The Disc, world and mirror of worlds, balanced on the backs of four elephants, themselves standing on a giant turtle, which is really only the beginning of its problems. Across its continents, wizards, witches, kings, assassins, vampires, dwarfs and the occasional sentient piece of luggage muddle through life with varying degrees of competence.
The Discworld novels are fantasy, certainly, but they are also sharp observations of humanity, bureaucracy, politics, religion and the many ways people can be gloriously ridiculous. Beneath the jokes and absurdity lies a world filled with memorable characters, surprising wisdom and the comforting certainty that Death always gets his man.
