Delidolu'nun "aman ne gereği var şimdi" diye kaldırıp attığı iç kapaktan hemen sonra aslında bizi harika bir Goblen karşılıyor. Cohen ve Gümüş Ordu'nun hikayesini gördüğümüz Goblen belli ki Normanların İngiltere fethini anlatan ünlü Bayeux Tapestry''nin bir parodisi. Ama Delidolu artık Harold'a gıcıklığından mı, başka bir nedenden mi bilinmez, bunu kitaptan atmaya karar vermiş

Efsaneye göre Mazda asırlar öncee Discworld'ün bencil tanrılarından ateşi çalmış ve onu dünyanın tüm sakinlerine getirmiş, tanrılar da bu eylemine karşılık Mazda'yı her gün yenilenen bir eziyetle cezalandırmıştır. Diskdünya'nın en büyük kahramanı Barbar Cohen ve arkadaşları Gümüş Ordu da kahramanlık günlerini görkemli ve destansı son bir macera ile bitirmek ve Mazda'nın intikamını almaya karar verir. Cohen'in deyimiyle "Tanrılara ateşlerini geri vermek" için yanlarına 25 kilo Agathea Gök Gürültüsü Kili alan kahramanlar, en silahlı ve en tehlikeli halleriyle Disk'in tam ortasındaki Cori Celesti Dağının, tanrıların evi Dunmanifestin'in yolunu tutarlar. Tam da bu sırada, Disk'in büyü alanının tam ortasında yaşanacak bir patlamanın, dünya üzerinde mutlak bir yok oluşa neden olacağının bilinciyle, Disk uluslarının temsilcileri ve danışmanları, Ataerk'in sarayında hararetle tartışmakta, Cohen ve Gümüş Ordu'yu vaz geçirme görevine çıkacak gönüllüler aramaktadır. Ve "Gönüllü" sözcüğünü duyan Rincewind huzursuzlukla kıpırdanır... Conan and his troupe have been on the Disc for a VERY long time without dying. But age is a matter of perspective as anyone trying to kill them finds out very briefly before their very own meeting with Binky and his master. Onca silahı, anahtarı ve ilaç kutularını falan, keşfedilmemiş zindanlara kim bırakıyor?" derken Vena'ya buradan seslenmek istiyorum; Sadece onlar olsa iyi, anahtarlarla kapıları renklerine göre de kodluyorlar üstelik. Vetinari'nin Leonard ile konuşurken "Eski bir hikaye hatırlıyorum. Kuğuların çektiği bir gemi yapılmış ve..." derken bahsettiği hikaye piskopos Francis Godwin'in 1600lerde yazdığı, kuğuların çektiği bir arabayla aya gidilen The Man In The Moone. İlk uzay seyahati hikayelerinden olduğu için tarihsel bir önemi var. Eleman ay insanlarıyla falan karşılaşıyor sonra, tabii o dönem kilise iyice bir manyak gibi bi'şey olmuş... He says we'll have to land soon,' said Carrot. 'Was there some position we're supposed to get into?'Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. In 1987, he turned to writing full time. It stars the legendary Cohen the Barbarian, a legend in his own lifetime. Cohen can remember when a hero didn’t have to worry about fences and lawyers and civilisation, and when people didn’t tell you off for killing dragons. But he can’t always remember, these days, where he put his teeth… But I never bothered with this one because it was, to my mind, neither fish nor fowl, not a novel, not a graphic novel, not a picture book, but ... and, frankly, I don't really understand why that was the case, because I've read plenty of prose and art (primarily fiction, typically fantasy) books over the years. As best I can recall, I think my thinking was that the characters that animated Pratchett's world-building could run amok in my brain, and I could make anyone and anyplace look (and feels and sound and, yes, smell) pretty much however I wanted in my mind's eye, and I didn't really want to be biased or steered or guided by an artist's rendition. And, frankly, I think that's consistent with my general experience that, for example, I much prefer a superhero saga novelization to a comic book or graphic novel run (with very, very few exceptions).

Thanks to the illustrations, it´s a very short one, even for Pratchettian dimensions, but very easygoing and without the often included deeper criticism, a once pure and innocent fun that creates its humor mostly out of characters and satirizing the original myth, space programs, Schrödingers´cat, and the good old end of the world. Lavishly illustrate by Discworld regular Kidby, Pratchett's latest brings together some of the series' most beloved and unforgettable characters in a tribute to one of comic fantasy's most celebrated worlds." --Library Journal tatsız taraflara geleceğiz ama kendilerine Delidolu/Tudem diyen şer odağı tarafından kitabın nasıl içinden geçildiğine gelmeden önce, yakaladığım referanslar, gözüme takılan bir iki detay ve aldığım notları kısa kısa aktarmak istiyorum:While The Last Hero, A Discworld Fable, is Pratchett’s 27th Discworld book, the real HERO here is his collaborator Paul Kidby who provides a book full of illustrations. Pratchett] managed to perfectly blend a carefully crafted plot, with humour, steampunk gadgets, and of course the librarian. Pratchett really was the comic fantasy master' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ It wonderfully caps Rincewind's series of adventures, neatly and directly tying up his Disc-spanning journey that began in the foundational The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Türkçe versiyonda hem aşırı ucuz kağıttan hem de kötü baskı kalitesinden pek göremiyoruz ama Leonardo'nun beslediği kuşlardan birinin üzerinde DoG-KöPek yazıyor. Bunun nedenini ise the Truth'ta öğrenmiştik. I’m not a very visual person, so illustrations don’t usually do much for me. Despite that, I still enjoyed the pictures in this book. I particularly enjoyed seeing illustrations for the various characters I’ve read about over the past many books. I can’t say too many of them actually looked the way I had pictured them in my mind, but they were still fun to see. The Rincewind illustrations in particular were great. The one on the cover is funny, but not very representative of the others. The other Rincewind illustrations throughout the book all show him with this perpetual frown and a dejected look that made me laugh every time he showed up in a picture.Because of the complexity of Kirbys´amazing art, this was the only special edition, he just couldn´t produce more graphic novel or even comic style Discworld works without reducing the richness of detail, but it would have been amazing. But the potential for artists to create new interpretations of the Discworld, that is predestined to be comically graphically reinterpreted, is immense. Not just the character descriptions and Kurbys´templates are all there, it would also open the option of expanding the universe and telling new stories. There's nothing about this story I didn't love. The dialogues and action sequences were great, and I loved all the mythology references and parallels to our actual history. There's really only enough material here for a story of exactly this length, but despite its brevity it's still got that special brand of Pratchett profoundness that all his best novels do. The Last Hero takes a spoofing yet poignant look at god and hero worship, destiny, the birth of legends, cultural memory, and coming to terms with aging and mortality, but wanting to leave a mark on the world. In the grand scheme of things, it may not be as substantial a volume as some others, but I found it delightful. Discworld ile özdeşleşmiş çizgileriyle tanıdığımız, her kitabın kapağında, Discworld arşivlerinde, compendiumlarda görmeye alıştığımız Paul Kidby'nin her aşamasında Terry Pratchett'la birlikte çizimlerini planladığı ve ince ince işlediği bir Pterry kitabı Son Kahraman. Elbette "yolu Diskten geçen herkes" (Bu arada Kayahan'ın Diskdünya versiyonu kesinlikle Troll olurdu) Kirby ile bir noktada tanışmış, fanlık çizgisini biraz geçenler de Kirby'nin çizgi roman ve diğer resimli kitaplarını mutlaka görmüştür. Ama sonradan resimlenen kitap ve çizgi romana dönüştürülen hikayelerin aksine, daha en başından bir resimli kitap olarak planlanmış "Son Kahraman" ve görsel olarak muazzam bir sonuç çıkmış ortaya. I rate the story a three. It didn't really hold my interest, though to be fair, I am ruled by the Goddess of the Easily Distracted. I found myself rushing through the text to get to more of the gorgeous artwork. But at least they are just bored and not as boring as the real life equivalences in politics, so what lies closer than to replay some classic mythology as a real life RPG, the perfect hobby for silver barbarians with some terrorist attitude to go with a big, Discworld shattering bang. Because of the potentially ultra fatal consequences of their plan to reach immortality, or at least a satisfying end worthy of and close to each barbarians´ wet death dream, Vetinari unleashes Leonard of Quirms´ ingenuity what enables Rincewind, Carrot, and The Librarian to go one a, hopefully for the world, successful hellish road and air trip.
