Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent, bestselling novels have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to the likes of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen. In The Light Fantastic, only one individual can save the world from a disastrous collision. Unfortunately, the hero happens to be the singularly inept wizard Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the edge of the world.

Dans une dimension lointaine et passablement farfelue, un monde en forme de disque est juché sur le dos de quatre éléphants, eux-mêmes posés sur le dos d'une tortue. A Ankh-Morpork, l'une des villes de ce Disque-Monde, les habitants croyaient avoir tout vu. Et Deuxfleurs avait l'air tellement inoffensif, bonhomme chétif fidèlement escorté par un Bagage de bois magique circulant sur une myriade de petites jambes. Tellement inoffensif que le Praticien a chargé le calamiteux sorcier Rincevent de sa sécurité dans la cité quadrillée par la guilde des voleurs et celle des assassins; mission périlleuse et qui va les conduire loin: dans une caverne de dragons et peut-être jusqu'aux rebords du disque. Car Deuxfleurs appartient à l'espèce la plus redoutable qui soit: c'est un touriste...

Octogénaire, borgne, chauve et édenté, Cohen le Barbare, le plus grand héros de tous les temps, réussira-t-il à tirer Deuxfleurs et Rincevent des griffes de leurs poursuivants? Question capitale, car le tissu même du temps et de l'espace est sur le point de passer dans l'essoreuse. Une étoile rouge menace de percuter le Disque-Monde et la survie de celui-ci est entre les mains du sorcier calamiteux: dans son esprit (très) brumeux se tapit en effet le... huitième sortilège! La suite de l'épopée la plus démente de la fantasy, avec, dans les seconds rôles, une distribution prestigieuse: le Bagage, l'In-Octavo, Herrena la harpie, Kwartz le troll, Trymon l'enchanteur maléfique et, naturellement, La Mort...

Teppicymon XCXVII est mort et il a un peu de mal à se faire à cette idée. Même s'il respecte le professionnalisme des embaumeurs, voir ces sympathiques artisans plongés jusqu'aux coudes dans vos entrailles a quelque chose qui vous remue les tripes. Son fils va lui succéder et lui aussi a quelque difficulté à s'adapter à la nouvelle situation. Pas facile d'hériter du trône quand on est encore un ado et qu'on vient d'achever ses études à la Guilde des Assassins. Vous voilà soudain responsable du lever du soleil comme de l'abondance des récoltes. Et les ennuis vous guettent: vaches grasses, vaches maigres, sphynx, prêtres fanatiques, crocodiles sacrés et momies vagabondes. Sans compter que la Grande Pyramide a précipité le royaume dans une faille spatiotemporelle.

Twoflower was a tourist, the first ever seen on the Discworld. Tourist, Rincewind decided, meant idiot Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. It plays by different rules. Certainly it refuses to succumb to the quaint notion that universes are ruled by pure logic and the harmony of numbers But just because the Disc is different doesn't mean that some things don't stay the same. Its very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the arrival of the first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. But if the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death is a spectacularly inept wizard, a little logic might turn out to be a very good idea.

Sam Vimes is a man on the run. Yesterday he was a duke, a chief of police and the ambassador to the mysterious, fat-rich country of Uberwald. Now, he has nothing but his native wit and the gloomy trousers of Uncle Vanya (don't ask). It's snowing. It's freezing. And if he can't make it through the forest to civilization there's going to be a terrible war. But there are monsters on his trail. They're bright. They're fast. They're werewolves — and they're catching up. Sam Vimes is out of time, out of luck and already out of breath.

What happens after death is now less of a philosophical question than a question of actual reality. On the disc, as here, they need Death. If Death doesn't come for you, then what are you supposed to do in the meantime? You can't have the undead wandering about like lost souls. There's no telling what might happen.

Susan had never hung up a stocking. She'd never put a tooth under her pillow in the serious expectation that a dentally inclined fairy would turn up. It wasn't that her parents didn't believe in such things. They didn't need to believe in them. They know they existed. They just wished they didn't. There are those who believe and those who don't. Through the ages, superstition has had its uses. Nowhere more so than in the Discworld where it's helped to maintain the status quo. Anything that undermines superstition has to be viewed with some caution. There may be consequences, particularly on the last night of the year when the time is turning. When those consequences turn out to be the end of the world, you need to be prepared. You might even want more standing between you and oblivion than a mere slip of a girl — even if she has looked Death in the face on numerous occasions...

There was an eighth son of an eighth son. He was, quite naturally, a wizard. And there it should have ended. However (for reasons we'd better not go into), he had seven sons. And then he had an eighth son... a wizard squared... a source of magic... a Sourcerer.

1916: the Western Front. Private Percy Blakeney wakes up. He is lying on fresh spring grass. He can hear birdsong, and the wind in the leaves in the trees. Where has the mud, blood and blasted landscape of No Man's Land gone? 2015: Madison, Wisconsin. Cop Monica Jansson is exploring the burned-out home of a reclusive (some said mad, others dangerous) scientist when she finds a curious gadget — a box containing some wiring, a three-way switch and a... potato. It is the prototype of an invention that will change the way Mankind views his world for ever. And that is an understatement if ever there was one...

In the beginning there was... a turtle. Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it's carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc's very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world's first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death, is a spectacularly inept wizard...

Somewhere in a place so far up there is no down, a ship is waiting to take the nomes home. And one nome, Masklin, knows that they've got to try and contact this ship. It means going to Florida (wherever that is), then getting to the launch of a communications satellite (whatever that is). A ridiculous plan. Impossible. But Masklin doesn't know this, so he tries to do it anyway. And the first step is to hitch a ride on a new kind of truck, a truck with wings — Concorde. The final title in the nome trilogy.
