Der Gauner Feucht von Lipwig wird dazu verdonnert, die heruntergekommene Post der Scheibenwelt wieder auf Vordermann zu bringen, denn im alten Postamt von Ankh-Morpork ruht die Arbeit seit vielen Jahren. Feucht ist dabei so erfolgreich, dass er sich den Zorn der Konkurrenz vom Großen Strang der Klacker zuzieht. Ein öffentlicher Wettstreit soll die Entscheidung bringen: „Postkutsche gegen Klacker“ – wer kann eine Nachricht schneller in das zweitausend Meilen entfernte Gennua bringen?

Review of 'Going Postal' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

One of my favourite Discworld books so far! It is funny as usual, but also incredibly deep and touching and smart and weirdly political as well. The golems have become complex characters, pondering freedom and happiness. The swindler must be good to keep up the facade of being good. The postal system faces technology and hackers are involved in its downfall that implies a rescue and rejuvenation of the system itself.
Definitely Terry Pratchett at his very best! Will be returning to this one for sure.
