Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett - The Wizards’ Play

Aug. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Terry Pratchett is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie.

Unseen Academicals is a forthcoming novel in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. The story unbinds about the football game that has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork. It is not football with the old fashioned, grubby pushing and shoving, but the new, fast football with pointy hats for goalposts and balls that go going when you drop them. The story will introduce several new characters, including a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr. Nutt.  

The main theme of the story is about the football match in which wizards of Unseen University have to win without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin who seems to be a poor lady, making good pies and the mysterious Mr. Nutt who is unknown to the wizard team. Even he himself doesn’t know whether he can play football well. This is how the story moves out. Did wizards win the match? If so did they win it without using the magic? And what sort of contribution is been made by the Urchin and Mr. Nutt? These are the queries that arise in the minds of the readers when they are at the middle of the story.
