Book 1. The Colour of Magic

The Colour of Magic is the first novel in the Disco World series by the master of intellectual fantasy Terry Pratchett. Written in the 1980s, the novel parodies the clichés of the science fiction of the time and lays the foundations of Pratchett's unique style, which in later works will manifest itself as a sophisticated, sharp satire.

The novel opens one of the series' cycles - «Rincewind» and is a kind of key-hint to many phenomena of the Discworld. The route of the tourist Dvortsvit and his guide Rynsvind, a failed wizard, draws a kind of map of a diverse, vague world with mythical creatures, amazing plants, mysterious charms and special magic. What colour is this magic, is the world really flat, is it possible to change your fate and escape from Death if you are just a board game piece and the bets are already placed?

Book 2. Mort

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, in the end, simply 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 household 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 hobbies can not only interfere with his work, but also threaten the integrity of the universe.

Book 3. The Truth

The Truth is one of the most striking out-of-cycle works in the Discworld series by the master of humorous fantasy novels Terry Pratchett. The fine line between facts and rumours, jokes and allusions reliably weave the Truth into modern realities and create a masterful satire of the information sphere and society in general. A special, intellectual and at the same time simple philosophy, unexpected stylistic techniques, hints of classical works and pop culture phenomena guarantee reading pleasure.

Dive into the dizzying adventures of William de Ward, the founder of the Discworld's first newspaper, the Anchormork Times. De Ward will have to experiment, fight a rival tabloid and its fabrications, make powerful enemies, and create the first journalistic standards.

Book 4. The Prophetic Sisters

«Prophetic Sisters» — is the second novel of the «Witches» cycle in the «Disco World» series. In this witty story, Terry Pratchett continues what he started in The Right to Witch and tells the story of witches in a world where only men can be wizards. He gracefully weaves Shakespearean allusions into the realities of the Discworld and demonstrates that neither fate nor heredity will prevent you from choosing your life's work.

Something is wrong in the Kingdom of Lancre: the insidious Duke and Duchess are scheming, the heir to the throne is far from home, and even nature itself is against the new ruler, who is indifferent to the fate of the land. So the three witches - the determined and irrepressible Granny Rainbow, the down-to-earth and rude Aunt Ogg, and the romantic and naive Magrat Garlic - rush to the rescue. Because although witches usually don't interfere in politics, their support (and, of course, a little magic) is indispensable here.

Book 5. The Right to Magic

Written in a subtle satirical manner, The Right to Magic is an attempt by Terry Pratchett, known for his intellectual puzzles, to shake the typical fantasy division of magic into high masculine and low feminine. It is also a kind of manifesto of equal rights - everyone in the Discworld has the right to create true magic.

They say that the eighth son of the eighth son can become a true wizard, but what if the eighth child is a girl? The blacksmith's daughter Eskarina is unexpectedly destined to become the first wizard in the Discworld. Now she will have to learn to control her power and storm the walls of the Invisible Academy for Wizards, where girls have never studied before.

Book 6. The Bizarre Radiance

«The Bizarre Radiance» is the second novel in the Discworld series, which continues the adventures of the failed wizard Rincewind and the first tourist on the Disc, Twoflower, which began in The Colour of Magic. An ominous red star threatens to destroy the Discworld. The friends have no idea that it is Rincewind, who is not good at magic, who will have to save the Disc from disaster. Along the way, they meet talking trees, a gingerbread house, programmer druids, horse-drawn barbarians, trolls, monsters from other dimensions, a magical travelling shop, and most importantly, fate gives them a meeting with the legendary hero of Discworld!

Terry Pratchett once again breaks the stereotype that heroes can only be handsome men in seductive leather clothes. And she shows that magic can completely ruin someone's life, or it can give them a new one.

Book 7. The Reaper

«The Reaper» is the second novel of the sub-cycle «Death» of the «Discworld» series, in which Terry Pratchett reflects on human morality with unchanging humour and aptly notices the flaws and weaknesses of people.

In Ankh-Morpork, a one hundred and thirty-year-old wizard of the Invisible Academy dies. But not everything is so simple. The magical soul has to return to its body, and all because Death does not come for it! It turns out that the Reaper of Souls has been suspended from his duties; Death is confused, because now he has become a mortal and received his own Time, so he goes to the world of the living to spend it. Now the Reaper will work with his scythe somewhere else, for example, on a farm, and will be able to better experience the world of ordinary mortals.

Meanwhile, everything on the Disc is going to hell - the life force is overwhelming it: the dead comes to life, the living does not die, and this energy of life spills out wherever it can. It is necessary to restore the discworld balance as soon as possible!

Book 8. The Wizards

«Wizards» — is the third novel of the «Rincewind» sub-cycle from the «Discworld» series by Terry Pratchett.

Once upon a time, there was an eighth son of the eighth son and he was, as it was customary in the Discworld, a wizard. Surprisingly, he also had eight sons, and the youngest, Coyne, a wizard in a square, was destined to become a source of magic, a wizard. Thanks to this young boy, the old magic of the Discworld, which had been gradually weathering, has now been revived and gained unprecedented power. However, unhealthy magical ambitions and the dictatorship of magic can be dangerous and even destructive, threatening the integrity of the universe. To save the world and confront the super-powerful wizard Coyne, the failed wizard Rincewind, along with the skilful heroine Konina and the enthusiastic hero Nigel, undertakes to save the world. And the desperate people will be helped by the hat of the archbishop, who over the years of communication with prominent wizards has become a separate, and I must say charismatic, personality.
