Seasons
Moist von Lipwig learns that the Post Office has been superseded by telegraph towers known as "Clacks" which are run by the unscrupulous Reacher Gilt. In an effort to compete, Moist challenges Gilt to a race.
Moist von Lipwig, who after years of undertaking confidence tricks on others finds himself caught by the guards, is sentenced to death under the alias of Arthur Spangler. After a brief spell in prison he is hung by the neck, but not killed. He is brought before Patrician Havelock Vetinari who insists that he either becomes the new Postmaster or be executed.
Description
Moist von Lipwig is a con-man with a particular talent-- he is utterly unremarkable. When his execution is stayed in Terry Pratchett's remarkable Discworld, he must work off his debt to society as the land's head Postman. Things are not always as they seem, and soon Lipwig is delivering mail for his very life!
