《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。

Reaper Man 碟形世界11:灵魂收割者

'Death has to happen. That’s what bein' alive is all about. You're alive, and then you're dead. It can't just stop happening.'

But it can. And it has. Death is missing – presumed…er…gone (and on a little farm far, far away, a tall dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe). Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn. 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, particularly when they discover that life really is only for the living...

Witches Abroad 碟形世界12:教母魔棒

'Things have to come to an end, see. That's how it works when you turn the world into stories. You should never have done that. You shouldn't treat people like they was characters, like they was things. But if you do, then you've got to know where the story ends.'

It seemed an easy job... After all, how difficult could it be to make sure that a servant girl doesn't marry a prince? Quite hard, actually, even for the witches Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick. That's the problem with real life – it tends to get in the way of a good story, and a good story is hard to resist. Servant girls have to marry the prince. That's what life is all about. You can't fight a Happy Ending, especially when it comes with glass slippers and a Fairy Godmother who has made Destiny an offer it can't refuse.

At least - up until now...

Small Gods 碟形世界13:无名小神

'Just because you can't explain it, doesn't mean it's a miracle.'

In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was: 'Hey, you!' This is the Discworld, after all, and religion is a controversial business. Everyone has their own opinion, and indeed their own gods, of every shape and size, and all elbowing for space at the top. In such a competitive environment, shape and size can be pretty crucial to make one's presence felt. So it's certainly not helpful to be reduced to appearing in the form of a tortoise, a manifestation far below god-like status in anyone's book.

In such instances, you need an acolyte, and fast: for the Great God Om, Brutha the novice is the Chosen One – or at least the only One available. He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He also wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please...

Men At Arms 碟形世界15:恢复国王

"Be a MAN in the City Watch!  The City Watch needs MEN!"

But what it's gotincludes Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus (a troll), Lance-constable Angua (a woman...most of the time) and Corporal Nobbs (disqualified from the human race for shoving).

And they need all the help they can get.  Because they've only got twenty-four hours to clean up the town and this is ANKH-MORPORT we're talking about...

TERRY PRATCHETT is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and his trilogy for young readers, The Bromeliad, is scheduled to be adapted into a spectacular animated movie. His first Discworld novel for children, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, was awarded the 2001 Carnegie Medal.
