Description

A beautiful clothbound pocket edition of Sir Terry Pratchett’s essay on why we all deserve a life worth living and a death worth dying for. With a new Afterword by Peter Serafinowicz and an updated Introduction by Rob Wilkins 'Eloquent and essential' Guardian 'A poignant, thought-provoking, sometimes funny, always brilliant read' 5-star reader review ‘Most men don’t fear death. They fear those things – the knife, the shipwreck, the illness, the bomb – which precede, by microseconds if you’re lucky, and many years if you’re not, the moment of death.’ When Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in his fifties he was angry - not with death but with the disease that would take him there, and with the suffering disease can cause when we are not allowed to put an end to it. In this essay, broadcast to millions as the BBC Richard Dimbleby Lecture, he argues for our right to choose – our right to a good life, and a good death too.
