Accros du roc (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #16)

Terry Pratchett

Aux enfants ordinaires on offre des xylophones. Suzanne, elle, n'avait qu'à demander à son grand-père d'ôter son gilet... Oui, elle avait la Mort dans sa famille. Et il est difficile de grandir normalement quand votre aïeul monte un cheval blanc et manie la faux, surtout quand vous devez reprendre l'affaire familiale pour cause de vacance et que tout le monde vous tient pour la « fée des dents ». Bien plus difficile encore quand il s'agit d'affronter la nouvelle musique ? une vraie drogue ? qui a fait irruption dans le Disque-monde. Elle n'obéit à aucune loi. Elle transforme les gens. On l'appelle la « musique de rocs ». Elle est rythmée, dansante, mais... Elle est vivante. Et elle ne s'arrête pas.

A Hat Full of Sky (Discworld, #32; Tiffany Aching, #2)

Terry Pratchett

WE SEE YOU. NOW WE ARE YOU. No real witch would casually step out of their body, leaving it empty. Tiffany Aching does. And there’s something just waiting for a handy body to take over. Something ancient and horrible, which can’t die. To deal with it, Tiffany has to go to the very heart of what makes her a witch . . .

A me le guardie!

Terry Pratchett

Benvenuti ad Ankh_Morpork, la città più grande di Mondo Disco, dove tutto è in vendita, i ladri rubano solo su appuntamento, gli assassini pagano regolarmente le tasse i testi magici della biblioteca dell’Università Invisibile vengono incatenati agli scaffali per impedire loro di scappar via. In un posto così non c’è alcun bisogno di una Guardia Cittadina; e infatti il capitano Vimes passa la maggior parte del suo tempo a ubriacarsi in sordidi locali. Ma all’improvviso, un misterioso criminale trasforma i più-o-meno onesti cittadini di Ankh-Morpork in qualcosa che ricorda i biscotti bruciati e il capitano Vimes è costretto a richiamere l’intrepida Guardia Cittadina e a pattugliare le strade alla ricerca di un possibile colpevole lungo più di venti metri, munito di ali, alito ardente e sconfinato potenziale magico… e soprattutto di chi lo controlla (o vorrebbe farlo).

A Slip of the Keyboard: Collected Nonfiction

Terry Pratchett

A collection of essays and other non fiction from Terry Pratchett, spanning the whole of his writing career from his early years to the present day. Terry Pratchett has earned a place in the hearts of readers the world over with his bestselling Discworld series -- but in recent years he has become equally well-known and respected as an outspoken campaigner for causes including Alzheimer's research and animal rights. A Slip of the Keyboard brings together for the first time the finest examples of Pratchett's non fiction writing, both serious and surreal: from musings on mushrooms to what it means to be a writer (and why banana daiquiris are so important); from memories of Granny Pratchett to speculation about Gandalf's love life, and passionate defences of the causes dear to him. With all the humour and humanity that have made his novels so enduringly popular, this collection brings Pratchett out from behind the scenes of the Discworld to speak for himself -- man and boy, bibliophile and computer geek, champion of hats, orangutans and Dignity in Dying. Snuff was the bestselling adult hardcover novel of 2011. A Blink of the Screen, Terry's short fiction collection, was also one of the bestselling hardcovers of 2012.From the Hardcover edition.

A Stroke of the Pen: The Lost Stories

Terry Pratchett

Far away and long ago, when dragons still existed and the only arcade game was ping-pong in black and white, a wizard cautiously entered a smoky tavern in the evil, ancient, foggy city of Morpork... A truly unmissable, beautifully illustrated collection of unearthed stories from the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett: award-winning and bestselling author, and creator of the phenomenally successful Discworld series. Twenty early short stories by one of the world's best loved authors, each accompanied by exquisite original woodcut illustrations. These are rediscovered tales that Pratchett wrote under a pseudonym for newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. Whilst none are set in the Discworld, they hint towards the world he would go on to create, containing all of his trademark wit, satirical wisdom and fantastic imagination. Meet Og the inventor, the first caveman to cultivate fire, as he discovers the highs and lows of progress; haunt the Ministry of Nuisances with the defiant evicted ghosts of Pilgarlic Towers; visit Blackbury, a small market town with weird weather and an otherworldly visitor; and go on a dangerous quest through time and space with hero Kron, which begins in the ancient city of Morpork...

Au guet ! (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #8)

Terry Pratchett

Une société secrète d'encagoulés complote pour renverser le seigneur Vétérini, Patricien d'Ankh-Morpork, et lui substituer un roi. C'est sans compter avec le guet municipal et son équipe de fins limiers. Une affaire à la mesure du capitaine Vimaire - s'il boit, c'est pour oublier les laideurs de la vie - et de ses brillants adjoints. (« Tous pour un ! » ) Et lorsqu'on retrouve au petit jour dans les rues les corps des citoyens transformés en biscuits calcinés, l'enquête s'oriente résolument vers un dragon de vingt-cinq mètres qui crache le feu ; on aurait quelques questions à lui poser. Mais peut-être la collaboration du bibliothécaire de l'Université ne sera-t-elle pas inutile : n'arbore-t-il pas aussi une plaque de la DST (Défense simienne du territoire) ?

Belas maldições

Terry Pratchett

Um descendente direto de O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias escrito por dois dos maiores autores britânicos de fantasia. O mundo vai acabar no próximo sábado, e ainda por cima antes do jantar. O que é um grande problema para Crowley, o demônio mais acessível do Inferno, residente na Terra, e sua contraparte e velho amigo Aziraphale, anjo genuíno e dono de livraria em Londres. Depois de 4 mil anos vivendo entre os humanos, eles pegaram gosto pelo mundo, e o Armagedom lhes parece um evento bastante inconveniente. Então, para evitar o fim do mundo, precisam encontrar a chave de tudo: o jovem Anticristo, agora um menino de 11 anos vivendo tranquilamente em uma cidadezinha inglesa. Em seu caminho, acabarão trombando com uma jovem ocultista, dona do único livro que prevê precisamente os acontecimentos do fim do mundo, caçadores de bruxas ainda na ativa e, quem sabe, até os Quatro Cavaleiros do Apocalipse. Mas eles precisam ser rápidos. Não é só o tempo que está acabando...

Boja Magije (Disksvet, #1)

Terry Pratchett

Na svetu koji leži na džinovskoj kornjači (nepoznatog pola), vesela, eksplozivna i uvrnuta ekspedicija kreće na put. Tu su: pohlepan, ali nevešt čarobnjak, naivni turista čiji se prtljag kreće na stotinama malih slatkih nožica, zmajevi koji postoje samo ako u njih verujete i naravno, IVICA planete...

Bons averanys: Les justes i acurades profecies d’Agnes Guillada, bruixa

Terry Pratchett

Un dimoni anomenat Crowley i un àngel anomenat Aziraphale estan destinats a viure entre els humans i intentar influenciar en les seves vides, així que al llarg dels anys forgen una mena d’amistat -més per frec que per afecte-. Un bon dia del segle xx els seus superiors encarreguen a Crowley que canviï l’Anticrist, que acaba de néixer, per un altre nadó de la clínica, però les coses no surten com el dimoni tenia planejat. El petit fill de Satanàs creix amb el nom d’Adam en una família normal i corrent, mentre Crowley i Aziraphale estan pendents de Nigromant, el nen que creuen que iniciarà la fi del món. Un bon dia, quan l’infern envia a l’Anticrist un gos malèfic com a mascota i aquest no arriba a casa de Nigromant, l’àngel i el dimoni s’adonen que hi ha hagut un error. I decideixen buscar el veritable Anticrist.

Buenos presagios

Terry Pratchett

Según Las buenas y ajustadas profecías de Agnes la Chalada Bruja (el único libro fiable de profecías, escrito en 1655, antes de que ella explotara), el fin del mundo tendrá lugar el sábado. El próximo sábado, de hecho. Justo después de la hora de la cena. Los ejércitos del Bien y del Mal se están agrupando, la Atlántida está resurgiendo, llueven sapos y los ánimos están algo alterados así que... todo parece ajustarse al Plan Divino. De no ser po un ángel quisquilloso y un demonio buscavidas que han vivido a costa de los mortales desde el comienzo de los tiempos y que no están dispuestos a aceptar tan fácilmente eso del "Fin de la civilización tal y como lo conocemos". Y... ¡vaya por Dios! ¡Parece que alguien ha hecho desaparecer al Anticristo!

Buenos Presagios: las buenas y ajustadas profecías de Agnes La Chalada

Terry Pratchett

The world is going to end next Saturday, just before dinner, but it turns out there are a few problems--the Antichrist has been misplaced, the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse ride motorcycles, and the representatives from heaven and hell decide that they like the human race.

Buona Apocalisse a tutti!

Terry Pratchett

Sulla base delle Profezie di Agnes Nutter, Strega (messe per iscritto nel 1655 prima che Agnes facesse saltare in aria tutto il villaggio riunito per godersi il suo rogo), il mondo finirà di sabato. Sabato prossimo, per essere proprio precisi. È per questo motivo che le temibili armate del Bene e del Male si stanno ammassando, che i Quattro Motociclisti dell'Apocalisse stanno scaldando i loro poderosissimi motori e sono pronti a lanciarsi per strada, e che gli ultimi due scopritori di streghe si preparano a combattere la battaglia finale, armati di istruzioni clamorosamente antiquate e di innocue spillette. Atlantide sta emergendo, piovono rane dal cielo. Gli animi si surriscaldano... Bene bene. Tutto sembra proprio andare secondo il Piano Divino. Non fosse che un angelo un filo pignolo (ma giusto un filo, per carità) e un demone che apprezza la bella vita - ciascuno dei quali ha passato tra i mortali sulla Terra parecchi millenni e si è, come dire?, affezionato a usi e costumi umani - non fanno esattamente salti di gioia davanti alla prospettiva dell'incombente catastrofe cosmica. E allora, se quei due (Crowley e Azraphel) vogliono che quanto profetizzato non si compia, devono mettersi al lavoro subito per scovare e uccidere l'Anticristo (mica una bella cosa, visto che è un ragazzino simpaticissimo). Ma c'è un piccolo problema: sembra proprio che qualcuno lo abbia scambiato con qualcun altro...

By Terry Pratchett Night Watch (Discworld Novels) [Paperback]

Terry Pratchett

Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch had it all. But now he's back in his own rough, tough past without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck... Living in the past is hard. Dying in the past is incredibly easy. But he must survive, because he has a job to do. He must track down a murderer, teach his younger self how to be a good copper, and change the outcome of a bloody rebellion. There's a problem: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future. A Discworld Tale of One City, with a full chorus of street urchins, ladies of negotiable affection, rebels, secret policemen, and other children of the revolution. Truth! Justice! Freedom! And a Hard-boiled Egg!

Carpe Jugulum (Discworld, #23; Witches, #6)

Terry Pratchett

Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be a priest. He thought he'd come to the mountain kingdom of Lancre for a simple little religious ceremony. Now he's caught up in a war between vampires and witches, and he's not sure there is a right side. There're the witches - young Agnes, who is really in two minds about everything; Magrat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and nappies, Nanny Ogg, who is far too knowing,.. and Granny Weatherwax, who is big trouble. And the vampires are intelligent - not easily got rid of with a garlic enema or by going to the window, grasping the curtains and saying, "I don't know about you, but isn't it a bit stuffy in here?" They've got style and fancy waistcoats. They're out of the casket and want a bite of the future. Mightily Oats knows he has a prayer, but he wishes he had an axe.

Colour of Magic (Disc world, #1)

Čudotvorac (Disksvet #5)

Terry Pratchett

Bio jednom osmi sin osmog sina. On je, sasvim prirodno, bio čarobnjak. I tu je trebalo da bude kraj. Međutim (iz razloga u koje bi bilo bolje da se ne upuštamo), imao je sedam sinova. A onda je dobio osmog sina… čarobnjaka na kvadrat… tvorca čuda… Čudotvorca. RINSVIND I PRTLJAG SE VRAĆAJU U TRENUTKU KADA SE DISKSVET SUOČAVA SA SVOJIM NAJVEĆIM – I NAJSMEŠNIJIM – IZAZOVOM DO SADA.

Darwin's Watch (The Science of Discworld, #3)

Terry Pratchett

Roundworld is in trouble again, and this time it looks fatal. Having created it in the first place, the wizards of Unseen University feel vaguely responsible for its safety. They know the creatures who lived there escaped the impending Big Freeze by inventing the space elevator -- they even intervened to rid the planet of a plague of elves, who attempted to divert humanity onto a different time track. But now it's all gone wrong -- Victorian England has stagnated and the pace of progress would embarrass a limping snail. Unless something drastic is done, there won't be time for anyone to invent spaceflight and the human race will be turned into ice-pops. Why, though, did history come adrift? Was it Sir Arthur Nightingale's dismal book about natural selection? Or was it the devastating response by an obscure country vicar called Charles Darwin, whose bestselling Theology of Species made it impossible to refute the divine design of living creatures? Either way, it's no easy task to change history, as the wizards discover to their cost. Can the God of Evolution come to humanity's aid and ensure Darwin writes a very different book? And who stopped him writing it in the first place?

Da diese die Zauberkunst eigentlich nicht ausüben dürfen, muss die Hexe Oma Wetterwachs helfen.

De bons présages

Terry Pratchett

L'Apocalypse aura lieu samedi prochain, après le thé ! Ainsi en ont décidé, d'un commun accord, les forces du Bien et celles du Mal. L'Antéchrist va fêter ses onze ans. Son éducation a été supervisée par un ange, Aziraphale, et un démon, Rampa, résidant sur Terre depuis l'époque de la première pomme. Mais voilà, suite à un coup du sort, l'enfant a été échangé à la maternité. Le véritable Antéchrist se nomme Adam et vit dans la banlieue de Londres. Et ça, ça change tout ! Une course contre la montre commence alors pour l'ange et le démon qui, finalement, se disent que la race humaine ne mérite pas son sort...

Den makalöse Maurice och hans kultiverade gnagare

Terry Pratchett

Föreställ er en miljon klipska råttor. Råttor som inte tar till flykten. Råttor som stannar och slåss Maurice, en slipad stadskatt, tjänar grova pengar på ett bondfångeri i världsklass. Han har hittat en flöjtspelande grabb med dum uppsyn och han har med sig en alldeles egen invasion av råttor - råttor som är så märkvärdigt kultiverade att Maurice inte längre kan betrakta dem som lunch. Och alla känner ju till sagorna om råttor och råttfångare Men när de kommer till den råtthärjade staden Skummenplatz går lurendrejeriet plötsligt åt pipan. Där dansar man efter någon annans pipa, och melodin är mörk och hemlighetsfull. Något mycket, mycket otäckt lurar i källarutrymmena. De kultiverade råttorna blir tvungna att lära sig ett nytt ord - ONDSKA. Nu är det ingen lek längre. Äta eller ätas - det är vad som gäller i de nedre regionerna. Och detta kanske ändå bara är början

Déraillé (Les Annales du Disque-monde #40)

Terry Pratchett

Par-dessus le raffut, Henri Roi brailla : « Comment s’appelle ce machin, tu m’as dit, mon gars ? — Poutrelle-de-Fer, m’sieur, répondit Richard Simnel. Et, si vous nous autorisez à poser des rails, on peut vraiment vous montrer de quoi elle est capable. — Des rails ? — Ouais, m’sieur. Elle roule sur un chemin de fer, vous allez veir. » Henri Roi a du flair et des moyens financiers : le chemin de fer a du potentiel. Alors ? cap sur le progrès teque-nol-ogique ? Pas si sûr. Certains fondementalistes parmi les nains du Schmaltzberg sont prêts à tout pour lui barrer la route, prêts au terrorisme et prêts au coup d’État. Sous la houlette menaçante du seigneur Vétérini, il n’aura pas trop de tout son talent et de sa faconde, le Moite von Lipwig, ex-escroc désormais directeur des Postes et de la Banque royale, pour graisser les rouages du train de l’avenir et déblayer la voie.

De un plumazo: Las historias perdidas

Terry Pratchett

Una antología bellamente ilustrada de cuentos recuperados de la pluma de sir Terry uno de los autores más aclamados, premiados y queridos del mundo. En un país muy lejano, hace mucho tiempo, cuando los dragones todavía existían y el único videojuego era el ping-pong en blanco y negro, un mago entró con cautela en una taberna cargada de humo, en la antigua, maligna y neblinosa ciudad de Morpork... Una colección imprescindible de veinte relatos cortos, escritos bajo pseudónimo para diversos periódicos en los setenta y los ochenta, del premiado y exitoso escritor de la saga Mundodisco.

Conoceremos a Og, el inventor, el primer hombre de las cavernas que cultivó el fuego, mientras descubre los pros y los contras del progreso; atormentaremos los pasillos del Ministerio de Estorbos de la mano de los fantasmas desahuciados de las Torres de Pilajo; visitaremos Blackbury, un pequeño mercado con un extraño clima y un aun más extraño visitante; y acompañaremos al héroe Kron en una peligrosa aventura, que empezará en la antigua ciudad de Morpork, a través del tiempo y del espacio... Sobre el «Un consejo. Id a vuestra librería de confianza, pedid un libro de Terry Pratchett y abríos una nueva puerta que os llevará a un mundo de carcajadas, de ironía, de frases lapidarias, de intrigas y de amores».El País «Brillante, ingenioso e hilarante».Washington Post «Pratchett es un narrador magnífico».Guardian «Las novelas de Mundodisco siempre han estado entre las más serias de las comedias y las más realistas y relevantes de la fantasía».Independent «Lecturas compulsivas, de una inventiva fantástica y que suponen una exploración sorprendentementeseria de prácticamente cualquier aspecto de nuestro mundo...

Die Farben der Magie (Scheibenwelt, #1)

Terry Pratchett

Der Magier Rincewind packt nicht oft etwas an, aber wenn er es tut, dann geht es schief. Während seiner Ausbildung an der Unsichtbaren Universität wirft er verbotenerweise einen Blick in das magische Buch Oktav - und wird prompt von einem Zauberspruch befallen. Dieser ist so mächtig, dass er keine weiteren Sprüche neben sich duldet. Rincewind muss die Universität verlassen und tut sich mit Zweiblum zusammen, dem ersten Touristen auf der Scheibenwelt. Gemeinsam begegnen sie Drachen, Wassertrollen und intelligenten Holztruhen. Und als sie an die Grenze der Scheibenwelt gelangen, ist Rincewind natürlich der erste, der über den Rand fällt... "Die Farben der Magie" ist der Auftakt zu Pratchetts legendärem Scheibenwelt-Zyklus.

Die lange Erde (Die lange Erde, #1)

Terry Pratchett

Ein kleiner angekokelter Plastikkasten, ein paar angelötete Drähte, ein Schalter, eine Kartoffel... Als die Polizistin Monica Jansson im Jahr 2015 in den verkohlten Ruinen eines Hauses auf diese eher zweifelhafte Apparatur stößt, ahnt sie nicht, dass der Prototyp einer bahnbrechenden Erfindung vor ihr steht. Einer Erfindung, die die Geschichte der Menschheit für immer verändern wird. Denn der kleine Kasten ist ein Wechsler, mit dem es von nun an jedem möglich sein wird, mit einem kleinen Schritt in die »Lange Erde« hinauszutreten: eine unendliche Abfolge von parallelen Welten, der unseren mehr oder weniger ähnlich und von Menschen unbewohnt. Schon bald setzt auf der alten Erde ein wilder Goldrausch ein. Denn die Lange Erde birgt unendliche Möglichkeiten – und unendliche Gefahren.

Quiere terminar con una Iglesia poderosa y corrupta, quiere evitar una horrible guerra santa, quiere paz y justicia. Pero por encima de todo, lo que realmente quiere ¡es que su dios elija a Otro!

Dobry omen

Terry Pratchett

Zgodnie z Przenikliwym i Trafnym Proroctwem Agnes Nutter – jedynej całkowicie wiarygodnej wróżki – świat skończy się w sobotę. Dokładnie mówiąc: w najbliższą sobotę. Jeszcze dokładniej: zaraz po kolacji. A wieczorem zerwą się armie Nieba i Piekła. Zapłoną morza ognia. Księżyc okryje się krwawym całunem. I to jest główny problem Crowleya (byłego węża, dziś agenta Piekła) i jego przeciwnika, a zarazem starego przyjaciela Azirafala (autentycznego anioła). Bo oni chcą być tu na dole (lub na górze, z punktu widzenia Crowleya). Nie mają więc wyboru – muszą zatrzymać Czterech Motocyklistów Apokalipsy. Ponad wszystko (zdaniem Azirafala: poniżej) najważniejsze jest, by zabić Antychrysta. Kłopot w tym, że ma on dopiero 11 lat, kocha swego piekielnego ogara i jest miłym chłopcem, z którego rodzice mogą być dumni.

Dodger

Terry Pratchett

A storm. Rain-lashed city streets. A flash of lightning. A scruffy lad sees a girl leap desperately from a horse-drawn carriage in a vain attempt to escape her captors. Can the lad stand by and let her be caught again? Of course not, because he's...Dodger. Seventeen-year-old Dodger may be a street urchin, but he gleans a living from London's sewers, and he knows a jewel when he sees one. He's not about to let anything happen to the unknown girl--not even if her fate impacts some of the most powerful people in England. From Dodger's encounter with the mad barber Sweeney Todd to his meetings with the great writer Charles Dickens and the calculating politician Benjamin Disraeli, history and fantasy intertwine in a breathtaking account of adventure and mystery. Beloved and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett combines high comedy with deep wisdom in this tale of an unexpected coming-of-age and one remarkable boy's rise in a complex and fascinating world.

Ein gutes Omen

Terry Pratchett

Der Antichrist ist geboren, und der finstere Engel Crowley soll ihn erziehen, damit er die Apokalypse heraufbeschwört. Da stellt sich heraus, dass das Kind bei der Geburt vertauscht wurde. Engel, Dämonen und Hexen versuchen den wahren Antichristen aufzuspüren.

Terry Pratchett

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655, before she exploded), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner. So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, frogs are falling, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon—both of whom have lived amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle—are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist . . .

El color de la magia (Mundodisco, #1)

Terry Pratchett

En un mundo plano sostenido por cuatro elefantes impasibles -que se apoyan en la espalda de una tortuga gigante- habitan los estrafalarios personajes de esta novela: un hechicero avaro y torpe, un turista ingenuo cuyo fiero equipaje le sigue a todas partes sostenido por cientos de patitas, dragones que existen si se cree en ellos, gremios de ladrones y asesinos, espadas mágicas, la Muerte y, por supuesto, un extenso catálogo de magos y demonios... En esta serie de novelas se dan cita todos los temas y situaciones del género fantástico, visto a través del personalismo y corrosivo sentido de la comicidad de un autor inglés que se ha convertido en uno de los escritores de humor de mayor éxito y fama en el mundo.

El país del fin del mundo (Discworld, #22)

Terry Pratchett

This is the Discworld's last continent, a completely separate creation.It's hot. It's dry... very dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one now believes in. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right?And it'll die in a few days, except...Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Champion sheep shearer, horse rider, road warrior, beer drinker, bush ranger, and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's sober? A man in a hat, whose Luggage follows him on little legs, who's about to change history by preventing a swagman stealing a jumbuck by a billabong?Yes... all this place has between itself and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, the inept wizard who can't even spell wizard. He's the only hero left.Still... no worries, eh?

Equal Rites (Discworld, #3)

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels, consistent number one bestsellers in England, have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody along with Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen. In Equal Rites, a dying wizard tries to pass on his powers to an eighth son of an eighth son, who is just at that moment being born. The fact that the son is actually a daughter is discovered just a little too late...

Eric (Discworld, #9; Rincewind, #4)

Terry Pratchett

Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. Pity he's not very good at it. All he wants is his three wishes granted. Nothing fancy - to be immortal, rule the world, have the most beautiful woman in the world fall madly in love with him, the usual stuff. But instead of a tractable demon, he calls up Rincewind, probably the most incompetent wizard in the universe, and the extremely intractable and hostile form of travel accessory known as the Luggage. With them on his side, Eric's in for a ride through space and time that is bound to make him wish (quite fervently) again - this time that he's never been born.

Eric: Discworld: The Unseen University Collection

Terry Pratchett

Eric calls up a demon to grant him three wishes - but what he gets is the Discworld's most incompetent wizard...Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. The trouble is, he's not very good at it. All he wants is the usual three wishes: to be immortal, rule the world and have the most beautiful woman fall madly in love with him. The usual stuff.But what he gets is Rincewind, the Disc's most incompetent wizard, and Rincewind's Luggage (the world's most dangerous travel accessory) into the bargain.Terry Pratchett's hilarious take on the Faust legend stars many of the Discworld's most popular characters in an outrageous adventure that will leave Eric wishing once more - this time, quite fervently, that he'd never been born.

Erik (Disksvet, #9)

Terry Pratchett

Erik je jedini haker demonologije na Disksvetu. Nažalost, to mu baš i ne ide od ruke. Sve što želi jeste da mu se ispune tri želje. Ništa posebno – da bude besmrtan, da vlada svetom, da se najlepša žena na svetu do ludila zaljubi u njega – uobičajene stvari. Ali umesto poslušnog demona, pošlo mu je za rukom da prizove Rinsvinda, verovatno najnesposobnijeg čarobnjaka u istoriji, kao i krajnje neposlušni i neprijateljski nastrojeni oblik putničkog pribora poznat pod imenom Prtljag. Sa njima uz sebe, Eriku ne gine putovanje kroz prostor i vreme koje ce ga naterati da ponovo poželi (veoma vatreno) da mu se ispuni jedna želja – ovog puta da se nikada nije ni rodio.

Father Christmas’s Fake Beard

Terry Pratchett

Have you ever wanted Christmas to be different? Turkey and carols, presents and crackers - they all start to feel a bit . . . samey. How about a huge exploding mince pie, a pet abominable snowman, or a very helpful partridge in a pear tree? What if Father Christmas went to work at a zoo, or caused chaos in a toy store, or was even arrested for burglary!? Dive into the fantastically funny world of Terry Pratchett, for a festive treat like no other. These ten stories will have you laughing, gasping and crying (with laughter) - you'll never see Christmas in the same way again.

Feet of Clay (Discworld, #19; City Watch, #3)

Terry Pratchett

There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in Ankh-Morpork, and a dwarf with an attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself. But for Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, that's only the start... There's treason in the air. A crime has happened. He's not only got to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But as soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.

Gevatter Tod (Scheibenwelt #4)

Terry Pratchett

Bevor der Tod in seinen wohlverdienten Urlaub aufbricht, stellt er den jungen Lehrling Mort als Vertreter ein. Mort hat alle Hände voll zu tun: Überall auf der Scheibenwelt ist seine Sense gefragt, und es gehört zum guten Ton, dass Könige, Zauberer und andere wichtige Persönlichkeiten vor deren Ableben persönlich besucht werden. Doch dann trifft Mort auf eine junge Prinzessin, die Opfer eines Attentats werden soll. Mort rettet sie und bringt damit nicht nur Tods Plan, sondern das gesamte Gefüge der Scheibenwelt durcheinander …

Goda omen

Terry Pratchett

Mänskligheten har elva år kvar. Antikrist är född och Himmel och Helvete förbereder sig för den sista striden. Den som ingår i Den stora planen. Apokalypsens fyra MC-åkare (Hells Angels, fast på riktigt) är på väg, liksom menige häxjägaren Pulsifer och häxan (nåja) Anatema Magick, professionell ättling till sierskan Agnes Nutter som visste precis hur allting skulle gå till, fast inte exakt. Nu är det slut! Världen går under! Men vänta! Crowley och Aziraphale, demon respektive ängel, vill ha ett ord med i leken. Efter att ha levt på jorden i sextusen år börjar de känna sig rätt så sympatiskt inställda till mänskligheten. Än är det inte över...

Gode varsler: Heksen Agnes Nutters fine og korrekte profetier

Terry Pratchett

Kultklassiker om hvor galt det kan gå når selveste Antikrist ender opp hos en helt gjennomsnittlig middelklassefamilie. Endelig på norsk! Ifølge heksen Agnes Nutters profetier kommer verden til å gå under på lørdag, rett etter tetid. Uheldigvis er Antikrist på feil sted, Apokalypsens fire ryttere er ute og kjører motorsykkel, og representantene fra himmel og helvete har funnet ut at de faktisk liker menneskerasen. Neil Gaiman ble født i England i 1960, men har de siste årene bodd i USA. Etter at han slo gjennom med tegneserien Sandman, har han skrevet en rekke kritikerroste bøker for barn og voksne, inkludert Neverwhere, Stjernestøv, Amerikanske guder, Kirkegårdsboken og Coraline. Han har en stor tilhengerskare over hele verden og blir av mange regnet som en av de største fornyerne av fantasysjangeren.

Going Postal (Discworld, #33; Moist von Lipwig, #1)

Terry Pratchett

Moist von Lipwig was a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put Ankh-Morpork's ailing postal service back on its feet. It was a tough decision. But he has to see that the mail gets through, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers' Friendly and Benevolent Society, the evil chairman of the Grand Trunk Semaphore Company, and a midnight killer. Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too. Maybe it'll take a criminal to succeed where honest men have failed, or maybe it's a death sentence either way. Or perhaps there's a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope...

Good Omens

Terry Pratchett

A full-cast BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman’s celebrated apocalyptic comic novel, with bonus length episodes and outtakes. According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday in fact. Just after Any Answers on Radio 4…. Events have been set in motion to bring about the End of Days. The armies of Good and Evil are gathering and making their way towards the sleepy English village of Lower Tadfield. The Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse - War, Famine, Pollution and Death - are assembling. Witchfinder Shadwell and his assistant Newton Pulsifier are also en route to Tadfield to investigate unusual phenomena in the area, while Anathema Device, descendent of prophetess Agnes Nutter, tries to decipher her ancestor’s cryptic predictions. Atlantis is rising; fish are falling from the sky; everything seems to be going to the Divine Plan. Everything, that is, but for an unlikely angel and demon duo, who have been living on Earth for several millennia and have become rather fond of the place. If they are to prevent Armageddon they’ve got to find and kill the one who will bring it about: the Antichrist himself. There’s just one small problem: someone seems to have mislaid him… Adapted, sound designed and co-directed by Dirk Maggs (Neverwhere, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) this first ever dramatisation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s novel features a large cast including Peter Serafinowicz, Mark Heap, Josie Lawrence and Paterson Joseph.

O mundo vai acabar em um sábado. No próximo sábado, para falar a verdade. Pouco antes da hora do jantar. Não há nada que possa ser feito para frustrar o Grande Plano divino.

Crowley é um demônio e ex-serpente responsável pela mesma região.

According to the Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter - the world's only totally reliable guide to the future - the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea... People have been predicting the end of the world almost from its very beginning, so it’s only natural to be sceptical when a new date is set for Judgement Day. This time though, the armies of Good and Evil really do appear to be massing. The four Bikers of the Apocalypse are hitting the road. But both the angels and demons – well, one fast-living demon and a somewhat fussy angel – would quite like the Rapture not to happen. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist…

¡Guardias! ¡Guardias! (Mundodisco, #8)

Terry Pratchett

La ciudad de Ankh-Morpork está gobernada por un Patricio, Lord Vetinari, que ha legalizado los asesinatos, los robos, la mendicidad y la prostitución para tenerlos controlados. El Gremio de Asesinos y el de Ladrones reciben una cuota de asesinatos y robos 'razonables', y el sistema funciona con normalidad. Excepto para la Guardia Nocturna, que se ha visto reducida a tres hombres: el capitán Sam Vimes, el sargento Colon y el cabo Nobby Nobbs. La institución está degradada y envilecida. Por otra parte, en las montañas, el rey de una mina de enanos decide enviar a su hijo adoptivo Zanahoria a ingresar en la Guardia para que se haga un hombre. Zanahoria mide dos metros, es simple y muy fuerte, y cree que todos somos capaces de llevarnos bien. Además, se ha estudiado las leyes de la ciudad. Zanahoria es capaz de revitalizar la Guardia, que debe descubrir quién anda detrás de las misteriosas apariciones de un dragón, que tienen como fin la restauración de la monarquía en la ciudad. Para ello contarán con la ayuda inestimable de lady Sybil Ramkin, una aristócrata experta en dragones de pantano.

Guards! Guards!

Terry Pratchett

Welcome to Guards! Guards!, the eighth book in Terry Pratchett’s legendary Discworld series. Long believed extinct, a superb specimen of draco nobilis ("noble dragon" for those who don't understand italics) has appeared in Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, in rather short order it is crowned King (it is a noble dragon, after all...). How did it get there? How is the Unique and Supreme Lodge of the Elucidated Brethren of the Ebon Night involved? Can the Ankh-Morpork City Watch restore order – and the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork to power? Magic, mayhem, and a marauding dragon...who could ask for anything more?

Hogfather (Discworld, #20)

Terry Pratchett

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, Hogswatchnight, when the Hogfather himself dons his red suit and climbs in his sleigh pulled by—of course—eight hogs, to shower gifts across Discworld. But when the fat man goes missing, someone has to sit in. It’s up to Death to take up the reigns—otherwise the sun won’t shine tomorrow . . . or ever again. Who would want to harm Discworld's most beloved icon? Very few things are held sacred in this twisted, corrupt, heartless—and oddly familiar—universe, but the Hogfather is one of them. Yet here it is, Hogswatchnight, that most joyous and acquisitive of times, and the jolly, old, red-suited gift-giver has vanished without a trace. And there's something shady going on involving an uncommonly psychotic member of the Assassins' Guild and certain representatives of Ankh-Morpork's rather extensive criminal element. Suddenly Discworld's entire myth system is unraveling at an alarming rate. Drastic measures must be taken, which is why Death himself is taking up the reins of the fat man's vacated sleigh . . . which, in turn, has Death's level-headed granddaughter, Susan, racing to unravel the nasty, humbuggian mess before the holiday season goes straight to hell and takes everyone along with it.

Hombres de armas (Discworld, #15)

Terry Pratchett

Hay un asesino suelto en las calles, con un arma nueva y mortífera y, lo más peligroso, un PLAN para devolver a la ciudad de Ankh-Morpork su grandeza perdida... Además, tienen que desenmascararlo antes del mediodía, cuando el capitán Vimes devuelva su placa y se case con la mujer más rica de la ciudad. Comparado con lo que les viene encima, acabar con aquel dragón que atacó la ciudad hace un tiempo resultó fácil, ¡hasta enfrentarse a un ejército de enanos sería más fácil! Y si la tarea es complicada para un cuerpo de vigilancia normal, para la Guardia Nocturna puede convertirse, literalmente, en un auténtico «rompecocos»...

Hyviä enteitä: Noita Agnes Nutterin hienot ja oikeat ennustukset

Terry Pratchett

Noita Agnes Nutter kirjoittaa Hienoissa ja Oikeissa Ennustuksissaan, että maailmanloppu koittaa eräänä lauantaipäivänä. Demoni Crowleylla ja hänen vanhalla ystävällään - ups, vihamiehellään siis - enkeli Aziraphalella on miettimistä. Miten estää maailmanloppu, kun maan päällä oikeastaan on niin mukavaa? Ei auta. On estettävä Helvetin enkelten eteneminen, on pysäytettävä noidanetsijäin armeija (kaikki kaksi soturia), ja, huhhuh, nitistettävä itse antikristus. Mikä häpeä. Antikristus nimittäin on mitä miellyttävin yksitoistavuotias nuorimies... Hyviä enteitä on ratkiriemukas maailmanlopun visio. Kuulostaako ristiriitaiselta? Sarjakuvakäsikirjoittajina tunnetut Terry Pratchett ja Neil Gaiman irvailevat maailman menoa häpeämättömästi ja kutkuttavan osuvasti. Tosikot älkööt vaivautuko.

Interesting Times (Discworld, #17; Rincewind, #5)

Terry Pratchett

Mighty battles! Revolution! Death! War! (and his sons Terror and Panic, and daughter Clancy) The oldest and most inscrutable empire on the Discworld is in turmoil, brought about by the revolutionary treatise "What I did on My Holidays." Workers are uniting, with nothing to lose but their water buffaloes. War (and Clancy) are spreading throughout the ancient cities. And all that stands in the way of terrible doom for everyone is: Rincewind the Wizard, who can't even spell the word "wizard"... Cohen the barbarian hero, five foot tall in his surgical sandals, who has had a lifetime's experience of not dying... ...and a very special butterfly.

I Shall Wear Midnight (Discworld, #38; Tiffany Aching, #4)

Terry Pratchett

It starts with whispers. Then someone picks up a stone. Finally, the fires begin. When people turn on witches, the innocents suffer. . . Tiffany Aching has spent years studying with senior witches, and now she is on her own. As the witch of the Chalk, she performs the bits of witchcraft that aren't sparkly, aren't fun, don't involve any kind of wand, and that people seldom ever hear about: She does the unglamorous work of caring for the needy. But someone or something is igniting fear, inculcating dark thoughts and angry murmurs against witches. Aided by her tiny blue allies, the Wee Free Men, Tiffany must find the source of this unrest and defeat the evil at its root before it takes her life. Because if Tiffany falls, the whole Chalk falls with her. Chilling drama combines with laugh-out-loud humor and searing insight as beloved and bestselling author Terry Pratchett tells the high-stakes story of a young witch who stands in the gap between good and evil.

Jednakost rituala (Disksvet #3)

Terry Pratchett

Poslednja stvar koju je čarobnjak Dram Bilet uradio, pre nego što je Smrt položila svoju koščatu ruku na njegovo rame, bila je da preda svoju palicu moći osmom sinu osmog sina. Na nesreću njegovih kolega u šovinističkom (da ne kažemo ženomrzačkom) svetu magije, zaboravio je da proveri pol novorođenog deteta...

Je m'Habillerai de Nuit (Les Annales du Disque-Monde #38)

Rude existence que celle d’une sorcière de seize ans dans le Causse. Outre le quotidien d’une infirmière doublée d’une assistante sociale, il faut aussi gérer les crises qui fermentent et la mort prochaine du vieux baron. Guère de magie là-dedans, guère de sommeil non plus. Alors, si quelque part une pelote inextricable de malveillance et de frustration s’est réveillée pour inciter à la haine des sorcières et à leur destruction, voilà Tiphaine Patraque soudain démunie… «J’ai la trouye pou la ch’tite michante sorcieure jaeyante.» Il reste les Nac Mac Feegle, me direz-vous, toujours prêts à la bataille. Mais si eux-mêmes se mettent à douter…

Jingo (Discworld, #21; City Watch, #4)

Terry Pratchett

A weathercock has risen from the sea of Discworld, and suddenly you can tell which way the wind is blowing. A new land has surfaced, and so have old feuds. And as two armies march, Commander Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch has got just a few hours to deal with a crime so big that there's no law against it. It's called "war." He's facing unpleasant foes who are out to get him... that's just the people on his side. The enemy might even be worse. And his pocket Dis-organiser says he's got to DIE under "Things To Do Today." But he'd better not, because the world's cleverest inventor and its most devious politician are on their way to the battlefield with a little package that's guaranteed to stop a battle... Discworld goes to war, with armies of sardines, warriors, fishermen, squid, and at least one very camp follower.

Johnny and the Bomb (Johnny Maxwell, #3)

This has never been more true than when he finds himself in his hometown on May 21, 1941, over forty years before his birth! An accidental time traveler, Johnny knows his history. He knows England is at war, and he knows that on this day German bombs will fall on the town. It happened. It's history. And as Johnny and his friends quickly discover, tampering with history can have unpredictable--and drastic--effects on the future. But letting history take its course means letting people die.

Judgement Day (The Science of Discworld, #4)

Terry Pratchett

The wizards of Unseen University are again called upon to defend their creation, Roundworld, this time in a courtroom—where its very existence hangs in the balance. The Omnians fervently believe that the world is round, not flat, and view the discovery of Roundworld as a vindication of their faith. To leave this artifact in the hands of the wizards would be unacceptable. Not only do the academics hold that Discworld is flat, but by creating the Roundworld universe, they have elevated themselves to the level of gods. Ankh-Morpork’s venerable tyrant Lord Vetinari agrees to a tribunal, where the wizards Ridcully, Rincewind, and Ponder Stibbons can present their case—with key assistance from a Roundworld librarian named Marjorie Daw. JUDGMENT DAY weaves together explorations of such Earthly topics as big science, creation, subatomic particles, the existence of dark matter, and the psychology of belief--a treat for Discworld fans and readers of popular science alike.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Sada je na Masklinu, jednom od poslednjih nouma koji su došli u Radnju, da osmisli neverovatan plan za bekstvo, koji će sve noume izvesti u veliko Napolju i opasnosti koje tamo vrebaju...

Kıyamet Gösterisi

Terry Pratchett

1655 yılında yazılmış ve şimdiye kadarki en doğru kehanet kitabı olan Cadı Agnes Çatlak'ın Dakîk ve Kat'î Kehanetleri'ne göre, cumartesi günü dünyanın sonu. Önümüzdeki Cumartesi. Akşam yemeğinden hemen önce. İyilik ve Kötülük orduları toplanıyorlar. Her şey Büyük Plan'a uygun ilerliyor gibi. Yalnız ufak bir pürüz var. Birazcık müşkülpesent bir melek ile sefahat düşkünü bir iblis yaklaşan bu coşku dolu anın gelişini hiç de iple çekmiyorlar. Ha unutmadan, birileri Deccal'ı yanlış yere göndermişe benziyor.

Kosač (Disksvet #11)

Terry Pratchett

Smrt je neočekivano nestao! Ovo dovodi do haosa koji se uvek javlja kada otkaže značajna javna služba. Duhovi i utvare ispunjavaju Disksvet. Aktivista u borbi za prava mrtvih Reg Šu (“Ne morate ovo da trpite ležeći”) odjednom ima više posla nego što je mogao i da sanja. A novopreminuli čarobnjak Vindl Puns budi se u kovčegu da bi shvatio da je vaskrsao u vidu leša. Ali, na Vindlu i na članovima ankmorporčke neustrašive grupe neupokojenih* je da spasu svet za žive. U međuvremenu, na maloj, udaljenoj farmi ispostavlja se da je mračni neznanac veoma dobar u radu kosom. Žetva je na pomolu. I sasvim drugačija bitka koja se mora dobiti. *Artur Vinkings je, na primer, postao vampir nakon što ga je ugrizao advokat. Šlepel, bauk, bio bi bolji u svom poslu da nije agorafobičan i da nema strah od izlaska iz ormana. A gospodin Iksolit je drekavac s govornom manom, pa tako umesto da stoji na krovu i da zavija kada je smrt u kući, on ispisuje “UuuIiiUuuIiiUuu” na ceduljici koju potom ubacuje ispod vrata.

Kosiarz (Świat Dysku, #11)

Terry Pratchett

Śmierć zaginął, zapewne już... gdzieś odszedł. A to prowadzi do chaosu, jaki pojawia się zawsze, kiedy ulega załamaniu ważny społecznie sektor usług. Pan Reg Shoe, aktywista Martwych Praw – „Połączmy swe siły, bo inaczej leżymy„ – nagle ma więcej pracy, niż mógłby sobie wymarzyć. A niedawno zmarły mag Windle Poons budzi się w trumnie i odkrywa, że powrócił na świat jako zwłoki. Ale to właśnie Windle i członkowie niezbyt przerażającej grupy nieumarłych z Ankh-Morpork muszą uratować świat dla żyjących. Tymczasem daleko od miasta, na małej farmie, pewien mroczny przybysz okazuje się znakomitym kosiarzem. Plon czeka na żniwa... A poza tym czeka go całkiem inna walka. Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) jako autor opowiadań zadebiutował w wieku 13 lat, w 1971 r. wydana została jego pierwsza powieść „Dywan”, a potem kolejne: „Ciemna strona słońca” (1976) i „Strata” (1981). W 1983 r. ukazała się pierwsza część cyklu Świat Dysku – „Kolor magii”. W 1998 r. Pratchett został uhonorowany przez królową Elżbietę II Orderem Imperium Brytyjskiego za zasługi dla literatury.

La corona del pastor (Mundodisco 41)

Terry Pratchett

Algo se está despertando en las profundidades de la caliza. Los búhos y los zorros lo presienten y Tiffany Dolorido lo nota en sus botas. Un viejo enemigo está reuniendo fuerzas. Es tiempo de finales y principios, de viejos y nuevos amigos, de romper los límites y cambiar de manos el poder. Ahora, Tiffany se encuentra entre la luz y las sombras, entre el bien y el mal. Mientras la horda de hadas se prepara para la invasión, Tiffany debe convocar a todas las brujas para que se unan a ella. Para proteger la tierra. Su tierra. Es la hora de la verdad.

La corona di ghiaccio (Mondo Disco #35)

Terry Pratchett

Tiffany a tredici anni si trova davanti alla sfida più difficile sul suo cammino di apprendista strega: un corteggiamento spietato. Il guaio è che lo spasimante è l'Inverno in persona, e per dimostrare il suo amore non trova di meglio che regalarle rose di ghiaccio e scrivere il suo nome con la brina sui vetri. Tiffany passa dal lusingato imbarazzo alla seria preoccupazione quando lui seppellisce il mondo sotto fiocchi di neve che hanno la forma del suo volto. Se non riesce a farlo ragionare, la Primavera potrebbe non tornare mai più! Avrà bisogno di tutte le sue arti, dei consigli della divinità-delle-cose-che-fanno-incastrare-i-cassetti, dell'aiuto delle colleghe più anziane e, che lo voglia o no, anche del rissoso contributo dei Piccoli Uomini Liberi, spiritelli artisti del furto e della lotta Libera (nel senso che si sentono liberi di lottare con qualsiasi cosa gli capiti a tiro).

La Couronne du Berger (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #41)

Terry Pratchett

Un trouble malaise s'est emparé du Causse. Les chouettes et les renards le perçoivent, et Tiphaine Patraque aussi à travers ses chaussures. Un vieil ennemi rassemble ses forces. Or, comme le dit la kelda des Nac mac Feegle, "le vwale est fragile entre les mondes et se daekire facilmaet". C'est un temps de déclins et de recommencements, d'anciens et de nouveaux amis, et de frontières incertaines. Un temps où le fardeau de la succession s'abat sur une jeune sorcière désormais appelée à se tenir entre la lumière et les ténèbres. La horde des fées prépare son invasion, et Tiphaine devra battre le rappel de toutes les sorcières pour protéger le pays. Son pays. Ca sent le règlement de comptes...

La Huitième Couleur (Discworld, #1; Rincewind #1)

Terry Pratchett

Dans une dimension lointaine et passablement farfelue, un monde se balade à doss de quatre éléphants, eux-mêmes juchés sur la carapce de la Grande Tortue. Oui, c'est le Disque-monde. Les habitants de la cité d'Ankh-Morpork croyaient avoir tout vu. Et Deuxfleurs avait l'air tellement inoffensif, bonhomme chétif, fidèlement escorté par un Bagage de bois magique déambulant sur une myriade de petites jambes. Tellement inoffensif que le Praticien avait chargé le calamiteux mage Rincevent de sa sécurité dans la cité quadrillée par la Guilde des Voleurs et celle des Assassins ; mission périlleuse qui devait les conduire loin : dans une caverne de dragons ; peut-être jusqu'au Bord du Disque. Car Deuxfleurs était d'une espèce plus redoutable qu'on ne l'imaginait : c'était un touriste… À la lumière de l'octarine, la huitième couleur, découvrez l'univers fantastique et cocasse de Terry Pratchett.

La Huitième Couleur (Les Annales du Disque-monde, #1)

Terry Pratchett

Dans une dimension lointaine et passablement farfelue, un monde en forme de disque est juché sur le dos d'une tortue. À Ankh-Morpork, l'une des villes de ce Disque-Monde, les habitants croyaient avoir tout vu. Et Deuxfleurs avait l'air tellement inoffensif, bonhomme chétif fidèlement escorté par un Bagage de bois magique circulant sur une myriade de petites jambes. Tellement inoffensif que le Praticien avait chargé le calamiteux sorcier Rincevent de sa sécurité dans la cité quadrillée par la guilde des voleurs et celle des assassins ; mission périlleuse et qui va les conduire loin : dans une caverne de dragons et peut-être jusqu'aux rebords du Disque. Car Deuxfleurs appartenait à l'espèce la plus redoutable qui soit : c'était un touriste...

La Huitième Fille (Les Annales du Disque-monde, #3)

Terry Pratchett

Sentant venir sa mort prochaine, le mage Tambour Billette organise la transmission de ses pouvoirs, de son bourdon, de son fonds de commerce. Nous sommes sur le Disque-Monde. La succession s'y effectue de huitième fils en huitième fils. Logique. Ainsi opère le mage. Puis il meurt. Or, il apparaît que le huitième fils est cette fois... une fille. Stupeur, désarroi, confusion : jamais on n'a vu pareille incongruité. Trop tard, la transmission s'est accomplie au profit de la petite Eskarin.

La luz fantástica (Mundodisco, #2)

Terry Pratchett

Un nuevo día, sereno y apacible, empieza en Mundo Disco. Como es habitual, la gran tortuga navega por el éter entregada a reflexiones inescrutables, sosteniendo en su caparazón a los cuatro elefantes sobre los que descansa el mundo. Sin embargo, se avecina una inexorable colisión con una malévola estrella roja, y sólo una persona puede poner remedio al inminente desastre: Rincewind, el inepto y cobarde hechicero. Por desgracia, Rincewind fue visto por última vez cuando caía por el borde del mundo... Esta serie de novelas está considerada la más divertida y heterodoxa saga fantástica jamás escrita. Como ha señalado la crítica, las novelas de Terry Pratchett deberían ser lectura obligada para aquellos que se toman la vida demasiado en serio.

L'arte della magia (Mondo Disco #3 - Streghe #1)

Terry Pratchett

Sul bizzarro Mondo Disco, regolato dalle leggi della magia e della fantasia, non sono finite le avventure... Ora è il turno della piccola Esk, ottava figlia di un ottavo figlio, e quindi destinata a diventare mago se non fosse che, essendo femmina, potrebbe al massimo diventare strega. Ma Esk è decisa: vuole diventare mago e, rincorsa dall'apprensiva nonnina, parte alla volta della leggendaria Università Invisibile dei Maghi dove è sicura che le sarà insegnata l'arte della magia.

Le Faucheur (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #11)

Terry Pratchett

Mort ? Déprimé ? Envie de repartir à zéro ? Alors pourquoi ne pas venir au CLUB DU NOUVEAU DÉPART ? Tous les mardis, minuit, 668, rue de l'Orme. OUVERT À TOUS TENUE DE SUAIRE NON EXIGÉE Du pain sur ses quatre planches pour le défunt Raymond Soulier, activiste résolu : fantômes, vampires, zombis, banshees, croque-mitaines... les morts-vivants se multiplient. Car une catastrophe frappe le Disque-monde : la Mort est porté disparu (oui, la Mort est mâle, un mâle nécessaire). Il s'ensuit un chaos général tel qu'en provoque toujours la déficience d'un service public essentiel. Tandis que, dans les champs d'une ferme lointaine, un étrange et squelettique ouvrier agricole manie la faux avec une rare dextérité. La moisson n'attend pas...

Le Guet des Orfèvres (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #15)

Terry Pratchett

« Engagez-vous dans un métier d'homme ! Le Guet municipal a besoin d'hommes ! » Mais le Guet de nuit se retrouve à la tête d'une force comprenant le caporal Carotte (techniquement un nain), l'agent Bourrico (réellement un nain), l'agent Détritus (un troll), l'agent Angua (une femme… la plupart du temps) et le caporal Chicque (mis au ban de touche de l'humanité pour tacles dangereux). Or le mal est à pied d'œuvre, il y a du meurtre dans l'air et du vilain dans les rues. Et il vaudrait mieux que l'affaire se règle avant midi, heure à laquelle le capitaine Vimaire prend officiellement sa retraite, rend sa plaque et se marie. Comme il s'agit d'Ankh-Morpork, à midi pétant, ça promet de sentir drôlement mauvais.

Le huitième sortilège (Les annales du Disque-Monde, #2)

Terry Pratchett

« Vous auriez de très jolis pieds si vous en preniez soin, dit la vierge Bethan. — Ch’est bien aimable à toi, répondit Cohen le Barbare. Mais des pédicures j’en rencontre pas chouvent dans ma profechion. » Octogénaire, borgne, chauve, édenté, Cohen, le plus grand héros de tous les temps réussira-t-il à tirer Deuxfleurs et Rincevent des griffes de leurs poursuivants ? Car une étoile rouge menace de percuter le Disque-monde, dont la survie repose sur le sorcier calamiteux : dans son esprit brumeux se tapit le Huitième Sortilège... Avec une distribution prestigieuse dans les seconds rôles : le Bagage, l’In-Octavo, Herrena la Harpie, Kwartz le troll, Trymon l’enchanteur maléfique et, naturellement LA Mort. Une aventure fantastique sans précédent. Ou peut-être une gigantesque fumisterie, plus encore que La Huitième Couleur.

Les Ch'tits hommes libres (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #30)

Terry Pratchett

Ce pays, on l'appelle le Causse : une succession de collines vertes peuplées de moutons. C'est là que vit Tiphaine Patraque, neuf ans, fille d'une longue lignée de bergers. Elle a décidé qu'elle deviendrait sorcière. Les épreuves ne lui manqueront pas : un monstre dans la rivière, un cavalier sans tête sur le chemin du village... et la disparition de son petit frère. Armée d'une poêle à frire, du livre de magie de sa mémé (Les Maladies du mouton) et d'une détermination farouche, elle part affronter la reine des fées. Seule ? Non. Miyards ! Avec le concours des Nac mac Feegle, les ch'tits hommes libres à la peau bleu, voleurs, bagarreurs, ivrognes et belliqueux. Ni rwa ! Ni rinne ! Ni djeus ! Ni maets ! Fini de s'faire avwar !

L'Hiverrier (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #35)

Terry Pratchett

L'esprit de l'hiver s'est épris de Tiphaine Patraque. Il lui offre des icebergs, se déclare par des avalanches et la couvre de flocons – témoignages d'amour un peu rudes pour une apprentie sorcière de treize ans, mais qui ne manquent pas de... fraîcheur. « Miyards ! » Ah! oui, et revoici les Nac mac Feegle, les ch'tits hommes libres, venus donner un coup de main, que ça lui plaise ou non. Car si Tiphaine ne fait pas entendre raison à son soupirant, il n'y aura plus jamais de printemps.

L'intrepida Tiffany e i Piccoli Uomini Liberi

Terry Pratchett

Tempi duri alla fattoria Aching! Un mostro nel fiume, un cavaliere senza testa sul sentiero e un'ondata di uncubi che calano minacciosidalle colline. Come se non bastasse, il fratellino di Tiffany Aching è stato rapito dalla Regina delle Fate (anche se Tiffany non giurerebbe che questo sia un male). Armata solo di una padella e del libro magico di sua nonna (che per la verità si intitola "Patologie ovine"), Tiffany, giovane aspirante strega, andrà a riprendersi il fratello e...

Lords and Ladies (Discworld, #14; Witches, #4)

Terry Pratchett

The fairies are back - but this time they don't just want your teeth... Granny Weatherwax and her tiny coven are up against real elves. It's Midsummer Night. No time for dreaming... With full supporting cast of dwarfs, wizards, trolls, Morris dancers and one orang-utan. And lots of hey-nonny-nonny and blood all over the place.

Lords und Ladies/Helle Barden

Terry Pratchett

Lords und Ladies Im Königreich Lancre auf der Scheibenwelt wohnen die Hexen Oma Wetterwachs, Nanny Ogg und Magrat Knobloch. Ausgerechnet Magrat steht kurz vor ihrer Vermählung mit dem König von Lancre. Aber als ein paar Nachwuchs-Hexen und bissige Elfen auftauchen, wird der Mittsommernachtstraum verhexter als je zuvor... Helle Barden In Ankh-Morpork, der größten Stadt der Scheibenwelt, wird der Assassinengilde das Gfähr gestohlen, eine Waffe mit noch unbekannter Wirkung. Ausgerechnet die Stadtwache, berüchtigt für ihren Hang zum Chaos, soll eine Reihe Morde aufklären, die mit dem Gfähr begangen wurden...

Magins Färg (Skivvärlden, #1)

Terry Pratchett

RAMLA INTE AV KANTEN! Skivvärlden består, som namnet antyder, av en skiva som bärs fram genom universum på en jättesköldpaddas rygg (av okänt kön). I dess störta stad, Ankh, bor den misslyckade, fege och snikne trollkarlen Rensvind (som lämnade magikeruniversitetet med en enda trollformel i bagaget). Han tvingas ta hand om en Tvåblomster, en naiv främling som strör guld omkring sig i en stad där de flesta skulle strypa sin mor för arvets skull, men lyckas inte bättre än att hela staden sätts i brand.

Making Money (Discworld, #36; Moist Von Lipwig, #2)

Terry Pratchett

It's an offer you can't refuse. Who would not to wish to be the man in charge of Ankh-Morpork's Royal Mint and the bank next door? It's a job for life. But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, the life is not necessarily for long. The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire. There's something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless), it turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss. A 300 year old wizard is after his girlfriend, he's about to be exposed as a fraud, but the Assassins Guild might get him first. In fact lot of people want him dead Oh. And every day he has to take the Chairman for walkies. Everywhere he looks he's making enemies. What he should be doing is . . . Making Money!

Maskerade (Discworld, #18; Witches, #5)

Terry Pratchett

The Opera House, Ankh-Morpork... ... a huge, rambling building, where masked figures and hooded shadows do wicked deeds in the wings... ... where dying the death on stage is a little bit more than just a metaphor... ... where innocent young sopranos are lured to their destiny by an evil mastermind in a hideously deformed evening dress.. Where... ... there's a couple of old ladies in pointy hats eating peanuts in the gods and looking up at the big chandelier and saying things like: "There's an accident waiting to happen if I ever saw one." Yes... Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, the Discworld's greatest witches, are back for an innocent night out at the opera. So there's going to be trouble (but nevertheless a good evening's entertainment with murders you can really hum...)

Maurice, der Kater

Terry Pratchett

Studenten und Gelehrte der Unsichtbaren Universität sollten etwas vorsichtiger mit ihren Abfällen umgehen. Denn natürlich landet ein Großteil nicht auf den städtischen Müllhalden, sondern in den Mägen diverser hungriger Tiere. Und gelegentlich hat das sonderbarste Auswirkungen: Die Biester entwickeln ein Bewusstsein ihrer selbst und können sprechen! So geschehen bei dem Kater Maurice und seinen klugen Freunden, den Ratten. Und weil Maurice ein kluger Kater ist, beschließt er, sich seinen Lebensunterhalt künftig etwas stressfreier zu verdienen. Er schickt seine willfährigen Kumpel in ein Dorf und stellt sich den Bewohnern kurz darauf als freundlicher Helfer in der Not vor, der ihre Häuser von der Rattenplage befreien könne -- für einen Preis. Allerdings haben die kleinen Nager bald keine Lust mehr, immer nur dem großen bösen Kater zu gehorchen. Fast könnte man meinen, bei ihnen rege sich so etwas wie ein schlechtes Gewissen. Zur Katastrophe kommt es schließlich, als sie an ein Dorf geraten, in dem es vor Rattenfängern nur so wimmelt, obwohl weit und breit keine Ratte zu sehen ist. Maurice, der Kater wird im englischsprachigen Raum als Jugendbuch vermarktet -- eine unnötige Einschränkung, der sich der deutsche Verlag nicht angeschlossen hat. Zwar ist der Roman etwas weniger vielschichtig als manch anderes Abenteuer aus der Scheibenwelt, aber wie meist bei Pratchett haben die wilden Späße einen tieferen Sinn. Und wem es gelingt, aus einer Bande neunmalkluger Ratten sympathische Protagonisten zu machen, hat seine Millionen Leser mehr als verdient! --Felix Darwin

Mécomptes de fées (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #12)

Terry Pratchett

Une mission de tout repos pour trois sorcières de haut vol (Air Balai) : empêcher les épousailles d'une servante et d'un prince. Pas de quoi impressionner Mémé Ciredutemps, Nounou Ogg et Magrat Goussedail. Oui, mais : 1 — Ca se passe à l'étranger (beurk !), dans la cité lointaine de Genua. 2 — Que faire d'une baguette magique de seconde main qui ne sait que transformer les choses en citrouilles ? 3 — Comment s'opposer au pouvoir irrésistible des contes s'ils sont manipulés par la redoutable « bonne fée » Lilith ? N'est-ce pas le merveilleux destin d'une servante que d'épouser le prince ? Comme celui des mères-grands de se faire dévorer par le loup ? Tel n'est pourtant pas l'avis de Madame Gogol, la sorcière vaudou des marais de Genua. « Enco an piti zassiette di gombo, ma chè ? »

Men at Arms (Discworld, #15; City Watch, #2)

Terry Pratchett

"Be a MAN in the City Watch! The City Watch needs MEN!" But what it's got includes Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf), Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance constable Detritus (a troll), Lance constable Angua (a woman... most of the time), and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving). And they need all the help they can get. Because they've only got twenty-four hours to clean up the town and this is Ankh-Morpork we're talking about...

Monstrous Regiment (Discworld, #31; Industrial Revolution, #3)

Terry Pratchett

Polly Perks joins the Discworld army to find her brother Paul. "Ozzer" cuts off her blonde braids, dons male garb, belches, scratches, and masters macho habits - aided by well-placed pair of socks. The legendary and seemingly ageless Sergeant Jackrum accepts her plus a vampire, troll, zombie, religious fanatic, and two close "friends". The best man for the job may be a woman.

Mort (Discworld, #4; Death, #1)

Terry Pratchett

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job. Death is the Grim Reaper of the Discworld, a black-robed skeleton with a scythe who ushers souls into the next world. He is also fond of cats and endlessly baffled by humanity. Soon Death is yearning to experience what humanity really has to offer, but to do that, he'll need to hire some help. It's an offer Mort can't refuse. As Death's apprentice he'll have free board, use of the company horse—and being dead isn't compulsory. It's a dream job—until Mort falls in love with Death's daughter, Ysabell, and discovers that your boss can be a killer on your love life…

Mortimer (Les Annales du Disque-monde, #4)

Terry Pratchett

Mortimer court à travers champs, agitant les bras et criant comme une truie qu'on égorge. Et non. Même les oiseaux n'y croient pas, "Il a du cœur", fait son père adossé contre un muret, "Dame, c'est le reste qui lui manque", répond l'oncle Hamesh. Mais à la foire à l'embauche, la Mort le remarque et l'emporte sur son cheval Bigadin. Il faut la comprendre : elle a décidé de faire la vie; avec un bon commis, elle pourrait partager le travail quotidien, ce qui lui laisserait des loisirs. Un grand destin attend donc Mortimer. Mais... est-ce bien raisonnable ? Un scénario qui décoiffe, une distribution Prestigieuse et... Peut-être... une apparition exceptionnelle de l'illustre Rincevent.

Mort: Introduction by Neil Gaiman

Terry Pratchett

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.Henceforth, Death is no longer going to be the end, merely the means to an end. It’s an offer Mort can't refuse. As Death's apprentice he'll have free board, use of the company horse - and being dead isn't compulsory. It's a dream job - until he discovers that it can be a killer on his love life...

Moving Pictures (Discworld, #10; Industrial Revolution, #1)

Terry Pratchett

Cameras roll - which means the imps inside have to paint really fast - on the fantastic Discworld when the alchemists discover the magic of the silver screen. But what is the dark secret of Holy Wood Hill? As the alien clichés of Tinsel Town pour into the world, it's up to the Disc's first film stars to find out... THRILL as Victor Tugelbend ("Can't sing. Can't dance. Can handle a sword a little") and Theda Withel ("I come from a little town you've probably never even heard of") battle the forces of evil and cinema advertising... SCREAM as Gaspode the Wonder Dog nearly saves the day... EAT POPCORN as you watch the filming of "Blown Away," the oddest Civil War picture ever made... A Passionate Saga Set Against the background of a World Gone Mad! This Will Amaze You! With a Thousand Elephants! ("And afterwards, why not dine at Harga's House of Ribs, for the best in international cuisine; only two minutes from this book...")

Mrs Bradshaw's Handbook (Discworld, #40.5; Discworld Companion Books )

Terry Pratchett

Authorised by Mr Lipwig of the Ankh-Morpork and Sto Plains Hygienic Railway himself, Mrs Georgina Bradshaw’s invaluable guide to the destinations and diversions of the railway deserves a place in the luggage of any traveller, or indeed armchair traveller, upon the Disc. *From the twine walk of Great Slack to the souks of Zemphis: edifying sights along the route *Ticketing, nostrums and transporting your swamp dragon: essential hints on the practicalities of travel * Elegant resorts and quaint inns: respectable and sanitary lodgings for all species and heights. * From worm-herding to Fustic Cake: diverting trivia on the crafts, foods and brassica traditions of the many industrious people for whom the railway is now a vital link to the Century of the Anchovy Fully illustrated and replete with useful titbits, Mrs Bradshaw’s Handbook offers a view of the Sto Plains like no other.

Muhafızlar! Muhafızlar! (DiskDünya, #8; Bekçiler, #1)

Terry Pratchett

“Ankh-Morpork! Yüz bin ruhtan oluşan kargaşa dolu bir şehir! Ve o sayının on katı kadar da bir nüfus…” DiskDünya’nın en büyük, en kalabalık ve en pis şehri. Sarhoşların, hırsızların, sihirbazların, âşıkların, düşmanların, iyilerin ve kötülerin buluşma yeri. Ve artık, ejderhaların… “Dünyanın onca kentinde o kadar bataklık dururken, o ejderha benimkine uçtu…” Nereden geldiği belli olmayan devasa ve ölümcül ejderhaya karşı tek umut; itibarı ancak büyüteç ile görülebilen teşkilatın, yani Bekçilerin komutanı, Yüzbaşı Sam Vimes. Zımba gibi bir Bekçi. Ayık olduğu zamanlarda. Muhafızlar! Muhafızlar!, Ankh-Morpork’un labirentvari ve tehlikeli sokaklarında geçen, eski usul ve klasik bir kara polisiye; ejderhalar, cüceler, büyülü kitaplar, hazineler ve bakire kurbanlarla birlikte.

Nación

Terry Pratchett

El día que el mundo se acaba, Mau está volviendo a casa desde la isla de los Muchachos, habiendo superado el ritual de paso de la adolescencia a la edad adulta. Pero entonces llega la ola, una ola gigantesca que lo destruye todo y trae consigo una goleta, la Sweet Judy, que navegará por la isla y atravesará su jungla. Cuando el barco se estrella, sólo se salva un alma, una chica calzones lejanamente emparentada con la familia real de un lejano país en otro continente. La aldea ha desaparecido, la Nación y todo cuanto Mau conoce y ama ha desaparecido. Ahora sólo quedan él, la chica calzones y una gran cantidad de malentendidos. Juntos deben crear una nueva Nación a partir de los restos. Crear una nueva historia. Inteligente, ingeniosa y repleta de la sátira inimitable de Terry Pratchett, esta es una gran aventura que vuelve el mundo del revés, literalmente.

Nanny Ogg's Cookbook

Terry Pratchett

They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach which just goes to show they're as confused about anatomy as they gen'rally are about everything else, unless they're talking about instructions on how to stab him, in which case a better way is up and under the ribcage. Anyway, we do not live in a perfect world and it is foresighted and useful for a young woman to become proficient in those arts which will keep a weak-willed man from straying. Learning to cook is also useful. Nanny Ogg, one of Discworld's most famous witches, here passes on some of her huge collection of tasty and interesting recipes. In addition to such dishes as Nobby's Mum's Distressed Pudding, Mrs. Ogg imparts her thoughts on such matters as life, death, and courtship, all in a refined style that should not offend the most delicate of sensibilities. Well, not much. Most of the recipes have been tried out on people who are still alive.

Nation

Terry Pratchett

Alone on a desert island — everything and everyone he knows and loves has been washed away in a storm — Mau is the last surviving member of his nation. He’s completely alone — or so he thinks until he finds the ghost girl. She has no toes, wears strange lacy trousers like the grandfather bird, and gives him a stick that can make fire. Daphne, sole survivor of the wreck of the Sweet Judy, almost immediately regrets trying to shoot the native boy. Thank goodness the powder was wet and the gun only produced a spark. She’s certain her father, distant cousin of the Royal family, will come and rescue her but it seems, for now, that all she has for company is the boy and the foul-mouthed ship’s parrot, until other survivors arrive to take refuge on the island. Together, Mau and Daphne discover some remarkable things (including how to milk a pig, and why spitting in beer is a good thing), and start to forge a new nation. Encompassing themes of death and nationhood, Terry Pratchett’s new novel is, as can be expected, extremely funny, witty and wise. Mau’s ancestors have something to teach us all. Mau just wishes they would shut up about it and let him get on with saving everyone’s lives!

Night Watch (Discworld, #29)

Terry Pratchett

One moment, Sir Sam Vimes is in his old patrolman form, chasing a sweet-talking psychopath across the rooftops of Ankh-Morpork. The next, he's lying naked in the street, having been sent back thirty years courtesy of a group of time-manipulating monks who won't leave well enough alone. This Discworld is a darker place that Vimes remembers too well, three decades before his title, fortune, beloved wife, and impending first child. Worse still, the murderer he's pursuing has been transported back also. Worst of all, it's the eve of a fabled street rebellion that needlessly destroyed more than a few good (and not so good) men. Sam Vimes knows his duty, and by changing history he might just save some worthwhile necks though it could cost him his own personal future. Plus there's a chance to steer a novice watchman straight and teach him a valuable thing or three about policing, an impressionable young copper named Sam Vimes.

Nomów Księga Wyjścia (Księgi Nomów, #1)

Terry Pratchett

Dla tysięcy maleńkich nomów żyjących pod podłogą dużego sklepu nie istnieje inny świat. O takich zjawiskach jak dzień czy noc, słońce czy deszcz mówią już tylko stare legendy. Spokojne życie nomów burzy hiobowa wieść: sklep ma być zlikwidowany. Makslin, jeden z pozasklepowych nomów, organizuje zupełnie niewiarygodną ucieczkę swych pobratymców z ich zagrożonego świata...

Piramide (Disksvet #7)

Terry Pratchett

To što je bio obučavan u Esnafu ubica u Ank-Morporku nije odgovaralo Tepiku za zadatak koji mu je poverila sudbina. Nasledio je presto pustinjske kraljevine Djelibejbi mnogo ranije nego što je očekivao (ni njegov otac nije bio oduševljen zbog toga), ali to je bio tek početak njegovih problema…

Pokretne slike (Disksvet #10)

Terry Pratchett

Alhemičari Disksveta otkrili su magiju velikog ekrana. Ali, šta krije mračna tajna brda Holi Vud? Sudbina je odredila Viktora Tagelbenda (“Ne ume da peva. Ne ume da igra. Pomalo ume da barata mačem.”) i Tedu Vitel (“Dolazim iz malog mesta za koje verovatno nikad niste ni čuli.”) da to otkriju . . . ČUDESNO SMEŠNA SAGA SMEŠTENA U KOVITLAC POMAHNITALOG SVETA!!!

Pyramides (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #7)

Terry Pratchett

Assis sur un bloc de pierre, le fantôme du pharaon regardait les deux embaumeurs s'affairer sur sa dépouille. Tout compte fait, on a du mal à se réjouir du spectacle de deux artisans plongés jusqu'aux coudes dans ses entrailles. Quant aux blagues de circonstance... « Maître Aneth, dit le nouvel apprenti, ce boulot, ça remue les tripes mais qu'est-ce qu'on se boyaute ! » Car Teppicymon XXVII est mort et son fils va lui succéder. Pas facile d'hériter du trône quand on est encore un ado et qu'on vient d'achever ses études à la Guilde des Assassins... Vous voilà responsable du lever du soleil comme de l'abondance des récoltes. Et les ennuis vous guettent : vaches grasses, vaches maigres (par 7, bien entendu), sphinx, prêtres fanatiques, crocodiles sacrés et momies vagabondes. Sans compter que la Grande Pyramide a précipité le royaume dans une faille spatiotemporelle.

Pyramids (Discworld, #7)

Terry Pratchett

Being trained by the Assassin's Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not fit Teppic for the task assigned to him by fate. He inherited the throne of the desert kingdom of Djelibeybi rather earlier than he expected (his father wasn’t too happy about it either), but that was only the beginning of his problems...

Raising Steam (Discworld, #40; Moist von Lipwig, #3)

Terry Pratchett

To the consternation of the patrician, Lord Vetinari, a new invention has arrived in Ankh-Morpork - a great clanging monster of a machine that harnesses the power of all the elements: earth, air, fire and water. This being Ankh-Morpork, it's soon drawing astonished crowds, some of whom caught the zeitgeist early and arrive armed with notepads and very sensible rainwear. Moist von Lipwig is not a man who enjoys hard work - as master of the Post Office, the Mint and the Royal Bank his input is, of course, vital... but largely dependent on words, which are fortunately not very heavy and don't always need greasing. However, he does enjoy being alive, which makes a new job offer from Vetinari hard to refuse... Steam is rising over Discworld, driven by Mister Simnel, the man wi' t'flat cap and sliding rule who has an interesting arrangement with the sine and cosine. Moist will have to grapple with gallons of grease, goblins, a fat controller with a history of throwing employees down the stairs and some very angry dwarfs if he's going to stop it all going off the rails...

Reaper Man (Discworld, #11; Death, #2)

Terry Pratchett

Death is missing - presumed... er... gone. Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. Meanwhile, on a little farm far, far away, a tall dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe. There's a harvest to be gathered in...

Rechicero (Discworld, #5)

Terry Pratchett

En el desquiciado Mundodisco nace un brujo. No se trata de un brujo cualquiera, sino de uno tan poderoso que tendrá capacidad para destruir el mundo. Alguien debe impedirlo. Pero ¿quién? El resto de los brujos no puede competir con él. Sin embargo, cuando todos los caminos parecen cerrarse, surge una remota posibilidad de salvación.

Rincewind the Wizzard

Terry Pratchett

In the squalid, crime infested city of Ankh-Morpork - bifurcated seaport capital and oldest city of Discworld - one lives either by the sword or in the shadows... Includes The Colour of Magic, The Light Fantastic, Sourcery and Eric.

Ritos iguales (Mundodisco, #3)

Terry Pratchett

Un mago moribundo cede su bastón -y por tanto su poder- a Eskarina, un recién nacido que, según los rituales admitidos, no puede ser mago sino bruja. Con el tiempo, el rito de iniciación se completa con un aprendizaje más formal en la Universidad Invisible, inefable centro de estudios esotéricos, donde el mago Simón hace gala de sus increíbles poderes. Juntos, Eskarina y Simón tendrán que hacer frente a una invasión de extrañas criaturas que amenazan con destruir Mundo Disco... En esta nueva novela de la serie, las aventuras y peripecias de los personajes se multiplican a la par que las carcajadas del lector.

Równoumagicznienie (Świat Dysku, #3)

Terry Pratchett

Jest to opowieść o tym, czym jest magia i dokąd zmierza, a co ważniejsze, skąd przychodzi i po co. Przedstawiona historia nie pretenduje do odpowiedzi na wszystkie te pytania, może jednak pomóc w wyjaśnieniu, dlaczego Gandalf nigdy się nie ożenił i dlaczego Merlin był mężczyzną. Jest to również opowieść o seksie, choć nie w sensie atletyczno-gimnastycznym, czy też w sensie "policz wszystkie nogi i podziel przez dwa". Chyba że postacie całkowicie wyrwą się spod kontroli autora. I to jest możliwe.

Sestre po metli (Disksvet #6)

Terry Pratchett

Veštice po svojoj prirodi nisu sklone društvenom organizovanju i svakako nemaju svoje vođe. Baka Vedervaks je bila najuvaženija među vođama koje nisu imale. Ali čak je i ona otkrila da uplitanje u kraljevsku politiku krije mnogo više zavrzlama nego što su to tvrdili određeni dramski pisci. OD OVOG ROMANA ŠEKSPIR SE NEĆE OKRETATI U GROBU - KIDAĆE SE OD SMEHA

Shaking Hands with Death

Terry Pratchett

Why we all deserve a life worth living and a death worth dying for‘Most men don’t fear death. They fear those things – the knife, the shipwreck, the illness, the bomb – which precede, by microseconds if you’re lucky, and many years if you’re not, the moment of death.’When Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 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 Dimblebly Lecture 2010 and previously only available as part of A Slip of the Keyboard, he argues for our right to choose - our right to a good life, and a good death too.

Small Gods (Discworld, #13)

Terry Pratchett

In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: "Hey, you!" For Brutha the novice is the Chosen One. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please...

Snuff (Discworld, #39; City Watch, #8)

Terry Pratchett

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse. Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on holiday in the pleasant and innocent countryside, but not for him a mere body in the wardrobe. There are many, many bodies - and an ancient crime more terrible than murder. He is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth, out of bacon sandwiches, occasionally snookered and out of his mind. But never out of guile. Where there is a crime, there must be a finding, there must be a chase, and there must be a punishment. They say that in the end all sins are forgiven. But not quite all...

Soul Music (Discworld, #16; Death, #3)

Terry Pratchett

Other children get given xylophones. Susan just had to ask her grandfather to take his vest off. Yes. There's a Death in the family.It's hard to grow up normally when Grandfather rides a white horse and wields a scythe – especially when you have to take over the family business, and everyone mistakes you for the Tooth Fairy.And especially when you have to face the new and addictive music that has entered Discworld.It's lawless. It changes people.It's called "Music With Rocks In."It's got a beat and you can dance to it, but...It's ALIVE.And it won't fade away.

Sourcery (Discworld, #5; Rincewind, #3)

Terry Pratchett

There was an eighth son of an eighth son. He was, quite naturally, a wizard. And there it should have ended. However (for reasons we'd better not go into), he had seven sons. And then he had an eighth son... a wizard squared... a source of magic... a Sourcerer.

Strata

Terry Pratchett

The excavation showed that the fossilized plesiosaur had been holding a placard which read, "End Nuclear Testing Now." That was nothing unusual. But then came a discovery of something which DID intrigue Kin Arad. A flat earth was something new...

Straža! Straža! (Disksvet, #8)

Terry Pratchett

Ovamo odlaze zmajevi. Oni leže... nisu mrtvi i ne spavaju, već... dremaju. I mada prostor koji zauzimaju nije isti kao običan prostor, ipak su gusto složeni. Mogli bi da vas podsete na konzervu sardina, ako sardine zamišljate kao ogromne i sa kandžama. A možda je tu negde i ključ... POSLE OVOG ROMANA ZMAJEVI VIŠE NIKADA NEĆE BITI KAO RANIJE!

Stregoneria

Terry Pratchett

L'ultima volta che lo videro, l'inetto mago Scuotivento, protagonista dei primi due episodi della saga, stava precipitando oltre l'orlo del Mondo Disco. Ora, misteriosamente, ritorna a farsi vivo, portando con sé il Bagaglio vivente. Ma non è tutto. C'era una volta l'ottavo figlio di un ottavo figlio, che era, naturalmente, un mago. E, come se la cosa non fosse già abbastanza complicata, si dice che il mago avesse avuto a sua volta otto figli. L'ottavo era un mago, anzi uno stregone dai grandi poteri che avrebbe portato non pochi guai nel pazzo Mondo Disco.

Svetlost čudesnog (Disksvet, #2)

Terry Pratchett

Dok se kreće prema, čini se, neizbežnom sudaru sa zlokobnom crvenom zvezdom, Disksvet ima samo jednog mogućeg spasioca. Na nesreću, ispostavlja se da je to krajnje neuki i kukavički čarobnjak, zvani Rinsvind, koji je poslednji put viđen kako pada se ivice sveta...

The Abominable Snowman

Terry Pratchett

Captain the Honorable Sir Herbert Stephen Ernest Boring-Tristam-Boring (known as Bill) is very rich but very bored. When famed explorer Alfred Tence* shows up at Bill’s door, life gets considerably more exciting. Before long, they’re speeding off in a taxi to the distant mountains of Chilistan in search of the hairiest, most mysterious monster ever known—the Abominable Snowman! Featuring the signature wit and invention of one of the world’s most beloved writers, this irreverent, illustrated story is from Dragons at Crumbling Castle and Other Tales, by Terry Pratchett. [*Yes, that Alfred Tence—the man who rowed from Brighton to Bombay in a bathtub. It’s true.]

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents (Discworld, #28)

Terry Pratchett

Maurice and the rats have teamed up with a young lad named Keith to implement a clever moneymaking scheme. Upon entering a town, the rats make a general nuisance of themselves -- stealing food and widdling on things -- until the townsfolk become desperate to get rid of them. Then Maurice and Keith appear on the scene and offer to save the day by ridding the town of its infestation for a small fee. It seems like a surefire plan until the group arrives in the town of Bad Blintz and gets hooked up with Malicia, a young girl with a vivid imagination and a knack for finding trouble. When it's discovered that Bad Blintz already has a rat problem -- one that a couple of shifty-eyed rat catchers claim to have under control -- things turn deadly. For lurking beneath the town's streets is an obstacle course of mangling rattraps and noxious poisons. And beyond that is a monster so powerful and ugly, even Malicia couldn't imagine it. As Maurice and the rats battle for their very survival, a number of provocative themes surface: life after death, good versus evil, and the sacrifice of the few for the many.

The Amazing Maurice & His Educated Rodents (Discworld, #28)

Terry Pratchett

Imagine a million clever rats. Rats that don't run. Rats that fight...Maurice, a scruffy tomcat with an eye for the main chance, has the perfect fiddle going. He has a stupid-looking kid for a piper, and he has his very own plague of rats - rats who are strangely educated, so Maurice can no longer think of them as 'lunch'.

Think you know Ankh-Morpork? Think again. In this top-secret guide, travellers will receive a first-hand experience of the real city.

The Bromeliad Trilogy (Omnibus: Truckers / Diggers / Wings)

Terry Pratchett

In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember -- or even believe in -- life beyond the Store walls. Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed. Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think -- and to think BIG. Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett’s engaging trilogy traces the nomes’ flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams.

The Carpet People

Terry Pratchett

From the beloved and bestselling Sir Terry Pratchett, creator of the Discworld fantasy series. "In the beginning, there was nothing but endless flatness. Then came the Carpet."

The Color of Magic (Discworld, #1; Rincewind, #1)

Terry Pratchett

The Colour of Magic (Discworld, #1)

Terry Pratchett

In the beginning there was…a turtle.Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death, is a spectacularly inept wizard…

The Colour of Magic/The Light Fantastic

Terry Pratchett

There was a time when no one knew about the Discworld, a huge disc supported by five elephants standing on the enormous giant turtle known as the Great A'tuin ...Rincewind was a perfectly ordinary failed wizard until he met Twoflower, the Discworld's very first tourist, and before he quite knew what had happened, he found himself employed, at an outrageous salary, as Twoflower's guide to this strange world. They started off in the Disc's oldest proud Ankh and pestilent Morpork, the twin city known as Ankh-Morpork. Before too long the irrepressible Twoflower and Rincewind, who is both inept and cowardly, are forced to flee from the city. They meet up with an increasingly colourful cast of characters as they find themselves spending too much of their time being shot at, terrorised, chased, hanging from high places with no hope of salvation, or plunging from high places (likewise, with no hope of salvation) ...THE COLOUR OF MAGIC continues in THE LIGHT FANTASTIC, where an event is happening way overhead, far above the elephants and A'Tuin, where the very fabric of time and space is about to be put through the wringer.

The Colour of Magic / The Light Fantastic (Discworld, #1-2)

Terry Pratchett

The Colour of Magic On a world supported on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown), a gleeful, explosive, wickedly eccentric expedition sets out. There's an avaricious but inept wizard, a naive tourist whose luggage moves on hundreds of dear little legs, dragons who only exist if you believe in them, and of course THE EDGE of the planet... The Light Fantastic As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld has only one possible saviour. Unfortunately, this happens to be the singularly inept and cowardly wizard called Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the edge of the world...

The Compleat Ankh-Morpork: City Guide

Terry Pratchett

Greetings, adventurer! We lay before you this most comprehensive gazetteer encompassing all the streets of Ankh-Morpork, as well as information on its principal businesses, hotels, taverns, inns, and places of entertainment and refreshment, enhanced by the all-new and compleat map of our great city state. Our city has grown well beyond its ancient walls, but the remit of this commission from the honourable Guild of Merchants was to 'map the city', the pulsing organ of commerce and culture, the heart as opposed to the body, and this we have done. In spades. We ask that when you pore over this glorious work you spare some thought for the humble cartographers and surveyors who made journeys into the darker corners of our metropolis - no less dangerous than the wilds of Skund or Bhangbhangduc. To some the only memorial is the map you now possess. Others, in their quest for knowledge, paid the highest price that scholarship demands, which is to say, a day off in lieu. And so we dedicate this map and these accompanying words to the officers, councilors and members of the Merchants' Guild and to all who will find in its pages paths yet to tread and places yet to explore within the magnificentbwonder that is the city of Ankh-Morpork.

The Compleat Discworld Atlas

Terry Pratchett

Unseen University are proud to present the most comprehensive map and guide to the Disc yet produced. In this noble endeavour, drawing upon the hard won knowledge of many great and, inevitably, late explorers, one may locate on a detailed plan of our world such fabled realms as the Condiment Isles, trace the course of the River Kneck as it deposits silt and border disputes in equal abundance on the lands either side, and contemplate the vast deserts of Klatch and Howondaland - a salutary lesson in the perils of allowing ones goats to graze unchecked. This stunning work brings to life the lands and locations of the Discworld stories in a way never seen before. Accompanied by lavish full-colour illustrations and a detailed world map, this is a must-have for any Discworld fan.

“Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz.” —A.S. Byatt The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic— the first two volumes of Terry Pratchett’s phenomenally successful, New York Times bestselling Discworld series—are now available in this special anniversary graphic novel edition. Strikingly illustrated and painstakingly adapted, The Discworld Graphic Novels brings Prachett’s bizarre, outrageous—yet strangely familiar—universe of wizards, witches, vampires, bureaucrats, policemen, golems, dwarves, and living luggage to bold, visual life. The Houston Chronicle calls Terry Pratchett, “J.R.R. Tolkien with a sharper, more satiric edge.” The Washington Post compares him to Geoffrey Chaucer, while the Chicago Tribune admires his “Monty Python-like plots.” But in truth there’s no one quite like the incomparable Pratchett—on this world or any other.

The Discworld Mapp: Being the Onlie True and Mostlie Accurate Mappe of the Fantastyk and Magical Dyscworlde

Terry Pratchett

They said it couldn't be done. Well, it HAS been done, proving them wrong once again. After years of research, cunningly contrived in as many minutes, the Discworld has its map. It takes full account of the historic and much-documented expeditions of the Discworld's fêted (or at least fated) explorers: General Sir Roderick Purdeigh, Lars Larsnephew, Llamedos Jones, Lady Alice Venturi, Ponce da Quirm and, of course, Venter Borass. Now travellers on this circular world can see it all: from Klatch to the Ramtops, from Cori Celesti to the Circle Sea, from Genua to Bhangbhangduc. The great cities of Hunghung, Pseudopolis, Al Khali and, of course, Ankh-Morpork are placed with loving care upon this world which is carried through space by Great A'Tuin.

The Fifth Elephant (Discworld, #24; City Watch, #5)

Terry Pratchett

Sam Vimes is a man on the run. Yesterday he was a duke, a chief of police and the ambassador to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberworld. Now he was nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the forest to civilisation there's going to be a terrible war. But there are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves - and they're catching up. Sam Vimes is out of time, out of luck and already out of breath...

The First Discworld Novels: The Colour of Magic and the Light Fantastic

Terry Pratchett

Together in one volume, here are the first two Discworld novels, featuring Rincewind the wizard and his Luggage, Twoflower and innocent tourist and Cohen the Barbarian, the world's oldest and greatest hero. And not to mention Death, who's not so bad once you get to know him.

The Folklore of Discworld

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett joins up with a leading folklorist to reveal the legends, myths and customs of Discworld, together with helpful hints from Planet Earth.Most of us grew up having always known when to touch wood or cross our fingers, and what happens when a princess kisses a frog or a boy pulls a sword from a stone, yet sadly some of these things are beginning to be forgotten. Legends, myths, and fairy tales: our world is made up of the stories we told ourselves about where we came from and how we got here. It is the same on Discworld, except that beings, which on Earth are creatures of the imagination — like vampires, trolls, witches and, possibly, gods — are real, alive and, in some cases kicking, on the Disc.In The Folklore of Discworld, Terry Pratchett teams up with leading British folklorist Jacqueline Simpson to take an irreverent yet illuminating look at the living myths and folklore that are reflected, celebrated and affectionately libelled in the uniquely imaginative universe of Discworld.

The Globe (The Science of Discworld, #2)

Terry Pratchett

The planet Earth has picked up a parasite life-form - elves. They get everywhere. And they like humans to be superstitious, fearful and frightened of thunder. They're after our future and must be stopped... but by who? Enter the wizards of the Unseen University who, in the best-selling "Science of Discworld," unwittingly created Earth and our own universe. At the time they quite failed to notice humanity. (Well, we've only been around for a million years, so we're easily overlooked...) But now, at last, they've found us. "The Globe" is a unique book, weaving together a fast-paced Discworld novelette with cutting-edge scientific commentary on the evolution and development of the human mind, culture, language, art, and science. The result - as the wizards grapple with the nature of Good and Evil, and history is rewritten several times over - is a fascinating and brilliantly original view of the world we live in.

The Hogfather

Terry Pratchett

It's the night before Hogswatch. And it's too quiet. Where is the big jolly fat man? Why is Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say Ho Ho Ho? The darkest night of the year is getting a lot darker... Susan the gothic governess has got to sort it out by morning, otherwise there won't be a morning. Ever again... The 20th Discworld novel is a festive feast of darkness and Death (but with jolly robins and tinsel too). As they say: "You'd better watch out..."

Terry Pratchett

This is where the dragons went. They lie... not dead, not asleep, but... dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly.

After accepting the surrender he finds himself inside the game in his dreams, where he must deal with the suspicious Gunnery Officer as well as the understanding Captain, and work out exactly what they're all supposed to do now. This might all be the result of an over-active imagination except that the ScreeWee have disappeared altogether from everyone else's copy of the game.

The Last Continent (Discworld, #22; Rincewind, #6)

Terry Pratchett

This is the Discworld's last continent, a completely separate creation. It's hot. It's dry... very dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one now believes in. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right? And it'll die in a few days, except... Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Champion sheep shearer, horse rider, road warrior, beer drinker, bush ranger, and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's sober? A man in a hat, whose Luggage follows him on little legs, who's about to change history by preventing a swagman stealing a jumbuck by a billabong? Yes... all this place has between itself and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, the inept wizard who can't even spell wizard. He's the only hero left. Still... no worries, eh?

But he can't always remember, these days, where he put his teeth ...So now, with his ancient sword and his new walking stick and his old friends -- and they're very old friends -- Cohen the Barbarian is going on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain in the Discworld and meet his gods. The last hero in the world is going to return what the first hero stole. With a vengeance. That'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.

So now, with his ancient (yet still trusty) sword and new walking stick in hand, Cohen gathers a group of his old -- very old -- friends to embark on one final quest. He's going to climb the highest mountain of Discworld and meet the gods. It's time the Last Hero in the world returns what the first hero stole. Trouble is, that'll mean the end of the world, if no one stops him in time.

Terry Pratchett

For Joshua Valienté, now in his late sixties, it is time to take one last solo journey into the High Meggers: an adventure that turns into a disaster. Alone and facing death, his only hope of salvation lies with a group of trolls. But as Joshua confronts his mortality, the Long Earth receives a signal from the stars. A signal that is picked up by radio astronomers but also in more abstract ways – by the trolls and by the Great Traversers. Its message is simple but ts implications are enormous: JOIN US. The super-smart Next realise that the Message contains instructions on how to develop an immense artificial intelligence but to build it they have to seek help from throughout the industrious worlds of mankind. Bit by bit, byte by byte, they assemble a computer the size of a continent – a device that will alter the Long Earth’s place within the cosmos and reveal the ultimate, life-affirming goal of those who sent the Message. Its impact will be felt by and resonate with all – mankind and other species, young and old, communities and individuals – who inhabit the Long Earths…

The Streets of Ankh-Morpork

Terry Pratchett

Ankh-Morpork! City of One Thousand Surprises (according to the famous publication by the Guild of Merchants)! All human life is there! Although, if it walks down the wrong alley, often quite briefly! The city celebrated in the bestselling Discworld® series by Sir Terry Pratchett has been meticulously mapped for the first time. It's all here - from Unseen University to the Shades, from major landmarks like the Patrician's Palace to little-known, er, nooks like the Dwarf Bread Museum in Whirligig Alley. See the famous streets along which so many heroes have walked, in some cases quite hurriedly! As leading Ankh-Morpork entrepreneur C.M.O.T. Dibbler would say: A snip at any price - and that's cutting our own throat. Well, close.

The Thief Of Time

Terry Pratchett

Time is a resource. Everyone knows it has to be managed. And on the Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough time. But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd. Because it will stop time. And that will only be the start of everyone's problems. "Thief of Time" comes complete with a full supporting cast of heroes, villains, yetis, martial artists and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse (who left before they became famous).

The Time-travelling Caveman

Terry Pratchett

*A brand new collection of short stories from the incredible Sir Terry Pratchett!* Imagination is an amazing thing. It can take you to the top of the highest mountain, or down to the bottom of the deepest depths of the sea. This is where it took Doggins on his Awfully Big a quest full of magic and flying machines. (And the world's best joke - trust me, it's hilarious.) It took three young inventors to the moon (where they may or may not have left a bottle of lemonade) and a caveman on a trip to the dentist. You can join them on these adventures, and many more, in this incredible collection of stories . . . From the greatest imagination there ever was. Written for local newspapers when Terry Pratchett was a young lad, these never previously published stories are packed full of anarchic humour and wonderful wit. A must-have for Terry fans . . . and young readers looking for a fix of magic.

William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it's only the third edition...

The Unadulterated Cat

Terry Pratchett

The Unadulterated Cat is becoming an endangered species as more and more of us settle for those boring mass-produced cats the ad-men sell us - the pussies that purr into their gold-plated food bowls on the telly. But the Campaign for Real Cats sets out to change all that by helping us to recognise a true, unadulterated cat when we see one. For example: real cats have ears that look like they've been trimmed with pinking shears; real cats never wear flea collars . . . or appear on Christmas cards . . . or chase anything with a bell in it; real cats do eat quiche. And giblets. And butter. And anything else left on the table, if they think they can get away with it. Real cats can hear a fridge door opening two rooms away . . .

The Unadulterated Cat: The Amazing Maurice Edition

Terry Pratchett

Lo sapevate? I gatti si dividono in gatti Finti e gatti Veri. I primi vivono nelle pubblicità, mangiano docilmente (o così pare) il cibo dalla scatoletta indicata e sono tranquilli come ologrammi; i secondi non si sa bene dove vivano (a casa vostra? Per strada? Dai vicini?), non si sa bene cosa mangino e c’è da temere quando sono troppo tranquilli. Per difendere questa nobile specie è necessario prima di tutto saperla a questo scopo, Terry Pratchett, il grandissimo creatore di Mondo Disco, affiancato da Gray Jolliffe e dalle sue matite graffianti, ha scritto il prezioso volumetto che avete fra le mani. Qui sono descritti i gatti Veri in tutte le loro orecchie che sembrano falciate da una forbice dentellata, udito in grado di sentire un frigorifero che si apre dall’altro lato della casa, nessun bisogno di avere un nome dal momento che l’unico che riescono a comprendere è ‘Viadilìbruttobastardo!’. In diciotto capitoli esilaranti, scoprirete come procurarvi un gatto Vero, come farvi abbandonare da lui nelle circostante più raccapriccianti, come (non) portarlo dal veterinario, come stanarlo da un angolo irraggiungibile senza che abbiate bisogno di punti di sutura e come vivere felici anche quando non c’è (perché in realtà è sempre con voi. Siete voi che non lo vedete).

The World of Poo

Terry Pratchett

From Snuff : 'Vimes' prompt arrival got a nod of approval from Sybil, who gingerly handed him a new book to read to Young Sam. Vimes looked at the cover. The title was The World of Poo . When his wife was out of eyeshot he carefully leafed through it. Well, okay, you had to accept that the world had moved on and these days fairy stories were probably not going to be about twinkly little things with wings. As he turned page after page, it dawned on him that whoever had written this book, they certainly knew what would make kids like Young Sam laugh until they were nearly sick. The bit about sailing down the river almost made him smile. But interspersed with the scatology was actually quite interesting stuff about septic tanks and dunnakin divers and gongfermors and how dog muck helped make the very best leather, and other things that you never thought you would need to know, but once heard somehow lodged in your mind.'

With his beloved Watch crumbling around him and war-drums sounding, he must unravel every clue, outwit every assassin and brave any darkness to find the solution. And darkness is following him.

There are some things you HAVE to do!

Trois Sœurcières (Les Annales du Disque-Monde, #6)

Terry Pratchett

« Le vent hurlait. La foudre lardait le pays comme un assassin maladroit... La nuit était aussi noire que l'intimité d'un chat. Une de ces nuits, peut-être, où les dieux manipulent les hommes comme des pions sur l'échiquier du destin. Au coeur des éléments déchaînés luisait un feu, telle la folie dans l'oeil d'une fouine. Il éclairait trois silhouettes voûtées. Tandis que bouillonnait le chaudron, une voix effrayante criailla : "Quand nous revoyons-nous, toutes les trois ?" Une autre voix plus naturelle, répondit : "Ben moi, j'peux mardi prochain." » Rois, nains, bandits, démons, héritiers du trône, bouffons, trolls, usurpateurs, fantômes, histrions et tables tournantes : rien ne vous est épargné. Shakespeare n'en aurait pas rêvé tant. Ou peut-être si ? Avec, en exclusivité, le ravitaillement en vol d'un balai de sorcière.

Turtle Recall: The Discworld Companion . . . So Far

Terry Pratchett

The Discworld, as everyone knows, is a flat world balanced on the backs of four elephants which, in turn, stand on the shell of the giant star turtle, the Great A'Tuin, as it slowly swims through space. It is also a global publishing phenomenon with sales of over 70 million books worldwide (but who's counting?). The publication of Snuff brought the Discworld canon to 39 books - not including the various guides, mapps, diaries and other side-projects. That's a lot of Discworld to keep track of - more than most people can manage with just the one head - but fear not: help is at hand! If you're looking for the ultimate authority on probably the most heavily populated - certainly the most hilarious - setting in fantasy literature . . . If you need a handy guide to Discworld locales from Ankh-Morpork to Zemphis . . . If you want help telling Achmed the Mad from Jack Zweiblumen . . . If your life depends on being able to distinguish the Agatean Empire from the Zoons . . . . . . look no further than Turtle Recall - the latest Discworld Companion, fully updated and completely up to Snuff!

Eine zwielichtige Sekte mit dem viel sagenden Namen "Die aufgeklärten Brüder der völlig schwarzen Nacht" beschwört einen gewaltigen Drachen über Ankh-Morpork herauf, der die ganze Stadt in Schutt und Asche zu verwandeln droht. Wie soll es anders sein -- der Drache gerät außer Kontrolle und nur die mutige Stadtwache kann Ankh-Morpork vor dem Untergang bewahren. Mumm und seine Männer haben alle Hände voll zu tun, bis plötzlich von unvermuteter Seite Hilfe naht. Zugleich erzählt Wachen! Wachen! die Geschichte des von Zwergen adoptierten Findelkindes Karotte, das die heimatliche Mine verlässt, um sein Glück bei der Stadtwache zu versuchen. Lord Vetinari erfreut den Leser mit tiefsinnigen Gedanken über das Geheimnis des Herrschens. Und nicht zuletzt nimmt die Romanze zwischen Hauptmann Mumm und der Drachen züchtenden Lady Käsedick ihren stürmischen Anfang.

Wiedźmikołaj (Świat Dysku, #20)

Terry Pratchett

Zapadła noc przed Nocą Strzeżenia Wiedźm. I jest zbyt spokojnie. Jest też śnieg, latają rudziki i gile, stoją ubrane drzewka, ale daje się wyraźnie zauważyć brak grubego osobnika, który przynosi zabawki... Susan musi go odnaleźć przed świtem. Inaczej nie wzejdzie słońce. Niestety, do pomocy ma tylko kruka z apetytem na gałki oczne, Śmierć Szczurów i o boga kaca. Co gorsza, ktoś wsuwa się jednak przez komin. Tym razem niesie worek zamiast kosy, ale jest w nim coś nieprzyjemnie znajomego... HO. HO. HO. To prawda, co mówią: "Lepiej uważaj...".

Wings (Bromeliad Trilogy, #3)

Terry Pratchett

From the pen of Sir Terry Pratchett, beloved and bestselling author of the Discworld fantasy series comes a comic and insightful trilogy about a race of four-inch-high heroes trying to make sense of a human-size world. In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer remember—or even believe in—life beyond the Store walls. Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed. Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to think -- and to think BIG. Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett’s engaging trilogy traces the nomes’ flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dreams. Praise for the Bromeliad “Witty, funny, wise, and altogether delightful.”— Locus Magazine Meet more of Sir Terry Pratchett’s tiny-but-fierce heroes in the Discworld novel The Wee Free Men !

Wintersmith: Tiffany Aching, Book 3

Terry Pratchett

Witches Abroad (Discworld, #12; Witches, #3)

Terry Pratchett

Be careful what you wish for... Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart, a wise head, and poor planning skills—which unfortunately left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmother when DEATH came for Desiderata. So now it's up to Magrat Garlick, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn't marry the Prince. But the road to Genua is bumpy, and along the way the trio of witches encounters the occasional vampire, werewolf, and falling house (well this is a fairy tale, after all). The trouble really begins once these reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who'll stop at nothing to achieve a proper "happy ending"—even if it means destroying a kingdom.

Wyrd Sisters (Discworld, #6; Witches, #2)

Terry Pratchett

Witches are not by nature gregarious, and they certainly don't have leaders. Granny Weatherwax was the most highly-regarded of the leaders they didn't have. But even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more difficult than certain playwrights would have you believe...

Yozlaşmamış Kedi

Terry Pratchett

"Bugünlerde hayli çok sayıda insan, sağlık ve besleyici vitaminle dolup taşan, sıkıcı, toplu üretim kedilere alıştı, ancak bu kediler eskiden beslediğimiz o güzel kedilerin tırnağı bile olamaz. Gerçek Kedi Hareketi, insanların gerçek kedi gördüklerinde tanımalarına yardımcı olarak, bu durumu değiştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kitabın yazılış amacı budur."

Zimistrz (Świat Dysku, #35)

Terry Pratchett

Tiffany zrobiła jeden niewłaściwy krok, popełniła jeden drobny błąd... A teraz duch zimy się w niej zakochał. Daje róże i góry lodowe, wyznaje uczucie lawinami i obsypuje płatkami śniegu. Trudno to znosić, kiedy ma się trzynaście lat, ale jest to również trochę no... miłe. „Łojzicku!” A tak, klan Nac Mac Feeglów jest na miejscu, by pomagać i się wtrącać. Ale jeśli Tiffany nie znajdzie rozwiązania, może już nigdy nie przyjdzie wiosna...

Złodziej czasu (Świat Dysku #26)

Terry Pratchett

Czas jest zasobem. Wszyscy wiedzą, że trzeba nim gospodarować. Na Dysku zadanie to przypada Mnichom Historii, którzy magazynują go i przepompowują z miejsc, gdzie się marnuje (choćby spod wody – na co czas potrzebny dorszowi?), do wielkiego miasta, gdzie nigdy nie ma dość czasu. Konstrukcja pierwszego na świecie naprawdę dokładnego zegara staje się dla Lu-Tze i jego ucznia Lobsanga Ludda początkiem wyścigu... no, z czasem. Ponieważ ten zegar zatrzyma czas. A wtedy dopiero zaczną się prawdziwe kłopoty. Length: 12 godzin 10 min

Terry Pratchett

Беда грози чифлика на Сболки. От чукарите се спускат кошмари. А братчето на Тифани Сболки е отвлечено от кралицата на феите (макар че според Тифани това не е чак толкова зле). Тифани обаче трябва да го върне у дома. За целта разполага с оръжие (един тиган), магическата книга на баба си (е, всъщност "Болести по овцете") и... Кривунци! Ами назе, бе, главо улава! ...о, да. С нея са и Нак Мак Фигъл, Волният народец, войнствените, крадливи дребни синьокожи пиктсита, които са изхвърлени от страната на феите за пиянство и размирици...

Еманципирана магия (Истории от Света на Диска, #3)

Terry Pratchett

… Предсказал собствената си смърт, един магьосник иска да предаде жезъла си на наследник, който също е предсказан — осми син на осмия син. Само че не се оказва син, а дъщеря. А от жените не се очаква да бъдат магьосници. Но вече е късно. Ескарина наследява жезъла и се впуска с удоволствие в предначертаната й съдба.

Маскарад (Истории от Света на Диска, #18)

Terry Pratchett

Пред вас е Операта на Анкх-Морпорк… …огромно обширно здание, където маскирани фигури и закачулени сенки вършат белите си зад кулисите… …където да се отдадеш до смърт на сцената не е само метафора… …а неопитна млада певица е подмамена към участта си от коварен злодей в грозен вечерен костюм. Освен това там… …две възрастни дами с островърхи шапки хрупат фъстъци на втория балкон, зяпат големия полилей и подхвърлят: „Ето ти злополука, дето направо я молят да се случи.“ Да, Баба Вихронрав и Леля Ог, най-великите вещици в Света на Диска, се завръщат, за да отделят най-невинно една вечер за посещение в операта. Значи ще има олелия (но поне ще е добре изпипано представление с убийства и ще можете да припявате, докато тече действието)…

Terry Pratchett

Смерть ловит рыбу. Веселится на вечеринке. Напивается в трактире. А все обязанности Мрачного Жнеца сваливаются на хрупкие плечи его ученика. Но делать нечего: берем косу, прыгаем на белую лошадь Бинки — и вперед!

Terry Pratchett

Это Великий А’Туин, Вселенская Черепаха, которая бороздит безбрежный космос. Это четыре слона, которые держат на спинах Плоский мир.
