The eye-wateringly funny fantasy romp across the Discworld, featuring the most incompetent wizard you'll ever find . . .'The Discworld novels have always been among the most serious of comedies, the most relevant and real of fantasies' IndependentIt is known as the Discworld. It is a flat planet, supported on the backs of four elephants, who in turn stand on the back of the great turtle A'Tuin as it swims majestically through space. And it is quite possibly the funniest place in all of creation...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 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 . . . 'Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.' The Discworld's most inept wizard has found himself on 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 believes in. Practically everything that's not poisonous is venomous. But it's the best bloody place in the world, all right?And in a few days, it will be 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.Still . . . no worries, eh?

As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld could do with a hero. What it doesn't need is a singularly inept and cowardly wizard, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world, or a well-meaning tourist and his luggage which has a mind (and legs) of its own. Which is a shame, because that's all there is . . .

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.'

Limitovaná ediceHlavní hrdina Samuel Elánius se cítí skvěle. Přesto je více méně okolnostmi (méně) a svou milovanou ženou Sibylou (více) přesvědčen o tom, že potřebuje dovolenou, která prospěje jak jemu, tak malému Samíkovi. Venkovská idylka je nádherná, ale nudná. Jenže jak říká Elánius: „Kde jsou policajti, tam je zločin!“ Brzy se i v Hrabství začnou vynořovat různé menší i větší záhady, a už to není jen to příšerné venkovské ticho, co nedává Elániovi spát. Co se to v Hrabství stalo před lety? Co o tom ví místní kovář Zafrkoň? A kam se najednou poděl? Zabil ho Elánius, jak by ráda dokázala místní smetánka, hlavně mladý lord Gravid Rzezacz? Má s tím něco společného bývalý policista Jeminák, zdejší hospodský? A co místní skřeti a jejich schránky unggue? Pašuje se v Hrabství opravdu jen tabák? Získá malý Samík do své sbírky konečně vytoužený sloní trus? A provdají se dívky - šesterčata Orobincova? To vše řeší Elánius za skvělé pomoci nedostižného Jeefese, který nemá konkurenci.Terry Pratchett znovu tak, jak ho mají čtenáři rádi.

Koumské údolí? To je místo, kde trollové přepadli ze zálohy trpaslíky... nebo to snad ze zálohy přepadli trpaslíci trolly? Stalo se to velmi daleko a velmi dávno. Jenže jestli teď Sam Elánius, velitel ankh-morporské městské hlídky, nevyřeší vraždu jednoho trpaslíka, bude muset přihlížet, jak trollové s trpaslíky bojují přímo před jeho kanceláří. Zatímco kolem něj se rozpadá jeho milovaná Hlídka a duní válečné bubny, musí odhalit každou stopu, být chytřejší než každý vrah a pokořit každou temnotu a najít řešení. Ach ano... a každý den v šest hodin, pravidelně, bez jakékoliv výjimky, musí dorazit domů, přečíst svému malému chlapečkovi knihu "Kdepak je má kravička?" a doprovodit čtení všemi pravými zvuky zvířátek v hospodářství. Jsou věci, které prostě udělat musíte...

Smrť je nezvěstný. Předpokládá se, že jaksi ... odešel. Pravdou však je, že dostal výpověď. To samozřejmě působí určitý zmatek, jaký ostatně vznikne pokaždé, když zrušíte nějakou hodně využívanou službu veřejnosti. Zeměplochu pomalu naplňují nejrůznější duchové, a skupina bojovníků za práva mrtvých má najednou víc práce než kdykoliv předtím. Zatím se kdesi daleko na venkově objeví podivný, velmi skromný cizinec, který, jak se ukáže, umí skvěle zacházet s kosou. Jeho obrovský bílý kůň se skvostným postrojem sice vypadá jako kradený, ale začínají žně a každé ruky je zapotřebí. Cizinec nastoupí jako výtaný pomocník na farmě slečny Zahořalé a pustí se do práce, i když chvílemi tak nějak po svém...

Úžasná Zeměplocha č. 3. Když se na Zeměploše narodí osmému synovi osmé dítě a je to také syn, dostává podle tradice do vínku kouzelnickou hůl a stane se z něho mág. Dcer se tento nepsaný zákon netýká, protože s ženami zeměplošská magie vůbec nepočítá. Stařický kouzelník Podomní Kšaft si až příliš pozdě uvědomil, co způsobil, když svou hůl předal právě narozenému osmému potomku osmého syna, aniž se přesvědčil, zda je to kluk.

Anhk-morporkská Opera ... obrovská budova, v jejíchž prostorách se pohybují maskované postavy a provozují své nekalé rejdy ... kde umírání na jevišti občas bývá víc než metafora ... kde jsou nevinné mladé sopranistky lákány do osudových tenat padouchy v děsivě odporných večerních robách. Kde narazíte na dvě stará dámy ve špičatých kloboucích, které zatímco v lóži pojídají burské oříšky, upírají pohledy na obrovský křišťálový lustr nad hledištěm a tiše si pobrukují: "No, jestli se teď každou chvíli nestane velký neštěstí, tak teda nevím." Ano, Bábi Zlopočasná a Stařenka Oggová, největší čarodějky Zeměplochy, se vypravily užít si jeden nevinný (ale co je u Bábi Zlopočasné tak docela nevinné?) večer v Opeře. A nejen to. Je tedy jasné, že budou potíže (jenže pěkné představení s několika zavražděnými si prostě musíte procítit).

Kniha nás provází dobrodružstvím starého známého Lu-Tze, uklízeče u mnichů historického řádu. Náplní jejich práce je starat se o Čas, který, jak všichni víme, je Zdrojem. Kdo lépe by zvládl uskladnit Čas a pak jej napumpovat do míst, kde se s ním plýtvalo, například pod vodou, a také do míst jako jsou velká města, kde naopak nikdy není času dostatek. Do kláštera Oi Dond přichází nový učeň - Lobsang. A zatím v Ankh-Morporku někdo jiný s obrovským latentním talentem získává velmi zajímavou nabídku. Pro mistra hodináře je to taková třešnička na dortu jeho celoživotní práce - totiž stvořit první absolutně přesné zeměplošské hodiny. Jak se práce na hodinách chýlí ke svému závěru, vlnění času dosáhne až do Oi Dongu a dva budoucí mniši, zatím však jen učni - čekatelé, jsou vysláni do Ankh-Morporku, zachránit svět. Zatímco Lu-Tze, Lobsang a Zuzana Stohelitská bojují proti Auditorům za Historii Zeměplochy, Smrť kontaktuje své staré známé - čtyři jezdce Apokalypsy. Koneckonců není jeho prací zachraňovat lidské životy... Opravdový Konec světa si přece zaslouží pořádné sfouknutí svíčky. A kdo lépe by zvládl takový Konec světa než Smrť, Válka, Hladomor a Znečištění a dal tomu všemu takový krásný, hladký a důstojný průběh. Škoda jen, že ti zbylí tři si docela užívají svého důchodu a opravdu nechtějí být otravováni... Zloděj Času představuje kompletní sbírku hrdinů, zbabělců, yettiů, válečníků a Ronnieho - pátého jezdce Apokalypsy (který od nich odešel těsně před tím, než se stali slavnými)...

Představte si klikatou říčku, která je hranicí mezi Borogravií a Plesnivinskem a po každých deštích radikálně změní koryto. Schyluje se k válce. Na území, které po posledních deštích připadlo Borogravii, stála totiž jedna z ankh-morporkských signálních věží. Vládkyně Borogravie dala věž zbourat. Patricij vyslal na ochranu malého Plesnivinska, a samozřejmě tak trochu i ankh-morporkských zájmů, oddíl vojska, jemuž velí Řezník Elánius (jak mu říkají Borogravijci). Na obranu rodné Borogravie se dá naverbovat i Apoléna, ať už k tomu má důvody jakékoliv. Ztracena mezi vojáky lidmi, vojáky trolly a vojákem Igorem, prodělává na pochodu k hlavním jednotkám tvrdý výcvik pod velením svobodníka Řemendera a desátníka Honzáruma. Apoléna ale brzy zjistí, že ve skutečnosti je mnoho věcí úplně jinak, než se na první pohled zdá...

Pastýřská koruna je poslední knihou Terryho Pratchetta. Napsal ji během posledního roku svého života, ještě předtím, než začátkem roku 2015 podlehl neodbytné a atypické formě Alzheimerovy choroby. Uzavřou se tu dobrodružství Toničky Bolavé, jejích oddaných Fíglů i spřátelených čarodějek. Objeví se i zcela nový hrdina, který si jistě velmi rychle získá sympatie čtenářů, a nikoliv jen jejich. Dojde k válce s elfy, která je sice krátká, ale o to zuřivější, a jistě neprozradíme nic nečekaného, když řekneme, že elfové i tentokrát odtáhnou s krvavými nosy. Podíváme se do Ankh-Morporku, k trpasličí firmě, která se zabývá výrobou košťat, a zažijeme dosti nezvyklou přeměnu povýšené čarodějky paní Našeptávalové. Rozloučíme se s celou řadou starých známých a jde o loučení o to těžší, že o jejich dalších osudech si už můžeme nechat jen zdát. Bylo ještě tolik knih, které chtěl Terry Pratchett napsat. Kdyby zůstal naživu, byla by nepochybně i Pastýřská koruna mnohem obsáhlejší, ale i tak je to dobrá kniha a fanouškové Terryho Pratchetta s ní jistě zažijí řadu příjemných chvil.
