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.

La luz fantástica
- 276 páginas
- 10 horas de lectura
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.
Equal rites. A Discworld novel
- 285 páginas

‘Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd’ The Sunday Times The Discworld is very much like our own – if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . . They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it’s not half so bad as a lot of ignorance. The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did, before Death laid a bony hand on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of an eighth son. Unfortunately for his colleagues in the chauvinistic (not to say misogynistic) world of magic, he failed to check that the baby in question was a son. Everybody knows that there's no such thing as a female wizard. But now it's gone and happened, there's nothing much anyone can do about it. Let the battle of the sexes begin . . . ____________________ The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Equal Rites is the first book in the Witches series.

Things like crowns had a troublesome effect on clever folks; it was best to leave all the reigning to the kind of people whose eyebrows met in the middle. Three witches gathered on a lonely heath. A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the crown of the kingdom, both missing. Witches don't have these kind of dynastic problems themselves - in fact, they 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 complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe, particularly when the blood on your hands just won't wash off and you're facing a future with knives in it ..
'LOOK AFTER THE DEAD, SAID THE PRIESTS, AND THE DEAD WOULD LOOK AFTER YOU.'Young Prince Teppic is sent far away from his desert homeland to the city of Ankh-Morpork for the best education money can buy.

Teppic returns home to the small, penniless kingdom of Djelibeybi to take his place as ruler.It isn't easy, being a teenage pharaoh. As tradition dictates, the new king must build a monumental pyramid to honour his dead father. But this one might just bankrupt the kingdom, and warp the very fabric of time and space itself . . .'Pratchett remains a consistently clever, charming and funny voice' - IndependentThe Discworld novels can be read in any order but Pyramids is a standalone.

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 unforunately 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.

Sin embargo, hasta el momento, la Guardia Nocturna solo cuenta con los voluntariosos servicios del Cabo Zanahoria (técnicamente un enano), el agente Cuddy (realmente un enano), el agente Detritus (un troll), la agente Angua (una mujer… la mayor parte del tiempo) y el cabo Nobbs (descalificado de la carrera evolutiva por hacer trampas). Pero ahora nuestros protagonistas necesitan toda la ayuda que puedan conseguir. Deben hacer frente a toda costa a un asesino despiadado que se sirve de una nueva y mortífera arma y, lo que es peor, tiene un plan para devolver a la ciudad de Ankh-Morpork a su antiguo esplendor. La misión no será fácil para nuestros vigilantes. Comparado con la que se les viene encima, acabar con aquel dragón que atacó la ciudad años atrás resultó fácil.

The Ghost in the bone-white mask who haunts the Ankh-Morpork Opera House was always considered a benign presence—some would even say lucky—until he started killing people. The sudden rash of bizarre backstage deaths now threatens to mar the operatic debut of country girl Perdita X. (nee Agnes) Nitt, she of the ample body and ampler voice. Perdita's expected to hide in the chorus and sing arias out loud while a more petitely presentable soprano mouths the notes. But at least it's an escape from scheming Nanny Ogg and old Granny Weatherwax back home, who want her to join their witchy ranks. Once Granny sets her mind on something, however, it's difficult—and often hazardous—to dissuade her. And no opera-prowling phantom fiend is going to keep a pair of determined hags down on the farm after they've seen Ankh-Morpork.

The truth

Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels have dominated bestseller lists in England for over a decade, with the author selling more hardcover books in the UK during the 1900s than any other living novelist. Recognized as a master of satire and parody, Pratchett's irreverent humor is finally gaining traction in America. In his twenty-fifth Discworld installment, he explores the power of the press and its role in shaping truth. William de Worde, the lesser son of a privileged family and a struggling scribe, decides to launch a newsletter using a new printing press. True to his family's motto, he finds success with the Ankh-Morpork Times, attracting the ire of rival factions who aim to undermine him with their own scandalous publication. As competition heats up, de Worde faces a more pressing challenge: Lord Vetinari, the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, is accused of a serious crime in a seemingly foolproof case. However, de Worde understands that facts do not always equate to truth. Joined by an overly proper assistant, a vampire photographer with a troublesome flashgun, and a talking dog who holds crucial information, he is determined to uncover the truth. This sharp commentary on the media, the nature of news, and political intrigue promises to engage readers fully.

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.

La acompañan los Nac Mac Feegle, unos seres azules, bravucones y ladronzuelos que fueron expulsados del País de las Hadas y que apenas sí se levantan unos pocos centímetros del suelo.

War has come to Discworld ... again. And, to no one's great surprise, the conflict centers around the small, arrogantly fundamentalist duchy of Borogravia, which has long prided itself on its unrelenting aggressiveness. A year ago, Polly Perks's brother marched off to battle, and Polly's willing to resort to drastic measures to find him. So she cuts off her hair, dons masculine garb, and -- aided by a well-placed pair of socks -- sets out to join this man's army. Since a nation in such dire need of cannon fodder can't afford to be too picky, Polly is eagerly welcomed into the fighting fold—along with a vampire, a troll, an Igor, a religious fanatic, and two uncommonly close "friends." It would appear that Polly "Ozzer" Perks isn't the only grunt with a secret. But duty calls, the battlefield beckons. And now is the time for all good ... er ... "men" to come to the aid of their country.

O lo que es lo mismo, entre pensar unas famosas últimas palabras de camino a la horca, o aceptar la oferta de lord Vetinari de modernizar el moribundo servicio de correos de Ankh-Morpork. Pasar de la honrada delincuencia a trabajar para el gobierno... hum, difícil decisión. Tendría que reabrir la destartalada Oficina de Correos, en la que se acumulan toneladas de cartas desde hace años. Tendría que desafiar el sol, la lluvia, la nieve, los perros, los trolls con palos, las enormes cosas verdes con dientes y tantos otros obstáculos en la ruta de un cartero. Tendría que enfrentarse a su principal competencia: el equipo directivo de la compañía de torres de señales que ha monopolizado las comunicaciones del Mundodisco. Y tampoco estaría nada mal conseguir una cita con la señorita Buencorazón... Tal vez haga falta un timador nato, con don de gentes y mucho estilo, para triunfar donde otros más escrupulosos han fracasado. Puede que sea el momento de tomar... cartas en el asunto.

Lleva a cabo esas partes de la brujería que no son nada divertidas ni glamurosas, no hacen saltar chispas, no tienen nada que ver con varitas, y de las que rara vez se oye hablar: cuida a los necesitados. Pero alguien, o algo, está fomentando el miedo, inculcando oscuras ideas contra las brujas y resucitando rumores muy desagradables sobre ellas. De repente, el simple hecho de llevar un sombrero puntiagudo puede traer muchos problemas. Aun peor, todo apunta a que el culpable sea un misterioso fantasma que está persiguiendo a una joven bruja en especial. Y ya casi ha dado con ella... Con la ayuda de sus diminutos aliados azules, Tiffany deberá encontrar y acabar con este malestar atacando su raíz. Porque si Tiffany cae, la Caliza entera caerá con ella.

The new Discworld novel from Britain's number one bestselling writer sees the Disc's first train come steaming into town. 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 of 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.
