The Art of Discworld (GOLLANCZ S.F.)

Product Information

Received the Prometheus Award in 2003; [14] came 73rd in the Big Read; [6] Locus Award nominee, 2003 [14] Susan Sto Helit (also spelled Sto-Helit), once referred to as Susan Death, is a fictional character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of fantasy novels. She is the granddaughter of Death, the Disc's Grim Reaper, and has a number of his abilities. She appears in three Discworld novels: Soul Music, Hogfather, and Thief of Time. Being both human and supernatural, Susan is frequently and reluctantly forced away from her attempts at "normal" life to do battle with malign supernatural forces or to take on her grandfather's job in his absence. Death tends to rely on her in his battles against the Auditors of Reality, particularly in situations where he has no power or influence. As the series progresses, she also begins to take on roles educating children, so that, as Pratchett mentions in The Art of Discworld, she has "ended up, via that unconscious evolution that dogs characters, a kind of Goth Mary Poppins".

Als großer Fan der Bücher von Terry Pratchetts Scheibenweltromanen, habe ich mich ganz besonders über dieses Buch gefreut, das ich zum Geburtstag geschenkt bekommen habe. Die Bilder von Paul Kidby sind sehr gelungen und werden von Terry Pratchetts Erklärungen abgerundet. So bekommt der Leser interessantes Hintergrundwissen z.B. wie der Charakter Tod entstand, ob Lord Vetinari ein Abbild des Fürsten von Machiavelli ist und wie er auf den Kater Greebo kam.

In Thief of Time Susan once again comes into conflict with the Auditors, who are now attempting to stop time altogether. She is forced to find the son of Time, whom Death cannot influence or even see, because, being only "mostly human", the boy is not subject to death. Susan is aided in her mission by Lu-Tze, a sweeper and definitely not a Monk of Time, Myria LeJean/Unity, a former Auditor who becomes human. Time's husband, Wen the Eternally Surprised, describes her as "helpfulness personified". [2] Physical appearance [ edit ] Where's My Cow?
