on and on… and on. Perhaps I’ve read too many Rincewind novels in a row and spoiled my wizard appetite. Got to the end out of pure spite and I’m glad I’ll never have to read it again.
