Shaking Hands With Death (Clothbound Pocket Edition)
A beautiful clothbound pocket edition of Sir Terry Pratchettās 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
āMost men donāt fear death. They fear those things ā the knife, the shipwreck, the illness, the bomb ā which precede, by microseconds if youāre lucky, and many years if youāre not, the moment of death.ā
When Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimerās 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 ā our right to a good life, and a good death too.
