Author Terry Pratchett

Narrator Vladislav Kopp

The stories take place on a fantastic planet. This planet is flat and shaped like a disk. The world has its own laws of physics: light moves slowly here, magic is tangible, and in the rainbow there are eight colors. In this world, anything is possible: what we consider myths is true there. The flat world rests on the backs of four elephants, which are held up by the gigantic turtle A’Tuin, swimming through outer space. In this world, besides what seem like familiar guards, there live, quite literally, ancient heroes—and even witches.

The set includes the following stories by Terry Pratchett:
The Sea and Little Fishes (The Sea and Little Fishes)
Translation: E. Aleksandrova
Read by: Vlad Kopp (1999)
This file contains not only the story itself “The Sea and Little Fishes” in the original translation with unfamiliar versions of the characters’ names, but also a brief description of Terry Pratchett’s work, giving us an idea of the Discworld series.

The Sea and Little Fishes (The Sea and Little Fishes)
Translation: A. Zhikarantsev
Read by: Vlad Kopp (2004)
In “The Sea and Little Fishes,” Pratchett offers readers new adventures of the witch Esme Weatherwax—a very high-spirited nature, extremely confident that second place is the same as losing.… This witch has an iron character, steel moral principles, and ironclad pride—she knows how to handle any situation. Like a Western hero, she is formally a negative hero who does good…

The Troll Bridge (The Troll Bridge)
Translation: A. Zhikarantsev
Read by: Vlad Kopp (2003)
A story from the Cohen the Barbarian subcycle.

Everything flows, everything changes. These days are no longer what they used to be. For barbarian heroes in the new world, there is no place—so thinks Cohen the Barbarian as he searches the mountains for the last remaining monsters, wild trolls, and so on. It’s time to find a new niche in life. However, he already has a couple of ideas on hand. Ha! And pretty good ideas, aren’t they?

The Theatre of Cruelty (Theatre of Cruelty)
Translation: A. Zhikarantsev
Read by: Vlad Kopp (2003)
Yes, it’s not easy to be a policeman in Ankh-Morpork.

A new case: a corpse has been found—strangled with a string of sausages, beaten with a blunt object, and bitten by some animal. To solve the crime, even Death himself had to be called in.
