Vadkanapó
Disznólesés előestéje van. Csendes éj. Túl csendes.
Hol lehet Vadkanapó, a vidám, pufók, nagyszakállú öregúr? Miért mászik le a Halál a kéményeken, lelkesen próbálkozva a ho-ho-hóval? Az év legsötétebb éjszakája egyre sötétebbé válik...
Zsuzsának, a rendhagyó nevelőnőnek meg kell oldania a helyzetet hajnalhasadtáig, különben nem lesz reggel.
Soha többé...
A huszadik Korongvilág-regény a sötétség és a Halál nagyszabású fesztiválja (de vannak benne cuki vörösbegyek és flitterek is).
Ahogy a dal is mondja: jöjj el hozzánk, várunk(?) rád(?!)...

Az igazság
Vilmos csupán az igazságot szeretné megragadni. Sajnálatos módon mindenki más meg őt. És ez még csak a harmadik kiadás...
Szavasshy Vilmos szándékán kívül a Korongvilág első újságjának szerkesztőjévé válik, és immár meg kell birkóznia a hírlapírókra váró hagyományos kihívásokkal: ismeretlenekkel, akik az életére törnek; egy leszokóban lévő vámpírral, akit öngyilkos vonzódás fűz a villanófényes fényképezéshez; néhány egyéb személlyel, akik más módon kívánják őt holtan látni - és a talán legrosszabbal: a férfival, aki folyvást azért zaklatja, hogy közölje a kertjében termő, vicces alakú zöldségek képeit.

Ettől kezdve mindenki, aki számít valakinek, őt akarja elkapni.

A Blink of the Screen
In the four decades since his first book appeared in print, Terry Pratchett has become one of the world's best-selling and best-loved authors. Here for the first time are his short stories and other short form fiction collected into one volume. A "Blink of the Screen" charts the course of Pratchett's long writing career: from his schooldays through to his first writing job on the Bucks Free Press,; to the origins of his debut novel, "The Carpet People"; and on again to the dizzy mastery of the phenomenally successful "Discworld" series. Here are characters both familiar and yet to be discovered; abandoned worlds and others still expanding; adventure, chickens, death, disco and, actually, some quite disturbing ideas about Christmas,all of it shot through with his inimitable brand of humour. With an introduction by Booker Prize-winning author A.S. Byatt, illustrations by the late Josh Kirby and drawings by the author himself, this is a book to treasure.

Dlouhá Země
Obvykle, když neměl co na práci, naslouchal Tichu. Tady bylo Ticho velmi slabé. Téměř se ztrácelo ve zvucích obyčejného světa. Chápali vůbec lidé v téhle naleštěné budově, jak jsou hluční? Řev klimatizace a počítačových větráků, slyšitelné, ale nesrozumitelné mumlání mnoha hlasů... tohle byla kancelář TransZemského Institutu, což byla paže Černé Společnosti. Anonymní kanceláři, která byla samý sádrokarton a chrom, dominovalo obrovské logo firmy, šachový kůň. Tohle nebyl Jošuův svět. Nic z toho nebylo z jeho světa. Kdybychom šli skutečně ke kořenům věci, on vlastně ani žádný svět neměl, měl je všechny. Celou Dlouhou Zemi.

Raising Steam
To the consternation of the patrician, Lord Vetinari, a new invention has arrived in Ankh-Morpork - a great clanging monster of a machine that harnesses the power of all of the elements: earth, air, fire and water. This being Ankh-Morpork, it's soon drawing astonished crowds, some of whom caught the zeitgeist early and arrive armed with notepads and very sensible rainwear. Moist von Lipwig is not a man who enjoys hard work - as master of the Post Office, the Mint and the Royal Bank his input is, of course, vital...but largely dependent on words, which are fortunately not very heavy and don't always need greasing. However, he does enjoy being alive, which makes a new job offer from Vetinari hard to refuse...Steam is rising over Discworld, driven by Mister Simnel, the man wi' t'flat cap and sliding rule who has an interesting arrangement with the sine and cosine. Moist will have to grapple with gallons of grease, goblins, a fat controller with a history of throwing employees down the stairs and some very angry dwarfs if he's going to stop it all going off the rails...

Mort
A Halál előbb-utóbb mindenkiért eljön a Korongvilágon. És Mortért egy olyan ajánlattal jön el, amelyet a fiatalember nem utasíthat vissza. (Szó szerint nem utasíthatja vissza, mert a meghalás nem feltétele az alkunak). Igazából egy meglehetősen jó ajánlatról van szó. Mortnak a Halál inasaként ingyen szállás és ellátás jár. Használhatja a céges lovat. És egyáltalán nem kell majd szabadságot kivennie a családtagok temetésére. De az ifjú Mort az egyértelmű előnyök ellenére szép lassan felfedezi, hogy komoly hátulütői is vannak annak, ha az ember a Kaszásnak dolgozik... mert a tökéletes állás könnyen az ember szerelmi életének gyilkosává válhat.

The Science of Discworld IV
The fourth book in the Science of Discworld series, and this time around dealing with THE REALLY BIG QUESTIONS, Terry Pratchett's brilliant new Discworld story Judgement Day is annotated with very big footnotes (the interleaving chapters) by mathematician Ian Stewart and biologist Jack Cohen, to bring you a mind-mangling combination of fiction, cutting-edge science and philosophy. Marjorie Daw is a librarian, and takes her job - and indeed the truth of words - very seriously. She doesn't know it, but her world and ours - Roundworld - is in big trouble. On Discworld, a colossal row is brewing. The Wizards of Unseen University feel responsible for Roundworld (as one would for a pet gerbil). After all, they brought it into existence by bungling an experiment in Quantum ThaumoDynamics. But legal action is being brought against them by Omnians, who say that the Wizards' god-like actions make a mockery of their noble religion. As the finest legal brains in Discworld (a zombie and a priest) gird their loins to do battle - and when the Great Big Thing in the High Energy Magic Laboratory is switched on - Marjorie Daw finds herself thrown across the multiverse and right in the middle of the whole explosive affair. As God, the Universe and, frankly, Everything Else is investigated by the trio, you can expect world-bearing elephants, quantum gravity in the Escher-verse, evolutionary design, eternal inflation, dark matter, disbelief systems - and an in-depth study of how to invent a better mousetrap.
