Navyše prichádza človek - ničiteľ, takže udatní drobci musia znovu bojovať o holý život.
Last Continent
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel
'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.'
There's nothing like the issue of evolution to get under the skin of academics. Even if their field of expertise is magic rather than biology. With the best and most interfering minds of Unseen University somehow left in charge at a critical evolutionary turning point, the Discworld’s last continent needs a saviour…
Who is this hero striding across the red desert? Sheep shearer, beer drinker, bush ranger, and someone who'll even eat a Meat Pie Floater when he's sober.
In fact, it's Rincewind, a wizard so inept he can't even spell wizard. He's the only hero left.
Still...no worries, eh?
The Truth
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel
William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld's first newspaper. New printing technology means that words just won't obediently stay nailed down like usual. There's a very real threat of news getting out there.
Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist's life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped potatoes.
William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it's only the third edition...
Carpe Jugulum - (Discworld Novel 23)
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel In this and indeed other lives there are givers and takers. It's safe to say that vampires are very much in the latter camp. They don't have much time for the givers of this world - except perhaps mealtimes - and even less for priests. Mightily Oats has not picked a good time to be a priest. Lancre's newest residents are a thoroughly modern, sophisticated vampire family. They've got style and fancy waistcoats. They're out of the casket and want a bite of the future. But they haven't met the neighbours yet: between them and Lancre stand Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg. And Magrat, who is trying to combine witchcraft and nappies. And young Agnes, although she is really in two minds about everything. Mightily Oats knows he has a prayer, but he wishes he had an axe.
The Fifth Elephant - (Discworld Novel 24)
A beautiful hardback edition of the classic Discworld novel They say that diplomacy is a gentle art. That mastering it is a lifetime's work. But you do need a certain inclination in that direction. It's not something you can just pick up on the job. A few days ago Sam Vimes was a copper - an important copper, true - chief of police - but still, at his core, a policeman. But today he is an ambassador - to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Today, Sam Vimes is also a man on the run. He has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the forest to civilization there's going to be a terrible war. There are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves - and they're catching up.
The Witch's Vacuum Cleaner
Poor Mr Swimble is having a bad day. Rabbits are bouncing out of his hat, pigeons are flying out of his jacket and every time he points his finger, something magically appears - cheese sandwiches, socks ...even a small yellow elephant on wheels! It's becoming a real nuisance - and he's allergic to rabbits. His friends at the Magic Rectangle can't help, but the mysterious vacuum cleaner he saw that morning may have something to do with it ...Fourteen fantastically funny stories from master storyteller Sir Terry Pratchett, full of food fights, pirates, wizards and crooks! "Arresting stuff! So funny it's criminal!". (PC Gorsebush Jones).
Small Gods - A Discworld Graphic Novel
"Just because you can't explain it, doesn't mean it's a miracle." In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: 'Hey, you!' This is the Discworld, after all, and religion is a controversial business. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top. In such a competitive environment, it's certainly not helpful to be reduced to appearing in the form of a tortoise, a manifestation far below god-like status in anyone's book. In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast: for the Great God Om, Brutha the novice is the Chosen One - or at least the only One available. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please...Now adapted into graphic novel form with new artwork by Ray Friesen.

As the fairy horde prepares for invasion, Tiffany must summon all the witches to stand with her. To protect the land. Her land. There will be a reckoning...This is the Final Discworld Novel.

Lobsang now understands the enormity of what's taking place beneath the surface of his earth - a threat to all the worlds of the Long Earth. To counter this threat will require the combined efforts of humankind, machine and the super-intelligent Next. And some must make the ultimate sacrifice...

A Halálnak meg kell történnie. Erről szól az egész élet. Az ember él, utána meg meghal. Ez nem maradhat csak úgy egyszerűen abba.
A Halál eltűnt feltételezhetően, izé eltávozott. És ez ahhoz a fajta káoszhoz vezet, amely mindig bekövetkezik, ha egy fontos közszolgáltatás átmenetileg szünetel.
Mindeközben egy messzi-messzi kis farmon egy magas, sötét idegen elképesztő tehetségről tesz tanúbizonyságot a kaszálás terén. A termést is le kell aratnia valakinek.
Discworld Atlas
Unseen University are proud to present the most comprehensive map and guide to the Disc yet produced. In this noble endeavour, drawing upon the hard won knowledge of many great and, inevitably, late explorers, one may locate on a detailed plan of our world such fabled realms as the Condiment Isles, trace the course of the River Kneck as it deposits silt and border disputes in equal abundance on the lands either side, and contemplate the vast deserts of Klatch and Howondaland - a salutary lesson in the perils of allowing ones goats to graze unchecked. This stunning work brings to life the lands and locations of the Discworld stories in a way never seen before. Accompanied by lavish full-colour illustrations and a detailed world map, this is a must-have for any Discworld fan.
Carpe Jugulum Pátý Elefant
Již dvanáctá dvojkniha příběhů z Úžasné Zeměplochy s ilustracemi Paula Kidbyho.
Soudný den
Čtvrtá kniha ze série Věda na Zeměploše se tentokrát vypořádává s OPRAVDU ZÁVAŽNÝMI OTÁZKAMI! Toto je nový brilantní zeměplošský příběh Terryho Pratchetta Soudný den, s opravdu velkými poznámkami (formou prokládaných kapitol) matematika Iana Stewarta a biologa Jacka Cohena, přinášejícími spletitou kombinaci fikce, špičkové vědy a filozofie.
Marjorie Dawe je knihovnice a bere svoji práci - a samozřejmě pravdivost slov - velmi vážně. Ona o tom neví, ale její a náš svět - Zemneplocha - je ve velkých problémech. Na Zeměploše se totiž schyluje ke kolosální potyčce.
Mágové Neviditelné Univerzity se cítí za Zemneplochu zodpovědni (asi jako za svého pískomila). Konec konců ji stvořili zfušováním jednoho kvantového Thaumo-dynamického pokusu. Ale Omnijci na ně podávají žalobu a tvrdí, že mágové hraním na bohy zesměšňují jejich vznešené náboženství.
Když se nejlepší právnické mozky na Zeměploše (zombie a kněz) připravují na bitvu - a bylo zatáhnuto za velkou červenou páku v budově Silnoproudé magie - Marjorie Dawe je vržena skrz mnohovesmír přímo doprostřed celé té ožehavé aféry. Zatímco naše trojice zkoumá Boha, Vesmír a popravdě i všechno ostatní, můžete očekávat slony nesoucí svět, kvantovou gravitaci v teoretickém modelu Escher-verse, evoluční design, věčné rozpínání, temnou hmotu, systémy nevíry - a zevrubnou studii, jak vymyslet lepší past na myši.

Dragons at Crumbling Castle
Focus on a planet revolving in space ...Focus in on a small country in the northern hemisphere - Great Britain. Closer, closer ...and on the western edge of London you can see the county of Buckinghamshire. Small villages and winding country roads. And if you could go back in time to the mid nineteen-sixties, you might spot a young lad on a motorbike coming down one such lane, notebook and pen in his jacket pocket. This is me. A junior reporter for the Bucks Free Press, where I began writing stories for young readers that were published every week in the newspaper. The stories in this collection are a selection of those. There are wizards and mayors, carpet people and a monster in a lake, along with plenty of pointy hats. And some of these stories even spawned my later novels. The deluxe slipcase edition is fully illustrated and includes: special foreword by Terry Pratchett; two bonus stories; critical commentaries to accompany each story; limited-edition colour print; and, additional content.
