Лучшие книги Пола Кидби

Пол Кидби — художник, которого Терри Пратчетт специально избрал для оформления своих книг в далеком 2002 году. С тех пор он работал с каждой книгой Пратчетта, полностью проиллюстрировал роман "Последний герой" и выпустил бестселлер "Искусство Плоского мира". В "Имаджинариуме" собрано более 200 иллюстраций и эскизов - портреты героев, интерьеры Незримого Университета и Псевдополис Ярда, пейзажи Анк-Морпорка и Убервальда. Терри Пратчетт подарил своим персонажам жизнь, а Пол Кидби позволил им жить в иллюстрациях, собранных в этой великолепной книге.

Плоский мир родился в воображении его создателя, легендарного Терри Пратчетта, но по ходу сорока с лишним книг зажил собственной жизнью.

Плоский мир плывёт сквозь космос на спинах четырёх слонов, стоящих на исполинской черепахе (слонов когда-то было пять, но об этом как-нибудь в другой раз). Это мир, полный магии, край контрастов и крайностей: от бурлящего Анк-Морпорка, древнейшего мегаполиса на Диске, до древней империи Клатч, где у слова "убийство" пятнадцать синонимов.

В этом артбуке представлено путешествие художника Пола Кидби по Диску - в сочных цветах или строгом монохроме. Это калейдоскоп персонажей, завоевавших сердца миллионов читателей по всему миру, с комментариями самого сэра Терри о том, как они создавались.

Это "Плоский мир: воплощая легенду".

“It's still magic, even if you know how it's done.” –Sir Terry Pratchett

Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is a celebration of Discworld art and a brilliant homage to the decades-long collaboration between artist Paul Kidby and Sir Terry Pratchett that takes readers behind the scenes of one of the great creative partnerships.

It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life—from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces—and how Pratchett and Kidby were influenced by art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld universe. While Pratchett was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Kidby has been the artistic force taking the people, places, and pieces of man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world.

Packed with never-before-seen art and the stories behind it, it is a must-have for Pratchett fans of all ages.
