Omtale fra forlaget
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel. They say that diplomacy is a gentle art. That mastering it is a lifetime's work.
But you do need a certain inclination in that direction. It's not something you can just pick up on the job. A few days ago Sam Vimes was a copper - an important copper, true - chief of police - but still, at his core, a policeman.
But today he is an ambassador - to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Today, Sam Vimes is also a man on the run. He has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask).
It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the forest to civilization there's going to be a terrible war.
There are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast.
They're werewolves - and they're catching up.

Look, sir most of the dwarfs here are ... well, I suppose you'd call them liberal sir. [...] Some of them even acknowledge that ... they've got daughters, sir.

Many of them wouldn't know a pick-axe if you hit them with it*.
*At least, if you hit them hard enough

As castles went this one looked as though it could be taken by a small squad of not very efficient soldiers.Its builder had not been thinking about fortifications. He'd been influenced by fairytales and possibly by some ornaments sorts of cake. It was a castle for looking at. For defence, putting a blanket over your head might be marginally safer

It is in the nature of the universe that the person who always keeps you waiting ten minutes will, on the day you are ten minutes tardy, have been ready ten minutes early and will make a point of not mentioning this.

There was nothing really daft that some foreigner wouldn't do somewhere.
