Step into the time-warped cobblestones of Ankh-Morpork as we celebrate the Penguin Modern Classics edition of Night Watch - one of Sir Terry Pratchett’s most powerful and politically charged Discworld novels.
Join us for a special conversation event with the University of South Australia's Vice Chancellor and President, Professor David Lloyd, and renowned science broadcaster Robyn Williams AO DUniv.
This definitive annotated Penguin Modern Classics edition of Night Watch shines new light on the beloved classic. David and Robyn will explore the novel’s rich layers – from revolution and resistance to humour, humanity, and hope. With nods to Victor Hugo and M*A*S*H, Night Watch is a brilliant satire of power and policing, and an enduring story of community and courage.
Don't miss this special event honouring Pratchett’s legacy and his lasting connection with University of South Australia.
