系列简介

《碟形世界》系列是英国奇幻小说作家Terry Pratchett的系列作品。《碟形世界》系列已出版四十一部，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。

书籍简介

卫兵，城市警卫，巡警。无论用什么名字，都改变不了本质：一群小人物。他们愚蠢、平庸，喜欢吹牛、酗酒。他们是龙套，是陪衬。一般说来，到了小说的第三章，或者电影开始后的十分钟，他们会一拥而上，围攻主角，然后被打得落花流水，抱头鼠窜，以此衬托出大人物的英明神武。但在本书中，他们成了主角。

大人物们策划着阴谋、政变，为了一己之私，用黑魔法召唤出传说中的恶龙，然后作茧自缚，把自己和无辜的百姓变成了恶龙的奴隶。大厦倾覆之时，平庸的小人物挺身而出，履行自己城市卫兵的职责。

当然，这些小人物毕竟力量有限，玩不了勇者斗恶龙的惊天大逆转。幸好龙也有自己的弱点，比如渴望爱情……流动。

　This is where the dragons went. They lie... not dead, not asleep, but...

dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly.

And presumably, somewhere, there's a key... GUARDS! GUARDS! is the 8th Discworld novel - and after this, dragons will never be the same again!

作者简介

特里·普拉切特爵士是一个出版界的奇才。 在他的众多奖项和引用中，包括世界幻想人生成就奖、卡内基奖章、BSFA奖、8个荣誉博士学位，当然，还有一个爵士头衔。 2012年，他凭借关于协助自杀的纪录片《特里·普拉切特:选择死亡》获得英国电影学院奖。 他是50本畅销书的作者，但出名的是全球著名的碟形世界系列。  

碟形世界小说《魔法光芒》于1983年出版，该系列小说在近三十年后仍然风靡不衰。 四部碟形世界小说——《Hogfather》、《Going Postal》、《Colour of Magic》和《Light Fantastic》——已经被改编成电视剧，之后还会有更多。 他的书在全球售出了大约8500万册(但谁在数呢?)，并被翻译成40种语言。  

2007年，特里·普拉切特被诊断出患有早发性阿尔茨海默氏症。 他于2015年去世。  

Sir Terry Pratchett is a publishing phenomenon. Among his many prizes and citations are the World Fantasy Life Achievement Award, the Carnegie Medal, the BSFA Award, eight honorary doctorates and, of course, a knighthood. In 2012, he won a BAFTA for his documentary on the subject of assisted suicide, 'Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die'. He is the author of fifty bestselling books but is best known for the globally renowned Discworld series.

The first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983, and the series is still going strong almost three decades later. Four Discworld novels - Hogfather, Going Postal, The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic - have been adapted for television, with more to follow. His books have sold approximately 85 million copies worldwide (but who's counting?), and been translated into forty languages.

In 2007, Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's Disease. He died in 2015.
