《碟形世界》系列是英国奇幻小说作家Terry Pratchett的系列作品。曾于2003年网络票选百大科幻作品时排名第九。《碟形世界》系列目前已出版四十一部，无论想象力、内涵还是搞笑的本领均令人震惊。其中《魔法光芒》、《异光》、《圣猪老爹》、《开始邮政》等已被改编为电影。

茫茫宇宙中，一只巨龟正缓缓地游过星星间的深渊。它的背上立着四头巨象，巨象的肩膀上驮着一块无比辽阔的平板，平板的边缘则是绵长的瀑布。平板上是一个和我们生活的地球有点儿像，却又不太一样的世界，生活着和我们相似却又不太一样的人。 这就是碟形世界。

和我们的世界相比，它 的“历史”不算悠久，不过应该比你的年纪要大一些。1983年，首本关于碟形世界的书《魔法的颜色》面世。之后，作者特里·普拉切特共出版了四十一本碟形世界小说。

记住，在碟形世界里，一切怪事，皆有可能。

The Colour Of Magic 碟形世界1:魔法光芒
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.

The Light Fantastic 碟形世界2:异光
When the very fabric of time and space are about to be put through the wringer -- in this instance by the imminent arrival of a very large and determinedly oncoming meteorite -- circumstances require a very particular type of hero. Sadly what the situation does not need is a singularly inept wizard, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world. Equally it does not need one well-meaning tourist and his luggage which has a mind of its own. Which is a shame because that's all there is.

Equal Rites 碟形世界3:平等权利
They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.
 
There are some situations where the correct response is to display the sort of ignorance which happily and wilfully flies in the face of the facts. In this case, the birth of a baby girl, born a wizard -- by mistake. Everybody knows that there's no such thing as a female wizard. But now it's gone and happened, there's nothing much anyone can do about it. Let the battle of the sexes begin.

Mort 碟形世界4:死神学徒

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.

Henceforth, Death is no longer going to be the end, merely the means to an end. It’s an offer Mort can't refuse. As Death's apprentice he'll have free board, use of the company horse - and being dead isn't compulsory. It's a dream job - until he discovers that it can be a killer on his love life...

Sourcery 碟形世界5:大法

Once there was an eighth son of an eighth son, a wizard squared, a source of magic. A Sourcerer.

Unseen University, the most magical establishment on the Discworld, has finally got its wish: the emergence of a wizard more powerful than they've ever seen. You'd think the smartest men on the Disc would have been a little more careful what they wished for.

As the drastic consequences of sourcery begin to unfold, one wizard holds the solution in his cowardly, incompetent hands. Rincewind must take the University's most precious artefact, the very embodiment of magic itself, and deliver it halfway across the disc to safety . . . If he doesn't make it, the death of all wizardry is at hand.

And the end of the world, depending who you listen to.
