Őrség! Őrség!
Ez az a hely, ahová a sárkányok távoztak.
Csak hevernek itt, és... nem holtak, nem is álmodnak, csupán... szunnyadnak. És noha a tér, amelyet elfoglalnak, nem közönséges tér, ettől még alaposan összezsúfolódtak benne. Akár szardíniákhoz is hasonlíthatnánk őket, már amennyiben elfogadjuk, hogy létezhetnek ilyen óriási, pikkelyes, gőgös és arrogáns szardíniák.
És feltehetően létezik valahol egy konzervnyitó.
Az Őrség! Őrség! a nyolcadik a Korongvilág-regények sorában - ám ez után a könyv után már sosem leszünk képesek ugyanúgy nézni a sárkányokra!

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...

Discworld Diary 2015: We R Igors
One part diary, one part guide to the arcane practices of the funniest creation in modern fantasy, 100% Discworld goodness. With their trademark mix of cultural ephemera, background detail and hilarious one-liners, the Discworld diaries are back. And what better way to start than with the unsung heroes of the Discworld? Without these stoic, selfless heroes, the movers and shakers of the Discworld would not move and shake nearly as much. While the Great and Good of Ankh-Morpork take the headlines, these quietly competent minions toil away in the background doing all of the actual work. They all hail from the same clan, which originates in the farflung region of Uberwald, and no self-respecting mad scientist would be seen dead (or, for that matter, undead) with them. They are, of course, the Igors, and we're confident this behind-the-scenes look at their day-to-day life will have you in ...ahem ...stitches.

Fantasztikus Maurícius és az ő tanult rágcsálói
Ebben a világban patkány patkánynak farkasa...
A Korongvilág minden városában ismerik a patkányokról és patkányfuvolásokról szóló történeteket. Maurícius - a sokat látott, dörzsölt vén kandúr - egy jól képzett patkányokból (és egy ostoba küllemű kölyökből) álló csapatot vezet egy jövedelmező kis turnéra. Egy furulyás és pár patkány rengeteg pénzt tud együtt keresni.
Mármint addig, amíg össze nem futnak valakivel, aki alaposan elhúzza a nótájukat.
Úgyhogy most neki és a patkányainak meg kell tanulniuk egy számukra eddig idegen szót: azt, hogy gonosz...
A Carnegie-medál nyertese.

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.

Soul Music
OTHER CHILDREN GET GIVEN XYLOPHONES. SUSAN JUST HAD TO ASK HER GRANDFATHER TO TAKE HIS VEST OFF. Yes. There's a Death in the family. It's hard to grow up normally when Grandfather rides a white horse and wields a scythe - especially when you have to take over the family business, and everyone mistakes you for the Tooth Fairy. And especially when you have to face the new and addictive music that has entered Discworld. It's lawless. It changes people. It's called Music With Rocks In. It's got a beat and you can dance to it, but...It's alive. And it won't fade away.
Hogfather
IT'S THE NIGHT BEFORE HOGSWATCH AND IT'S TOO QUIET. Where is the big jolly fat man? Why is Death creeping down chimneys and trying to say Ho Ho Ho? The darkest night of the year is getting a lot darker...Susan the gothic governess has got to sort it out by morning, otherwise there won't be a morning. Ever again...The 20th Discworld novel is a festive feast of darkness and Death (but with jolly robins and tinsel too). As they say: You'd better watch out...
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.

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.
