Znaczy się z tym pokazaniem się Rebisu to ja cytowałem Ciebie U, tylko zapomniałem dodać [quote] 
No w każdym razie ja dzisiaj wysyłam maila do Rebisu i Prószka bo chcę się dowiedzieć o co chodzi. Bo nie jestem zadowolony. |

| Pisałem do REBISU. Prawa do Nation mają i na pewno ma wyjść w 2009. Tłumacz jeszcze niewybrany, ale ani słowa o Kotarskim nie było, co dobrze wróży... W końcu trochę już minęło od czasu ostatniego Rebisowego Pratchetta, więc może pan Kotarski nie ma już pierwszeństwa do kolejnych tłumaczeń. Poczekamy, zobaczymy. |

masakra
Szczerze powiedziawszy to nie zdawałem sobie sprawy ze skali problemu...
Może trzeba by jakąś petycję napisać czy coś, żeby książkę tłumaczył ktoś kto rozumie ideę tłumaczenia.
a jeśliby wydali Johnnych, Nomów, Dysk i Ciemną stronę... na porządnym papierze i w ładnej, twardej oprawie, to bym kupił.
edit> re up - to napisz do nich jeszcze jaki był główny problem z Kotarskim i zapytaj się czy reedycje będą HC. |

Wystarczyło by tylko, żeby się nie rozpadały, bo z tego co pamiętam książki Pratchetta z tego wydawnictwa miały to do siebie. |

W skrócie:
- Pracz widział I cz. dokumentu jaki będzie o nim i wg niego to kawał dobrej roboty
- Co do zdrowia to czuje się dobrze
- Pracz pisze sobie nieustannie Unseen Academicals
| T. Pratchett napisał/a: | Folks,
We have seen the first half of the BBC documentary and it looks pretty good. Importantly, it would seem at the moment that we have witnessed that rarest of things, a film crew that has been allowed into a convention and hasn’t tried to stuff the fans. Some of you know you were filmed in costume, and that’s it. There’s footage of the reading and stuff, but the general look and tone is some distance away from the usual “Star Trek Loonies” portrayal. There’s also reasonable footage of the signing at the Southbank back in June and we are assuming that the Hayling Island / Waterstones Piccadilly day will be in part two. We definitely noticed a few of the usual suspects such as Dave Boggis and Rentawitch. It's going to be good.
You might also be interested to know that Charlie Russell, our John Grierson Award nominated director, can be seen on BBC 2 at 10:50pm this Sunday, November 16th, in the documentary he made about his father. It’s a very powerful piece and well worth watching.
The BBC ‘With Great Pleasure’ event is apparently sold out and there is nothing we can do about it. We don’t have our own allocation and I don’t want to offend anyone by saying that this office is in enough perpetual turmoil not to include Box Office Services as part of our workload  )
Those of you who were kind enough to subscribe to the ‘Trees for Terry’ drive around my birthday this year might be interested to hear that we have acquired a derelict woodland nearby that this winter will be replanted mostly with hazel and cob. Many thanks to all. We don’t expect to be able to photograph the green shoots until around the spring.
Finally, right now I feel fine. This is largely due to the fact that we are more or less out from under the massive amounts of commitments we have taken on this year, although I do have to deliver a large petition to Number 10 Downing Street on 26th November. Another reason is that I seem to be working around the problems successfully. Typing is still a bugger, but in most respects you would have to know me very well to know that anything was wrong. I also noticed recently that the Daily Mail, gods bless them, announced that I can’t dress myself. This must have come as a huge surprise, not least to me, since I dressed myself this morning. It is true that if you handed me a shirt with one sleeve inside out it would take me a little while to work out the topography, but I do seem to be getting better at that.
In the past two days we have written more than 2,500 words on Unseen Academicals.
Finally, I am delighted to be receiving an honorary Doctorate of Literature (LittD) from Dublin University (Trinity College Dublin) on 12th December. I'm sure that there will be photos.The BBC ‘With Great Pleasure’ event is apparently sold out and there is nothing we can do about it.

Kawalarz z tego Pratchetta. 
[ Komentarz dodany przez: Uboot: 19 Listopad 2008, 14:31 ]
Krejt po ponad 30 książkach doszedł, na podstawie krótkiej notki, że Pracz to kawalarz. 
Za to Cię kochamy Kejciu.

Pterry dostał "honorary degree" (to się chyba u nas nazywa tytuł Honoris Causa) uniwersytetu w Trinity.
"In December Terry received an honorary degree from Trinity College
Dublin along with Sir David Attenborough."

Reakcja Terry'ego na otrzymanie tytułu sir Pratchett:
| Cytat: | Folks,
There are times when the phrase “Absolutely, totally, gobsmackingly, mindbogglingly amazed” just doesn’t cover it, but I find that in the Queen’s New Year Honours list I am now a Knight, for services to literature. This means that fans, while not calling me Sir, must now refrain from throwing things. Regrettably, no sword is included in the box 
What more can a modest Knight say?
Happy New Year, which on Discworld is the Year of the Pensive Hare. |

Film będzie się skupiał na Pterrym, czy będzie też mówił o problemach chorych na Alzheimera w Wielkiej Brytanii?
Wiem, że Terry mocno lobbuje o większe fundusze na wykrywanie, leczenie i szukanie nowych leków na tę chorobę. |

Artykuł Terry'ego o śmierci z asystowaniem. Warto przeczytać a tu: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/h...ire/8127457.stm pooglądać.
A poniżej najnowsze info od Pracza:
| Cytat: | Folks,
Today we have been finishing the editing of Unseen Academicals.
It has been an immensely complex month with the Darwin Festival in Cambridge, the Oldie literary lunch, an honorary doctorate from Bradford; all of which has been exacerbated by a breakdown in one of our main machines.
Next week we go to see the National to discuss their upcoming adaptation of Nation. It will be my first actual physical contact with them.
Now, what you have all been waiting for; we have just received the following from Mob films. It pretty much speaks for itself and one can tell by some of the little details that they have become used to dealing with fans This is their show and now that we have got to know them, we are leaving it to them to select whom so ever they consider most suitable. We are not seeking nor do we expect any special choice in the matter and so please do not contact us in the hope that we can push you forward, because we can’t.
Quite a lot of our time has been spent experimenting with Dragon Dictate v10. The trouble with speech-to-text software is that it’s at its best when it has a limited vocabulary. The program is pretty ace at business and legal letters, but an author potentially uses just about everybody’s vocabularies and it doesn’t understand, for example, the difference between in and inn. It would be handy if it could have a drop-down menu in cases like that. It could also do with a more sensible interface. Nevertheless, we are educating it as we go and it’s certainly an improvement on my typing now. We did like the rendition of pioneer as ‘pie on ear’ and for some reason it will occasionally throw up a speech-to-text translation which no amount of forensic study will recognise as the original words said. However, it’s helped me write a large chunk of I Shall Wear Midnight and quite a few episodes from a possible autobiography.
I shall see a few of the lucky ones on set very soon.
All the best. |

Nowości od Terry'ego:
| Cytat: | Folks,
I had a lovely letter the other day from very religious lady concerned about my health. She said that I should consider my Alzheimer's a gift from God. Frankly, I would have preferred a sweater...
Coming back from the North American Discworld Convention has hardly been a rest and so my own personal con report and additional thanks has had to be delayed. More on that later.
On the up side, the progress on I Shall Wear Midnight is rapid, thanks to Dragon Dictate and rather more to the guys at TalkingPoint - the front end that makes it much easier to use - who made contact with me through this very page. I'm so impressed by it, that if my typing ability came back overnight, I would continue to use it. I have no hesitation in praising the product as I have already paid for two licenses and a year's maintenance. Anyway, we have to do this stuff otherwise what was the point of Star Trek?
The next few weeks are pretty well stuffed with things to do regarding Unseen Academicals and the celebration football match in Wincanton at which I shall break my life long vow of never watching a game of football.
The next big public thing in our diary is the Irish Discworld convention, which takes in the Falls Hotel in Ennistymon Co. Clare from the 6th to 9th November.
More later, |
| Cytat: | I expect that most of you know that I am determined to die peacefully in my own garden before my Alzheimer's has reached its most unpleasant stage, which might still be quite some time away. That is why I am now a patron of Dignity in Dying and my new friends there have asked me to pass on this link to a petition to properly legalise well regulated assisted dying in the UK.
It has been put together by people who know their stuff and have some political awareness; if it had been written by me the paper would have burst into flames because I believe the religious right, having lost the original suicide debate in the 60s/70s and the abortion debate in the 60s are really getting behind this one and are portraying what could be a carefully and sympathetically delivered service to people with serious, debilitating and untreatable diseases as if it's an open door to a nationwide cull of old people. Their arguments are frequently pernicious and highly objectionable and must be combated.
Many thanks. |

| Terry Pratchett napisał/a: | Folks,
So many people have contacted me since the Richard Dimbleby lecture that there is no possibility at all that I can reply to everyone individually.
Generally speaking people are asking what they can do to help, support and, indeed, take some control over their own death. The people to contact for all this are at Dignity in Dying – www.dignityindying.org.uk - they can campaign better than two blokes in an office.
I'm getting some interesting letters though, some of them are from couples who have refrained from having children for the good of the planet, and now fear facing their final illness with no one to fight their corner. The same thinking seems to be affecting people who are happily single. Suddenly the ties of family seem more attractive than once they did. As one lady said "saying that friends are the new family is all very well, but it starts to ring hollow as we get older.”
I want to make it clear what it is that I have been saying recently since retelling can change things.
I think that assisted death should be available to people who clearly have a serious and incurable disease and are demonstrably capable of making their wishes felt and clearly do understand their situation.
And that is that. Causing or assisting the death of somebody who has not made their wishes publicly clear should be treated, at least initially, as murder. If there are exonerating circumstances, then the legal system is capable of recognising these. We are not, by and large an uncaring and punitive society.
The tribunal idea which the charity Dignity in Dying is investigating is a suggestion, and at the moment only that.
I believe it could help those unclear about the law and the guidelines, and also act as a gentle filter, identifying the hypothetical pressured grannies that opponents of assisted dying continue to summon up as an argument, but also perhaps to suggest that a future that currently looks dark may yet be improved. I suspect that the majority of people seeking assisted death will be individuals in every sense of the word, looking for an organised death after a productive and organised life. I'm probably one of them. But I must say, it is a pleasure to meet other people with PCA, even if only to share anecdotes with those who truly know where you're coming from. A trouble shared is not halved, whatever the proverb says, but at least it is understood.
The generation currently sliding into old age must surely be the first one ever to grow up unfamiliar with the realities of death. It has been hidden away, not spoken of, not acknowledged. It would be better for our mental health to do so.
I can just remember, when I was a child, that sometimes you would see somebody wearing a black band around their arm, as a sign of mourning. I’ve seldom seen them as an adult. But now the task of dying is left to us, we might as well get good at it.
On a more cheeful note, I’m working my way through the second draft of I Shall Wear Midnight, but as ever fighting for writing time among all the other calls. I shall be back on the sofa of the One Show on Thursday 11th February at 7pm on BBC One and I hope to get my Seamstresses Guild Crest before bumping into Christine Bleakley again
Late News: We’ve been told that my sword is ready for viewing; I couldn’t have any hand in the making of the horn hilt or the silverwork. Sadly, I won’t get to see it until next week.
All the best. |
