Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Stories

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld stories can be seen as a roman fleuve, a novel sequence. There are several mini-sequences among the novels and some individual novels. These small sequences follow many characters’ stories and we can divide them by naming their protagonists: Rincewind (and the wizards), the witches, Death and his relatives or Ankh-Morpork’s City Watch. Individual novels are Pyramids, Faust Eric, Moving Pictures, Small Gods, etc. Of course, the protagonists of one sequence appear or are mentioned in different sequences and this evokes coherence among the stories. These stories create a universe of texts and not only because of they reflect on each other but because of the strong intertextuality they carry. This appears in levels of characters, settings, plots and even genres.egyetemiangol nyelv és irodalo
