Последние издания книг Терри Пратчетта

Аудиторы Реальности увольняют Смерть за гнусное преступление: развитие личности. Теперь Мрачному Жнецу придётся доживать отмеренный ему срок, как обычным людям. Взяв новое имя, он решает поработать на ферме (в конце концов, коса у него уже есть). А для обитателей Плоского мира Смерти пока просто… нет. Но что делать душам мёртвых, если их не встречают, чтобы…

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.

At long last, Lady Sybil has lured her husband, Sam Vimes, on a well-deserved and long-overdue holiday. But for the commander of the City Watch, a vacation in the country is anything but relaxing. The balls, the teas, the muck—not to mention all that fresh air and birdsong—are more than a bit taxing on a cynical city-born and -bred copper.

The policeman is back on familiar ground when a body is found—the first of many, many corpses—and an ancient crime more terrible than murder is uncovered. Out of his jurisdiction, out of his element, and out of bacon sandwiches (thanks to his well-meaning wife)—Sam must rely on his copper’s instincts, guile, and Ankh-Morpork street smarts to see justice done.

As he sets off on the chase, though, he must remember to watch where he steps. . . . This is the countryside, after all, and the streets most definitely are not paved with gold.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Snuff is the 8th book in the City Watch collection and the 39th Discworld book.

«Зимар» — роман із серії «Дискосвіт» Террі Пратчетта, продов­ження пригод маленької відьмочки Тіфані Болячки.

Як так сталося, що Тіфані Болячка помінялася місцями з самою Володаркою Літа? А все тому, що не слухала старших, точніше, свою наставницю пані Зрадоньку. Та що вона могла вдіяти, якщо ноги самі затягли її у темний морріс денс й витанцьовували так, що у неї закохався стихійник Зимар?

Баланс Дискосвіту знову порушено, звичний порядок речей став дуже незвичним, а на додачу засніженим та холоднючим. Тіфані разом з малолюдцями — а куди ж без них? — доведеться врятувати світ від вічного холоду.

Чи існують боги, якщо в них ніхто по-справжньому не вірить? Адже це побожні віряни дають богам і дрібним боженятам силу й могуть. Великий Ом переконався в цьому на власному прикладі, коли зненацька виявив себе в тілі... звичайнісінької черепахи. ­Уявіть богове здивування, коли з’ясувалося, що єдиною людиною, яка в нього щиро вірує в цілій гігантській і складній структурі Церкви Великого Господа Ома, є трішки недолугий послушник Брута, який доглядає грядки з динями і квасолею. Йому й доведеться рятувати Омнію від амбіцій зловісного диякона Ворбіса та засилля Квізиції, зупинити війну з сусідніми країнами, а ще — захистити існування свого господа. Звучить непогано, як на простого послушника.

'THE JURISDICTION OF A GOOD MAN EXTENDS TO THE END OF THE WORLD.'

Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is having some time off. Apparently.

But crime doesn't take a break - it's a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman on holiday would barely have time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.

In the seemingly peaceful countryside, Vimes discovers much more than a body in the wardrobe. For the local nobles are hiding a deep, dark secret. There are many, many bodies - and an ancient atrocity more terrible than murder.

Vimes is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth and out of his mind. But never out of ideas. Where there is a crime there must be a punishment.

They say that in the end all sins are forgiven. This might be the exception ...

Snuff is the eighth book in the City Watch series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

“A lively outing, complete with sly shout-outs to Jane Austen and gritty police procedurals.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In Terry Pratchett’s delightful New York Times bestselling tale of crime, class, prejudice, and punishment, Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on vacation. But this is Discworld, where nothing goes as planned—and hilarious adventure ensues. This new recording is narrated by actor Jon Culshaw (Dead Ringers, and the Doctor Who audiobooks). Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace) stars as the voice of Death.

Приличный мошенник Мокриц фон Липвиг находит выход из любой ситуации, из любого города – даже такого, как Анк-Морпорк. После воровства, мошенничества и… смерти через повешение он займет должность Главного Почтмейстера. Но разве на эту работу он рассчитывал?

Что, если заняться реформированием банковской системы по предложению патриция Витинари? Выбрать путь благочестивого горожанина, а заодно стать хозяином песика Шалопая, владеющего мажоритарным пакетом акций «Королевского банка»?

Два романа из цикла «Плоский мир» в неповторимом стиле сэра Терри Пратчетта.

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...

A STROKE OF THE PEN is a must-have collection for fans of all ages.
