Говорят, будто бы на самом деле Терри Пратчетта не существует, и надо признать: под этими слухами есть вполне реальные основания. Сами посудите, неужели человек может написать СТОЛЬКО хороших книг? И чтобы было ОЧЕНЬ смешно? И чтобы они продавались МИЛЛИОННЫМИ тиражами? Вывод: такого человека просто не может быть. Чему решительно противится сам Терри, который благополучно живет и здравствует в Анг...
When a wizardly experiment goes adrift, the wizards of Unseen University find themselves with a pocket universe on their hands: Roundworld, where neither magic nor common sense seems to stand a chance against logic. The Universe, of course, is our own. And Roundworld is Earth. As the wizards watch their accidental creation grow, we follow the story of our universe from the primal singularity of th...

In a distant and second-hand set of dimensions, in an astral plane that was never meant to fly… Imagine a flat world, sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. The Discworld is a place (and a time) parallel to our own - but also very different. That is the setting for Terry Pratchett's phenomenally successful Discworld series, which now celebrate...
An illustrated version of one of Terry Pratchett's comic science-fiction novels. Mort has been chosen as Death's apprentice. He gets board and lodging, free use of company horse, and doesn't even need time off for his grandmother's funeral. Looking like a skeleton is not compulsory, either.
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 tra...
Все зависит от точки зрения. В частности от того, насколько высоко она расположена. Если в тебе десять сантиметров роста, даже переход улицы - сложное и рискованное предприятие. Не всякий на такое решится. А уж для того, чтобы пуститься в путь на огромном рычащем чудовище под названием "грузовик", требуется по-настоящему веская причина. Например, чтобы весь мир начал рушиться. Мир, каким он видитс...

Эта книга сама по себе является историей - хотя, нет - двумя историями, сплетенными вместе. История, записанная в нечетных главах, - это фантастическая повесть о Плоском Мире. В четных же главах мы расскажем историю о науке Разума (снова в метафизическом смысле). Обе истории тесно связаны, и по замыслу должны подходить друг к другу, как перчатка и нога; научная история представлена в виде Очень Дл...

Here's the golf course that's not so much crazy as insane, and the useless maze, and the dark gardens - all brought (incongruously) to life. And here, for the first time ever, you will find out the reason why Death can't understand r...
Focus on a planet revolving in space . . . Focus in on a small country in the northern hemisphere - Great Britain. Closer, closer . . . and on the western edge of London you can see the county of Buckinghamshire. Small villages and winding country roads. And if you could go back in time to the mid nineteen-sixties, you might spot a young lad on a motorbike coming down one such lane, notebo...
For more than two decades, Terry Pratchett has been regaling readers with tales of Discworld—a flat world balanced on the backs of four elephants, which are standing on the back of a giant turtle, flying through space. It is a world populated by ineffectual wizards and sharp-as-tacks witches, by tired policemen and devious dictators, by reformed thieves and vampires who have sworn to drink no bloo...
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 wi...

Всем фанатам вселенной под названием "Плоский мир" знакомо имя Пола Кидби. С самого начала этого неспокойного века мистер Кидби был бессменным автором иллюстраций для книг сэра Пратчетта.

А без Терри Пратчетта не было бы и худо...
