This is an automatically translated description

The novel Mort opens the cycle of the Disco World series, in which the main character is Death. But this doesn't mean that the book is scary, because in Terry Pratchett's world, Death fishes, philosophises, loves kittens and delicious food, dreams of a holiday, and finally just does his job: he takes souls to another world. Thoughts of rest prompt Death to choose a village boy, Mort, as his apprentice.

Will the clumsy and not very capable of managing the farm Mort cope with the tasks on the other side of life and will he be able to master Death's difficult profession? Such an apprenticeship promises the boy career growth, improved image, broadening of horizons and numerous business trips. However, Mort's compassion and romantic interests can not only interfere with his work, but also threaten the integrity of the universe.
