Description
Enter the Discworld - Terry Pratchett - 5 Books Box Set
Step onto the Discworld with this five-book Terry Pratchett collection, bringing together five unforgettable novels from different corners of one of fantasy literature's most inventive universes.
The collection includes:
- The Colour of Magic
- Equal Rites
- Mort
- Guards! Guards!
- Going Postal
The Colour of Magic introduces readers to the Discworld through Rincewind, an exceptionally unsuccessful wizard who finds himself responsible for Twoflower, the world's first tourist. Their journey across the Disc becomes a chaotic adventure involving magic, danger and some very unusual geography.
In Equal Rites, young Eskarina Smith unexpectedly inherits a wizard's staff and discovers that the established magical world has very definite ideas about who should – and should not – become a wizard. With Granny Weatherwax involved, those ideas are unlikely to remain unchallenged.
Mort introduces one of Discworld's most iconic characters: Death. When Mort becomes Death's apprentice, what initially seems like an unusual but promising career soon becomes much more complicated.
Guards! Guards! moves into the streets of Ankh-Morpork, where Captain Sam Vimes and the dysfunctional City Watch must deal with a dragon, a secret conspiracy and a city that rarely makes their jobs easy.
Finally, Going Postal follows con artist Moist von Lipwig, who is given a simple choice: face execution or take responsibility for rebuilding Ankh-Morpork's failing postal service. Naturally, the second option turns out to be considerably more dangerous than expected.
Together, these five novels introduce several of Discworld's most famous characters and storylines while showcasing Terry Pratchett's distinctive combination of fantasy, comedy, satire and sharp observations about society.
Each story can be enjoyed independently, making this collection an excellent introduction to the wider Discworld universe as well as a great selection for established fans.
