Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Autor Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchetten Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2019
Există un semn al Armageddon-ului. Conform profeţiilor lui Agnes Nutter, Vrăjitoare (consemnată, din fericire, în 1655 înainte de a-și incendia întregul sat și toți locuitorii săi care se strâseseră pentru a o vedea arzând), lumea va lua sfârșit într-o zi de sâmbătă. Chiar sâmbăta viitoare.
Așa că forțele binelui și al răului se pregătesc, iar cei patru motocicliști ai Apocalipsei ambalează motoarele și pornesc la drum, iar ultimii doi vânători de vrăjitoare se antrenează pentru luptă.
Pentru ca Aziraphale și Crowley să stopeze această Apocalipsă, ei trebuie să îl găsească pe Anticrist și să îl ucidă. Dar totuși cineva a reușit să îl înlocuiască...deci pe cine căutăm?

Descriere scurtă
Season 2 of Good Omens coming soon!
"Good Omens . . . is something like what would have happened if Thomas Pynchon, Tom Robbins and Don DeLillo had collaborated. Lots of literary inventiveness in the plotting and chunks of very good writing and characterization. It’s a wow. It would make one hell of a movie. Or a heavenly one. Take your pick."—Washington Post
According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.
So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture.
And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .
Textul de pe ultima copertă
Oh, and someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.
Put New York Times bestselling authors Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman together . . . and all Hell breaks loose. In a very good way.

Descriere
There is a distinct hint of Armageddon in the air. According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (recorded, thankfully, in 1655, before she blew up her entire village and all its inhabitants, who had gathered to watch her burn), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, the Four Bikers of the Apocalypse are revving up their mighty hogs and hitting the road, and the world's last two remaining witch-finders are getting ready to fight the good fight, armed with awkwardly antiquated instructions and stick pins. Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. . . . Right. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan.
Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon -- each of whom has lived among Earth's mortals for many millennia and has grown rather fond of the lifestyle -- are not particularly looking forward to the coming Rapture. If Crowley and Aziraphale are going to stop it from happening, they've got to find and kill the Antichrist (which is a shame, as he's a really nice kid). There's just one glitch: someone seems to have misplaced him. . . .
First published in 1990, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's brilliantly dark and screamingly funny take on humankind's final judgment is back -- and just in time -- in a new hardcover edition (which includes an introduction by the authors, comments by each about the other, and answers to some still-burning questions about their wildly popular collaborative effort) that the devout and the damned alike will surely cherish until the end of all things.
