The ''Discworld'' is a series of over 30 novels by Terry Pratchett set on Discworld (world). Since the first novel of the series, 1983's ''The Colour of Magic'', the series has gone from strength to strength, spawning many related works including music inspired by the series as well as cartoon and theatre adaptations. Newly released Discworld books regularly top The Sunday Times bestsellers list, with Pratchett being the United Kingdom's best selling author in the 1990s, mainly on the strength of the Discworld (he has since been overtaken by J.K. Rowling). Discworld novels have also won awards such as the Prometheus Award and the Carnegie Medal. In the BBC's Big Read, four Discworld books were in the top 100, and a total of fourteen in the top 200. ==Published work== ===The novels=== The world has been chronicled through at least 30 novels so far and several short stories. The novels prior to ''The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents'' (and almost all Terry Pratchett books to date) had cover art done by Josh Kirby (who died in October 2001), but only in the original British editions. The American editions, published by HarperCollins, do not feature Kirby's cover art. Recent British editions of Pratchett's older novels no longer feature Kirby's art. Since the death of Kirby, the covers have been designed by artist Paul Kidby. Almost all of the Discworld novels are notable for having no chapter divisions. Instead, most of the time there are different storylines interwoven with each other. ''Going Postal'' did entirely the opposite even going so far as to include a prologue and epilogue along with brief teasers of what was to come in each chapter. Many novels share the same lead characters and show their development over time. Some of the main characters of one book may also make a cameo appearance in another book where they are not the primary focus; for example Samuel Vimes appears briefly in ''Going Postal''. The novels can be grouped into several story 'arcs', with characters or themes in common: * The Rincewind stories - These stories centre around a wizard of sorts called Rincewind. The 'of sorts' is because Rincewind is a complete failure at magic, but through a series of events is recognised as a wizard (for want of any other suitable term). The other wizards at the Unseen University are sometimes seen in these stories. * The Witches (Discworld) stories - These stories centre around the witches of Lancre, particularly Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat Garlick, and later Agnes Nitt. * The Death stories - These stories centre around Death (Discworld) in his usual personification as a skeleton in black robes with a scythe. Death's companions are his granddaughter Susan Sto Helit (Discworld), his butler Albert (Discworld) and the Death of Rats, the rat equivalent of the human Death. In later novels Susan takes centre stage, although Death is still a key player. * The City Watch stories - These stories centre around Ankh-Morpork's equivalent of a police force, the City Watch. Samuel Vimes leads the city watch, and among his officers are Carrot Ironfoundersson, Angua, Sergeant Colon, Detritus and Nobby Nobbs. * The Witches (Discworld)#Tiffany Aching stories - These stories centre around the character of Tiffany Aching, a young girl who has the unusual allies of the Nac Mac Feegle. The stories are primarily written as children's books. They also tie in to the Witches stories, especially ''A Hat Full of Sky''. * The Miscellaneous stories - where none of the above five applies, or the main characters from them only appear briefly, or at least not as the main characters of the story in question. The best example of these is possibly ''Small Gods.''

The first two are available [http://www.lspace.org/books/index.html online]. The third was published in ''After The King: Stories in honour of J. R. R. Tolkien'', and the fourth in ''Legends'', edited by Robert Silverberg. In addition, all of these stories, as well as such Discworld miscelleny as the history of Thud and the Ankh-Morpork national anthem have been collected as part of a compilation of all Pratchett's shortwork, ''Once More* *With Footnotes''. ===Quiz Books=== Thus far, there are also two Discworld Quizbooks compiled by David Langford: * The Unseen University Challenge, parodying the TV quiz show ''University Challenge'' * The Wyrdest Link, parodying the TV quiz show ''The Weakest Link'' ===The Maps=== Furthermore, there are four Maps: * The Streets of Ankh-Morpork (1993) * The Discworld Mapp (1995) * A Tourist Guide to Lancre (1998) * Death's Domain (1999) The first two were drawn by Stephen Player, based on plans by Pratchett and Stephen Briggs, the third is a collaboration between Briggs and Kidby, and the last is by Paul Kidby. All also contain booklets written by Pratchett and Briggs. ===Non-fiction books=== Pratchett has also collaborated with Ian Stewart (mathematician) and Jack Cohen (scientist) on three books using the Discworld to illuminate popular science topics: * The Science of Discworld * The Science of Discworld II: The Globe * The Science of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch ===Diaries=== Most years see the release of a Discworld Diary and Calendar, both usually following a particular theme. ===Associated publications=== Other Discworldesque publications include: * ''The Discworld Portfolio'' (a collection of Paul Kidby's artwork, with notes by Pratchett) * ''The Discworld Companion'' (an encyclopedia of Discworld information, compiled by Pratchett and Briggs) * ''Nanny Ogg's Cookbook'' (a collection of Discworldly recipes, combined with ettiquette, language of flowers etc., written by Pratchett with Stephen Briggs and Tina Hannan) * ''The Art of Discworld'' (another collection of Paul Kidby's art) * ''The Ankh-Morpork Almanack'' (an almanac for the Discworld year, in the style of the Diaries and the Cookbook, written by Pratchett with Bernard Pearson) ==Adaptations== ===Stage adaptations=== Stage adaptations of nine Discworld novels have been published, with proceeds from the rights going to charity. The adaptations are by Stephen Briggs, and were first produced by the Studio Theatre Club in Abingdon, England, Oxfordshire. They include adaptations of ''The Truth'', ''Maskerade'', ''Mort'', ''Wyrd Sisters'', and ''Guards! Guards!''. Stage adaptions of Discworld novels have been performed on every continent in the world, including Antarctica. ===Movie adaptations=== There have been several aborted attempts at bringing stories from the Discworld to the silver screen, including a fan attempt of ''Maskerade'' that inevitably failed through lack of funds. Australian group ''Snowgum Films'' have completed principal photography on the short story ''Troll Bridge (movie)''. A link to their website can be found below. A fan movie adaptation of ''Lords and Ladies (novel)'' is currently being produced in Germany. ===Animated adaptations=== Animated adaptations of ''Soul Music'' and ''Wyrd Sisters'' were produced by Cosgrove-Hall Productions for Channel 4 in 1996. These are available on DVD and VHS in the US from Acorn Media. The soundtrack to ''Soul Music'' was also released on CD. ===Radio adaptations=== There have been several BBC radio adaptations of Discworld stories, including versions of ''Wyrd Sisters'', ''Guards! Guards!'' (narrated by Martin Jarvis) and ''Mort''. ==Spin-off games== ===Role-playing games=== In addition Terry Pratchett co-authored with Phil Masters two role-playing game supplements for Discworld, utilising the GURPS system: * GURPS Discworld * GURPS Discworld Also An unofficial online supplement to this is: * GURPS Discworld Bye Nighte ===Computer games=== Available computer games are: * The Colour of Magic (computer game) (Sinclair Spectrum) * Discworld 1 (IBM PC compatible/Microsoft Windows) * Discworld 2: Missing Presumed...!? (Europe) / Discworld 2: Mortality Bytes! (USA) (PC/Windows) * Discworld Noir (PC/Windows, PlayStation) * Discworld MUD (Internet) ===Board games=== There is also a Discworld board game, Thud, created by puzzle compiler Trevor Truran. ===Card games=== There is an adaptation of the card game Cripple Mr. Onion from the novel Witches Abroad. ==Merchandise== Various other types of related merchandise have been produced by cottage industry with an interest in the books, including Stephen Briggs, Bernard Pearson and Clarecraft. ==Miscellaneous== It is even possible to get a character in one of the future Discworld books named after yourself. Usually people appear in the books by bidding for the privilege in charity auctions. The first one of these is Colette in ''Maskerade'', who is briefly commented on by Granny Weatherwax, referring to the interesting earrings she is wearing. This is a reference to a girl Pratchett met at a convention, who was wearing "Anorankh" earrings – small figurines of an ankh wearing an anorak. The idea has resulted from a bit of confusion on the Pratchett newsgroup, and has become an unofficial symbol for the fanclub; they are made available as merchandise. ==Stealth Philosophy== Throughout many of his novels, Pratchett employs what has been dubbed "Stealth Philosophy". That is to say, he will subtly (or not-so-subtly) hide philosophical struggles, questions, and arguments within the texts of his books, without (often) overtly stating them. Pratchett is deeply concerned about the ethics, the philosophy of religion, the philosophy of mind as well as topics related to popular science - lampooning the usual misunderstandings of things like quantum physics and relativity. His good witch, Granny Weatherwax, takes the form of an archetypical evil crone: :Mrs Earwig would definitely have objected to the cottage. It was out of storybook. The walls leaned against one another for support, the thatched roof was slipping off like a bad wig, and the chimeneys were corkscrewed. If you thought a gingerbread house would be too fattening, this was the next worst thing. :''"In a cottage deep in the forest lived the wicked old witch ..."'' :It was a cottage out of the nastier kind of fairy tale. :– ''A Hat Full of Sky'' His good public servant, Lord Vetinari, is an assassin and a tyrant. In general, he presents the notion that to be good is hard work, because to be evil is easy. :Some people will do anything for the sheer fascination of doing it, said Death. Or for fame. Or because they shouldn't. :– ''Hogfather'' In the "elf" books as elsewhere, he presents the notion that our "world" is subjective, and is constructed internally. In particular, that it is constructed out of narrative. Related to this is the idea that most of our experience is filtered out before it reaches conciousness: :''You build little worlds, little stories, little shells around your mind and that keeps infinity at bay and allows you to wake up in the morning without screaming!'' :– ''A Hat Full of Sky'' :"All right," said Susan, "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need ... ''fantasies'' to make life bearable." :No. Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape. :"Tooth faries? Hogfathers?" :Yes. As practice. You have to start out learning to believe the ''little'' lies. :"So we can believe the big ones?" :Yes. Justice. Mercy. Duty. That sort of thing. :"They're not the same at all!" :Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then ''show'' me one atom of justice. And yet you act as if there were some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged. :"Yes. But people have ''got'' to believe that or what's the ''point''—" :My point exactly. :– ''Hogfather'' A large portion of ''Carpe Jugulum'' is about internal "struggles", and how pieces of our mind do not always agree with other pieces of our mind (And how some of us feel we have "Darker" selves within us, that we keep deep, deep down). Aside from the obviously "split" mind character (Perdita and Agnes), it is shown that even characters as decisive as Granny Weatherwax have inner "selves" that they struggle with. ==See also== *Discworld characters ==External links== * [http://www.lspace.org/ The L-Space Web], possibly the definitive Discworld web site * [http://www.discworldmonthly.co.uk Discworld Monthly] (free monthly newsletter about Terry Pratchett OBE and his Discworld and other novels.) * [http://www.discworld.com/ Discworld.Com] The official Discworld website.

Yes, susan and death appear, but as side characters - the book is mainly about the history monks. User:Daveryan 06:06 19 Jun 2003 (UTC) : For me this is a Susan novel, Susan is a relative of Death, so the book can be added to the "Death" novels. If there will be more Susan novels (I am look forward to that! ;-) , then we can group it to "Susan", if the History-monks get more novels, then they could also be used as a new group. User:Fantasy 06:40 19 Jun 2003 (UTC) ::I listed it as "or arguably miscellaneous" - Susan shows at the end, yes, but none of her family do. I also wonder whether the Nac Mac Feegle books should be listed under "witches" - but I haven't read the latest of those. User:PakaranUser talk:Pakaran 23:44, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC) :::I'd say the Tiffany books are probably witch books; Hat Full Of Sky features Granny Weatherwas in a major role, and is almost as much a sequel to The Sea And Little Fishes as it is to Wee Free Men. I'd also say that Thief of Time is a "Death" novel; Susan is one of the main characters, just like she was in Hogfather and Soul Music (she's just as significant relative to Lobsang as she was relative to Buddy, IMO), and her grandfather plays a significant supporting role, just like he does in the earlier books (Reaper Man is the only one that's really ''about'' Death himself). :::On the other hand, I'd say The Last Hero is a Rincewind book, so maybe I'm to easy with the categories 8-). User:Daibhid C 23:24 24 August 2004 (UTC) ---- On a related note, could ''Moving Pictures'' be classed as a Wizards book?

There is plenty to say about the Discworld itself and I think it should be written separate from the novel/play/etc. information. User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 11:19, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) :Please see User:Violetriga/inprogress for a rough general idea (needs a lot of work so feel free to play around there). User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 11:48, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) :I think that the idea of splitting the article into two isn't a bad one, but I think that the article about the novels, etc. should be the one at Discworld. Information about the novels is of a much wider interest than the specifics about the world itself. If I were a random reader who had never before heard of Discworld, I'd be much more interested by the fact that it was a best-selling series of 30+ books and various spin offs than I would be to read about various fictional continents in a context withe very little to establish notability. :I think we should keep the "real world" elements where they are, possibly expanding to cover, for instance, sales figures, awards won, longevity, literary themes, or so on. This can establish notability to the casual reader, who can then go on to read the minutiae of the world itself at a different page -- possibly something like Discworld (world) -- if they so wish. User:Rho 12:41, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) ::Very good suggestion - I reckon we should do that. I'm thinking of merging some of the continent articles together as shown in a very rough draft User:Violetriga/inprogress and expanding it to cover different aspects of the world. User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 12:47, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) Right, this has all been done: *''Discworld'' contains all the information about the books etc. *Discworld (world) contains all the information about the world itself I think that any reference to the former should be italicised and any reference to the world shouldn't be; that will allow some form of disambig between the two. That may involve quite a bit of work and I by no means think all the Discworld articles are brought together properly quite yet - WikiProject anyone? User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 19:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC) :I'm up for it. I've found a lot of stuff that I want to change since I started poking at the discworld articles.

User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 00:12, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==Stealth Philosophy== I recently added the section on Stealth Philosophy. This is my first wikipedia entry, so I'm not certain as to how good it was... still, I felt it should be added. =) ==The Nth novel in the Discworld series== Hello. I love the series and happen to own quite a few the books, and one thing I have noticed--as I tend to read the sort of "inner blurb" or whatever you call the piece of writing next to a rather dark picture of Terry right at the beginning of the books--is that they usually say something to the effect of "Moving Pictures is the tenth novel in the phenomenally successful Discworld series". This is alright up until Nightwatch which the book says is 27th, Monstrous Regiment 28, Going Postal 29th, but the articles on wikipedia seem to differ because, as I figured out, they include the 3 Young Adult novels and the 1 Illustrated novel in the numbering scheme. Would it be possible to rather have a scheme for Discworld novels like this: Novels: 1-29... Illustrated novels: 1.. Young adult novels: 1-3... ? It is also what [http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/Terry_Pratchett.htm http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/Terry_Pratchett.htm] (and the books themselves) seem to use. --User:Ajshm 14:21, 25 May 2005 (UTC) :I wouold include the illustrated novels with the novels because of the I believe that ''Eric'' has both been released with and without illustrations. I don't think that it makes sense to make a differnce between them here. [http://www.lspace.org/books/apf/index.html L-space] puts all ''Discworld'' novels in the order they have been realesed. My personal oppinion is that we should number the books as they appear in the template – that we should count the children's novels separtly. User:Jeltz user talk:Jeltz 15:16, 25 May 2005 (UTC) About Eric, it has indeed been released first with illustrations as a "Discworld story" (?) and later without illustrations in the vain of previous books. The Last Hero has never been released without illustrations, in fact, the paperback has ''more'' illustrations than the hardcover. It's not as if I want to somehow snub TLH, it is a great and very special book. But somehow I think that something that is written ''in'' the books takes precedence "x is the nth novel in the...", or at least it would seem strange to ignore this. I have changed the template a little bit, which incidentally makes it more compact.

Discworld
The ''Discworld'' is a series of over 30 novels by Terry Pratchett set on Discworld (world). Since the first novel of the series, 1983's ''The Colour of Magic'', the series has gone from strength to strength, spawning many related works including music inspired by the series as well as cartoon and theatre adaptations. Newly released Discworld books regularly top The Sunday Times bestsellers list, with Pratchett being the United Kingdom's best selling author in the 1990s, mainly on the strength of the Discworld (he has since been overtaken by J.K. Rowling). Discworld novels have also won awards such as the Prometheus Award and the Carnegie Medal. In the BBC's Big Read, four Discworld books were in the top 100, and a total of fourteen in the top 200. ==Published work== ===The novels=== The world has been chronicled through at least 30 novels so far and several short stories. The novels prior to ''The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents'' (and almost all Terry Pratchett books to date) had cover art done by Josh Kirby (who died in October 2001), but only in the original British editions. The American editions, published by HarperCollins, do not feature Kirby's cover art. Recent British editions of Pratchett's older novels no longer feature Kirby's art. Since the death of Kirby, the covers have been designed by artist Paul Kidby. Almost all of the Discworld novels are notable for having no chapter divisions. Instead, most of the time there are different storylines interwoven with each other. ''Going Postal'' did entirely the opposite even going so far as to include a prologue and epilogue along with brief teasers of what was to come in each chapter. Many novels share the same lead characters and show their development over time. Some of the main characters of one book may also make a cameo appearance in another book where they are not the primary focus; for example Samuel Vimes appears briefly in ''Going Postal''. The novels can be grouped into several story 'arcs', with characters or themes in common: * The Rincewind stories - These stories centre around a wizard of sorts called Rincewind. The 'of sorts' is because Rincewind is a complete failure at magic, but through a series of events is recognised as a wizard (for want of any other suitable term). The other wizards at the Unseen University are sometimes seen in these stories. * The Witches (Discworld) stories - These stories centre around the witches of Lancre, particularly Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat Garlick, and later Agnes Nitt. * The Death stories - These stories centre around Death (Discworld) in his usual personification as a skeleton in black robes with a scythe. Death's companions are his granddaughter Susan Sto Helit (Discworld), his butler Albert (Discworld) and the Death of Rats, the rat equivalent of the human Death. In later novels Susan takes centre stage, although Death is still a key player. * The City Watch stories - These stories centre around Ankh-Morpork's equivalent of a police force, the City Watch. Samuel Vimes leads the city watch, and among his officers are Carrot Ironfoundersson, Angua, Sergeant Colon, Detritus and Nobby Nobbs. * The Witches (Discworld)#Tiffany Aching stories - These stories centre around the character of Tiffany Aching, a young girl who has the unusual allies of the Nac Mac Feegle. The stories are primarily written as children's books. They also tie in to the Witches stories, especially ''A Hat Full of Sky''. * The Miscellaneous stories - where none of the above five applies, or the main characters from them only appear briefly, or at least not as the main characters of the story in question. The best example of these is possibly ''Small Gods.''

The first two are available [http://www.lspace.org/books/index.html online]. The third was published in ''After The King: Stories in honour of J. R. R. Tolkien'', and the fourth in ''Legends'', edited by Robert Silverberg. In addition, all of these stories, as well as such Discworld miscelleny as the history of Thud and the Ankh-Morpork national anthem have been collected as part of a compilation of all Pratchett's shortwork, ''Once More* *With Footnotes''. ===Quiz Books=== Thus far, there are also two Discworld Quizbooks compiled by David Langford: * The Unseen University Challenge, parodying the TV quiz show ''University Challenge'' * The Wyrdest Link, parodying the TV quiz show ''The Weakest Link'' ===The Maps=== Furthermore, there are four Maps: * The Streets of Ankh-Morpork (1993) * The Discworld Mapp (1995) * A Tourist Guide to Lancre (1998) * Death's Domain (1999) The first two were drawn by Stephen Player, based on plans by Pratchett and Stephen Briggs, the third is a collaboration between Briggs and Kidby, and the last is by Paul Kidby. All also contain booklets written by Pratchett and Briggs. ===Non-fiction books=== Pratchett has also collaborated with Ian Stewart (mathematician) and Jack Cohen (scientist) on three books using the Discworld to illuminate popular science topics: * The Science of Discworld * The Science of Discworld II: The Globe * The Science of Discworld III: Darwin's Watch ===Diaries=== Most years see the release of a Discworld Diary and Calendar, both usually following a particular theme. ===Associated publications=== Other Discworldesque publications include: * ''The Discworld Portfolio'' (a collection of Paul Kidby's artwork, with notes by Pratchett) * ''The Discworld Companion'' (an encyclopedia of Discworld information, compiled by Pratchett and Briggs) * ''Nanny Ogg's Cookbook'' (a collection of Discworldly recipes, combined with ettiquette, language of flowers etc., written by Pratchett with Stephen Briggs and Tina Hannan) * ''The Art of Discworld'' (another collection of Paul Kidby's art) * ''The Ankh-Morpork Almanack'' (an almanac for the Discworld year, in the style of the Diaries and the Cookbook, written by Pratchett with Bernard Pearson) ==Adaptations== ===Stage adaptations=== Stage adaptations of nine Discworld novels have been published, with proceeds from the rights going to charity. The adaptations are by Stephen Briggs, and were first produced by the Studio Theatre Club in Abingdon, England, Oxfordshire. They include adaptations of ''The Truth'', ''Maskerade'', ''Mort'', ''Wyrd Sisters'', and ''Guards! Guards!''. Stage adaptions of Discworld novels have been performed on every continent in the world, including Antarctica. ===Movie adaptations=== There have been several aborted attempts at bringing stories from the Discworld to the silver screen, including a fan attempt of ''Maskerade'' that inevitably failed through lack of funds. Australian group ''Snowgum Films'' have completed principal photography on the short story ''Troll Bridge (movie)''. A link to their website can be found below. A fan movie adaptation of ''Lords and Ladies (novel)'' is currently being produced in Germany. ===Animated adaptations=== Animated adaptations of ''Soul Music'' and ''Wyrd Sisters'' were produced by Cosgrove-Hall Productions for Channel 4 in 1996. These are available on DVD and VHS in the US from Acorn Media. The soundtrack to ''Soul Music'' was also released on CD. ===Radio adaptations=== There have been several BBC radio adaptations of Discworld stories, including versions of ''Wyrd Sisters'', ''Guards! Guards!'' (narrated by Martin Jarvis) and ''Mort''. ==Spin-off games== ===Role-playing games=== In addition Terry Pratchett co-authored with Phil Masters two role-playing game supplements for Discworld, utilising the GURPS system: * GURPS Discworld * GURPS Discworld Also An unofficial online supplement to this is: * GURPS Discworld Bye Nighte ===Computer games=== Available computer games are: * The Colour of Magic (computer game) (Sinclair Spectrum) * Discworld 1 (IBM PC compatible/Microsoft Windows) * Discworld 2: Missing Presumed...!? (Europe) / Discworld 2: Mortality Bytes! (USA) (PC/Windows) * Discworld Noir (PC/Windows, PlayStation) * Discworld MUD (Internet) ===Board games=== There is also a Discworld board game, Thud, created by puzzle compiler Trevor Truran. ===Card games=== There is an adaptation of the card game Cripple Mr. Onion from the novel Witches Abroad. ==Merchandise== Various other types of related merchandise have been produced by cottage industry with an interest in the books, including Stephen Briggs, Bernard Pearson and Clarecraft. ==Miscellaneous== It is even possible to get a character in one of the future Discworld books named after yourself. Usually people appear in the books by bidding for the privilege in charity auctions. The first one of these is Colette in ''Maskerade'', who is briefly commented on by Granny Weatherwax, referring to the interesting earrings she is wearing. This is a reference to a girl Pratchett met at a convention, who was wearing "Anorankh" earrings – small figurines of an ankh wearing an anorak. The idea has resulted from a bit of confusion on the Pratchett newsgroup, and has become an unofficial symbol for the fanclub; they are made available as merchandise. ==Stealth Philosophy== Throughout many of his novels, Pratchett employs what has been dubbed "Stealth Philosophy". That is to say, he will subtly (or not-so-subtly) hide philosophical struggles, questions, and arguments within the texts of his books, without (often) overtly stating them. Pratchett is deeply concerned about the ethics, the philosophy of religion, the philosophy of mind as well as topics related to popular science - lampooning the usual misunderstandings of things like quantum physics and relativity. His good witch, Granny Weatherwax, takes the form of an archetypical evil crone: :Mrs Earwig would definitely have objected to the cottage. It was out of storybook. The walls leaned against one another for support, the thatched roof was slipping off like a bad wig, and the chimeneys were corkscrewed. If you thought a gingerbread house would be too fattening, this was the next worst thing. :''"In a cottage deep in the forest lived the wicked old witch ..."'' :It was a cottage out of the nastier kind of fairy tale. :– ''A Hat Full of Sky'' His good public servant, Lord Vetinari, is an assassin and a tyrant. In general, he presents the notion that to be good is hard work, because to be evil is easy. :Some people will do anything for the sheer fascination of doing it, said Death. Or for fame. Or because they shouldn't. :– ''Hogfather'' In the "elf" books as elsewhere, he presents the notion that our "world" is subjective, and is constructed internally. In particular, that it is constructed out of narrative. Related to this is the idea that most of our experience is filtered out before it reaches conciousness: :''You build little worlds, little stories, little shells around your mind and that keeps infinity at bay and allows you to wake up in the morning without screaming!'' :– ''A Hat Full of Sky'' :"All right," said Susan, "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need ... ''fantasies'' to make life bearable." :No. Humans need fantasy to be human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape. :"Tooth faries? Hogfathers?" :Yes. As practice. You have to start out learning to believe the ''little'' lies. :"So we can believe the big ones?" :Yes. Justice. Mercy. Duty. That sort of thing. :"They're not the same at all!" :Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then ''show'' me one atom of justice. And yet you act as if there were some sort of rightness in the universe by which it may be judged. :"Yes. But people have ''got'' to believe that or what's the ''point''—" :My point exactly. :– ''Hogfather'' A large portion of ''Carpe Jugulum'' is about internal "struggles", and how pieces of our mind do not always agree with other pieces of our mind (And how some of us feel we have "Darker" selves within us, that we keep deep, deep down). Aside from the obviously "split" mind character (Perdita and Agnes), it is shown that even characters as decisive as Granny Weatherwax have inner "selves" that they struggle with. ==See also== *Discworld characters ==External links== * [http://www.lspace.org/ The L-Space Web], possibly the definitive Discworld web site * [http://www.discworldmonthly.co.uk Discworld Monthly] (free monthly newsletter about Terry Pratchett OBE and his Discworld and other novels.) * [http://www.discworld.com/ Discworld.Com] The official Discworld website.

Discworld
Discworld is similar to :Middle Earth as it is a creation by a single author. But unlike Discworld is linked off :Terry Pratchett, Middle Earth is not linked off :JRR Tolkien. This will be a moot point anyway once subpages no longer exist. -- Ap Anyone planning to write pages for individual books? I'd do it except, uh, I don't want to. :). user:AdamWill :I have written a few and plan to do more (I've just read the whole series). I also plan to rewrite the main page a bit and do more on the characters and such. -- User:Pocopoco 10:48 22 Jul 2003 (UTC) ---- no point in making the title longer: does anything else need to be at "Discworld"?. And don't do "cut&paste" moves, please (see the FAQ for more) -- User:Tarquin 22:02 Dec 21, 2002 (UTC) ==Classification== Is ''Thief of Time'' a Death novel? Yes, susan and death appear, but as side characters - the book is mainly about the history monks. User:Daveryan 06:06 19 Jun 2003 (UTC) : For me this is a Susan novel, Susan is a relative of Death, so the book can be added to the "Death" novels. If there will be more Susan novels (I am look forward to that! ;-) , then we can group it to "Susan", if the History-monks get more novels, then they could also be used as a new group. User:Fantasy 06:40 19 Jun 2003 (UTC) ::I listed it as "or arguably miscellaneous" - Susan shows at the end, yes, but none of her family do. I also wonder whether the Nac Mac Feegle books should be listed under "witches" - but I haven't read the latest of those. User:PakaranUser talk:Pakaran 23:44, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC) :::I'd say the Tiffany books are probably witch books; Hat Full Of Sky features Granny Weatherwas in a major role, and is almost as much a sequel to The Sea And Little Fishes as it is to Wee Free Men. I'd also say that Thief of Time is a "Death" novel; Susan is one of the main characters, just like she was in Hogfather and Soul Music (she's just as significant relative to Lobsang as she was relative to Buddy, IMO), and her grandfather plays a significant supporting role, just like he does in the earlier books (Reaper Man is the only one that's really ''about'' Death himself). :::On the other hand, I'd say The Last Hero is a Rincewind book, so maybe I'm to easy with the categories 8-). User:Daibhid C 23:24 24 August 2004 (UTC) ---- On a related note, could ''Moving Pictures'' be classed as a Wizards book? It does introduce the personalities of most of the figures who are prominent through the rest of that group. -User:Finn-Zoltan 00:12, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC) ===Children's books=== I hotly dispute the claim that A Hat Full of Sky is a childrens' book. To be fair, though, I just finished it and haven't come down from whatever's the literature equivalent of being high yet. -- User:Kizor 22:45, 9 May 2004 (UTC) : To quote the author (during a discussion yesterday on the use of chapters in the new book... "''A Hat Full Of Sky is a children's book, just like The Wee Free Men, Truckers and the Johnny Maxwell series''". Sorry! --User:Danhuby 11:11, 11 May 2004 (UTC) ::Righto. --User:Kizor 15:49, 11 May 2004 (UTC) ==help, please== There's a query at Talk:Great A'Tuin in re H-R diagrams. Can anyone help with this? :It's been answered now. --User:Paul A 06:46, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC) == The Last Hero: mass market edition? == Does anyone know if there are plans to release ''The Last Hero'' in a mass-market paperback format (i.e. normal sized paperback)? --User:Phil Boswell | User talk:Phil Boswell 10:52, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC) ==List of Novels== I've added a couple of possible future novels talked about in 'The Art of Discworld' to the list of novels - maybe it might be better to put these into a [new] future novels section. --User:NeilTarrant 20:50, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Change focus of this article == I think that it might be best to change to focus of this article to the Discworld itself, taking out all the novels (and related work) information to something like Discworld publications and works (been trying to think of a decent title for ages!). There is plenty to say about the Discworld itself and I think it should be written separate from the novel/play/etc. information. User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 11:19, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) :Please see User:Violetriga/inprogress for a rough general idea (needs a lot of work so feel free to play around there). User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 11:48, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) :I think that the idea of splitting the article into two isn't a bad one, but I think that the article about the novels, etc. should be the one at Discworld. Information about the novels is of a much wider interest than the specifics about the world itself. If I were a random reader who had never before heard of Discworld, I'd be much more interested by the fact that it was a best-selling series of 30+ books and various spin offs than I would be to read about various fictional continents in a context withe very little to establish notability. :I think we should keep the "real world" elements where they are, possibly expanding to cover, for instance, sales figures, awards won, longevity, literary themes, or so on. This can establish notability to the casual reader, who can then go on to read the minutiae of the world itself at a different page -- possibly something like Discworld (world) -- if they so wish. User:Rho 12:41, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) ::Very good suggestion - I reckon we should do that. I'm thinking of merging some of the continent articles together as shown in a very rough draft User:Violetriga/inprogress and expanding it to cover different aspects of the world. User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 12:47, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC) Right, this has all been done: *''Discworld'' contains all the information about the books etc. *Discworld (world) contains all the information about the world itself I think that any reference to the former should be italicised and any reference to the world shouldn't be; that will allow some form of disambig between the two. That may involve quite a bit of work and I by no means think all the Discworld articles are brought together properly quite yet - WikiProject anyone? User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 19:42, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC) :I'm up for it. I've found a lot of stuff that I want to change since I started poking at the discworld articles. User:Rho 01:51, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC) == WikiProject == There is now a WikiProject for the Discworld articles – please lend your support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Discworld. User:Violetriga User_talk:violetriga 00:12, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC) ==Stealth Philosophy== I recently added the section on Stealth Philosophy. This is my first wikipedia entry, so I'm not certain as to how good it was... still, I felt it should be added. =) ==The Nth novel in the Discworld series== Hello. I love the series and happen to own quite a few the books, and one thing I have noticed--as I tend to read the sort of "inner blurb" or whatever you call the piece of writing next to a rather dark picture of Terry right at the beginning of the books--is that they usually say something to the effect of "Moving Pictures is the tenth novel in the phenomenally successful Discworld series". This is alright up until Nightwatch which the book says is 27th, Monstrous Regiment 28, Going Postal 29th, but the articles on wikipedia seem to differ because, as I figured out, they include the 3 Young Adult novels and the 1 Illustrated novel in the numbering scheme. Would it be possible to rather have a scheme for Discworld novels like this: Novels: 1-29... Illustrated novels: 1.. Young adult novels: 1-3... ? It is also what [http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/Terry_Pratchett.htm http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/Terry_Pratchett.htm] (and the books themselves) seem to use. --User:Ajshm 14:21, 25 May 2005 (UTC) :I wouold include the illustrated novels with the novels because of the I believe that ''Eric'' has both been released with and without illustrations. I don't think that it makes sense to make a differnce between them here. [http://www.lspace.org/books/apf/index.html L-space] puts all ''Discworld'' novels in the order they have been realesed. My personal oppinion is that we should number the books as they appear in the template – that we should count the children's novels separtly. User:Jeltz user talk:Jeltz 15:16, 25 May 2005 (UTC) About Eric, it has indeed been released first with illustrations as a "Discworld story" (?) and later without illustrations in the vain of previous books. The Last Hero has never been released without illustrations, in fact, the paperback has ''more'' illustrations than the hardcover. It's not as if I want to somehow snub TLH, it is a great and very special book. But somehow I think that something that is written ''in'' the books takes precedence "x is the nth novel in the...", or at least it would seem strange to ignore this. I have changed the template a little bit, which incidentally makes it more compact. All Discworld novels (Discworld themed novels by Pratchett) are under the Novels: heading, not separating YA Novels, they are a "sub-list" along with the illustrated novel TLH. --User:Ajshm 16:05, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
