anariel_r...Если уж фамилию "Ветинари" русифицировать, то должно получиться не "Витинари", а "Ветеринари". Поскольку мы имеем его кличку "dog-botherer". И вытаскивается "медицинский" контекст, который через "Медичи" (= "медики, врачи") ведет к Маккиавелли.
А вообще - бедный переводчик, которому приходится переводить сериал in progress. И который лишь в середине цикла узнает, что фамилия сержанта Колона на самом деле - Кишка (причем толстая. но опустим детали), а не Двоеточие (оба слова - colon).
ПС. Еще про Ветинари: " In The Colour of MagicRincewind is brought before "the Patrician" but it is not clear whether this Patrician is Vetinari or his predecessor, Mad Lord Snapcase, or possibly even Homicidal Lord Winder, although the description of this Patrician does not seem to tally with that of Vetinari, as the Patrician in question is, for example, described as obese - a trait his two predecessors did possess, but which he lacks.
Pratchett has stated on Usenet that the Patrician in this case is indeed Vetinari, and that he simply lost weight due to the stress of his job. [1] Upon being pressed, he admitted that the only real difference is that he has become a better writer since that time. [2] It is also a reflection of the fact that the Discworld timeline is extremely uncertain."
