The first book in Terry Pratchett’s fantastical trilogy “Truckers” tells of small creatures—noms—no more than ten centimeters tall, who live alongside people: in garbage containers, old hamburger boxes, beneath a shop floor.
These smart, cheerful, enterprising creatures know how to protect themselves. After surviving countless adventures, they learned to drive a truck and escape in time from a shop that’s being demolished. When noms encounter the world of humans, they find plenty of ridiculous and strange things in it. As the best writer of 1991, the author received the English Critics’ award.
Everything depends on perspective. In particular, on how high it is placed. If you’re ten centimeters tall, even crossing the street becomes a complicated and risky undertaking—not everyone would dare it. And to set off on a journey atop a huge lever-thick monster called “a truck,” you need a truly compelling reason—for example, to make the whole world start collapsing. The world, as it looks from below, is one thing—while the world as seen from above is another.
