Terry Pratchett

In a flat world held by four impassible elephants - which are based on the back of a giant turtle - there inhabit the strafalary characters of this novel: an avarous and clumsy sorcerer, a naive tourist whose fierce baggage follows everywhere held by hundreds of ducks, dragons that exist only if believed in them, guilds of thieves and killers, magic swords, death and, of course, an extensive catalogue of magicians and demons.

A new day, serene and peaceful, begins in the World of Disco. As usual, the great turtle sails through the ether delivered to inscrutable reflections, holding in its shell the four elephants on which the world rests. However, an inexorable collision with a malevolent red star is coming, and only one person can remedy the impending disaster.

It all begins when a magician reaches a lost town from the Carnero Mountains to designate his successor. The chosen one is a newborn, who how they send the World's canons is the eighth son of an eighth son. The magician must give his staff to the child, as his time is approaching. Maybe that's why it doesn't fix that the baby is actually a girl until it's too late. The girl, called Eskarina, is instructed by local witch Yaya Ceraviège who firmly believes that magic of magicians and magic of witches is completely different. When the hidden power in Esk begins to manifest, they have no choice but to seek the Invisible University, the main magician school of the World. Never before has there been a wizard woman, but Eck must be, even if he must overcome the opposition of the wizards, because only in this way can he channel such immense power that he threatens the survival of the world itself.

Action starts when Death hires Mort, a spooky and pathetic boy as an apprentice. After a short period of learning, Mort is in charge and Death takes a little rest. But while Death is dedicated to visiting the bars of the World and is coined in strange philosophical dilemmas, her apprentice causes a temporary paradox by forgiving the life of Princess Keli; without realizing that who does the work of Death gradually becomes Death. The princess is ignored by all who surround her and by the universe itself, for which she is already dead. Time is running out, and Mort, increasingly inhuman and more like Death, must seek with her adopted daughter, Ysabell and her servant Albert a solution that avoids the imminent collapse of the entire world.

In the world, to be a sorcerer it is essential to be an eighth child of an eighth child. In this book we are discovered why sorcerers cannot have sex: if they had sex they could have eight children. And an eighth son of an eighth son of an eighth son is a source of power squared. A Referee.

A new member of the sorority of murderers inherits the kingdom of Djelibeyi, known for its monumental pyramids and the glorious fact that within its borders nothing has changed in 1,500 years. However, the new region is not willing to keep things the same...

The city of Ankh-Morpork is governed by a Patricio, Lord Vetinari, who has legalized the murders, thefts, begging and prostitution to have them controlled. The Killer Guild and Thieves receive a fee of 'reasonable' murders and robberies, and the system works normally. Except for the Night Guard, which has been reduced to three men: Captain Sam Vimes, Sergeant Colon and Corporal Nobby Nobbs. The institution is degraded and remanded.

The only demonology hacker in Mundosta, Eric, is about to make life very difficult for the rest of the inhabitants of ankh-Morpork. This Fausto seeker is very bad at his job.

The world alchemists are doing their own again. This time, they've discovered the secret to get gold from the silver... or rather, from the silver screen. And following the Hollywood siren song will be Victor Tugelbend, a reconverted magician project to figurative. He doesn't sing, he doesn't dance, but he knows how to handle the sword (a little) and now he wants to be famous.

Two murders and one poisoning add to Mundodisco in chaos. In general, discovering those responsible for a murder in Mundodista doesn't cost too much. What intrigues Commander Vimes is that the unusual deaths of three venerable AnkhMorphokians do not bear the imprint of the Killer Guild. It all points to the peaceful Golems.
