The nomes are tiny little people who, up until now, lived happily beneath the floorboards of Arnold Bros (est 1905) department store. But their tiny, comfortable little world is shattered when they discover that the store is to be demolished and they have to find away of getting to The Outside--a mystical place they never really believed in until a small tribe of Outsiders, Terry Pratchett has the ability to turn very ordinary thing upside down and make them extra-ordinary. Things that were just there and taken for granted suddenly need closer attention.

Pratchett als Name ist ja wohl überall bekannt, von den Nomen hatte ich dagegen noch nicht gehört. Das Buch war für mich in einem Überraschungspaket (und ist wohl auf deutsch sonst nur noch schwer erhältlich), sonst wäre ich nicht darauf gestoßen, denn irgendwie ist Pratchett ja gleich Scheibenwelt und das war's.

I love the characters. They don't have to be human to feel empathy with them. The frustration with other beings of the same race that comes through the nomes thoughts and comments is clearly not species constrained in Pratchett's world. Very well read by Stephen Briggs as well. Difficult that with a book that people either love or loathe and have probably read themselves more than onceDreamWorks Animation (9 September 2012).

Ne čitam izvornike, ali ne treba biti poseban mudrac shvatiti da su prevoditelji Marko Maras (Vozači, Kopači, Letači) i Kristina Kegljen (Vozači) uz cijeli tim urednika i jezičnih savjetnika odradili lavovski dio posla. Naime, veliki dio Bromelijade se temelji na igri riječi, koje je autor zasigurno u originalu smišljao i promišljao, a sad je trebalo istu igru odraditi s hrvatskim izrazima. Moj naklon do poda cijelom timu koji je uspio da se smijem hrvatskoj inačici.

So this time it was Nomes. Nomes in a human world that think Arnold Bros (est. 1905) is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Prices Slashed: the Nomes' name for a bogyman type figure, in fact the store's caretaker who is also the store's boilerman. The main theme in the trilogy is the struggle of challenging society's accepted beliefs in the face of new information. This theme recurs through the books and includes changes in the scientific establishment, political establishment, religious beliefs, accepted history and family values of the nomes.Sometimes when people talk about Terry Pratchett, they go to great lengths to explain that he wasn’t just a funny writer. “It’s not all jokes – he does proper stuff too. Clever stuff.” And they’re right of course, Pratchett was a brilliant, intelligent writer. The Bromeliad Trilogy are children’s books that deal with concepts as wide-ranging as religion, feminism, politics, love, existentialism and the importance of education. Even so, it annoys me when simply being funny isn’t enough. One day, a large group of Outside nomes come into the Store to join their Inside fellows, whom they've never met, by the way. And so the adventure begins: where will they stay? Who will guide and educate them into the world of the Store? Another theme: migration. In this day and age, even more actual than ever, even if the books were written about 30 years ago. As the Store is to close forever, suddenly both nome populations must work together for their survival. Masklin the Nome and his companions flee their unsustainable motorway-verge home and discover an alien race of tiny Humans known as Nomes living in a department store scheduled for demolition. Things are complicated by the store Nomes' religion, which states 'The Store' consists of the entire universe, and denies the existence of the 'outside'. Store nomes have never seen the sun, never felt the rain. The Outside nomes are very much accustomed to the real seasons and weather types. Outside nomes come to The Store with their Thing (a sophisticated computer). The Store nomes have trouble believing in Outside, and believing that these nomes came from beyond the confines of The Store where “Everything Is Under One Roof.” The Thing announces that The Store will be demolished in a matter of days and the nomes must go. Rather reluctantly go, they do, with a couple of emergent leaders: Masklin and Grimma, two Outside nomes, Gurder, the abbot, Dorcas, the engineer, and Angalo, a young nome who likes machines.
