  • Terry Pratchett -A (Disc) World of Collecting
    TERRY PRATCHETT -A (DISC) WORLD OF COLLECTING Colin Steele Background Terrence David John Pratchett - Terry Pratchett - is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series and is one of contemporary fiction’s most popular writers. Since Nielsen's records began in 1998, Pratchett has sold around 10 million books in the UK, generating more than £70 million in revenue. His agent and original publisher, Colin Smythe says Pratchett has either written, co-written or been creatively associated with 100-plus books, notably Discworld titles, Despite this prodigious output, Pratchett is one of the UK’s most collectable authors, particularly for his early books and special editions. Pratchett‘s first book, The Carpet People, was published in 1971, while his first Discworld novel, The Colour of Magic, appeared in 1983. 36 more Discworld books have followed, many of which have topped the UK hardback and paperback lists. Pratchett's novels have sold more than 60 million copies and have been translated into 33 languages Until Pratchett’s recent diagnosis of an early stage of a rare form of Alzheimer’s disease, he usually wrote two books a year, which reputedly earned him £1 million each. When asked “What do you love most about your job? “ Pratchett replied “Well, I get paid shitloads of cash...which is good”. Pratchett donated £500,000 towards Alzheimer’s research in March 2008. Pratchett anticipates dictating novels from 2009 onwards due to his illness. He recently told the BBC, that compared to his once rapid typing, that he now types “badly - if it wasn’t for my loss of typing ability, I might doubt the fact that I have Alzheimer’s.

Kaitlin Williams B.A., Auburn University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: James Ivory This thesis explores educational ideology in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series with a continued focus on the ways gendered magic results in gendered knowledge and education. Pratchett’s witches and wizards demonstrate and even consciously uphold distinct gender separation regarding magical practice, methodology, knowledge, and responsibility. By fracturing the magical community into two distinct factions, Pratchett’s work positions the witches and wizards of Discworld as ideological oppositions. An in-depth analysis of the wizards and Unseen University traces their associations with the history of the British educational system, male privilege, academic elitism, and tradition, reading their order as indicative of the “norm” and a repressive dominant educational ideology.

    Hugvísindasvið Religion in Good Omens A Study of the Usage and Effect of Religion in the Comedic Fantasy Novel Good Omens Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Erla Filipía Haraldsdóttir Janúar 2014 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska Religion in Good Omens A Study of the Usage and Effect of Religion in the Comedic Fantasy Novel Good Omens Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Erla Filipía Haraldsdóttir Kt.: 281090-2679 Leiðbeinandi: Úlfhildur Dagsdóttir Janúar 2014 2 Abstract When analysing the fantasy novel Good Omens (1990) by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, one comes across various interesting features, most to do with its relationship with the source material, the Bible. As it is a fantasy novel, the authors have defined the Christian biblical elements as foreign and 'other', outside of the realm that is familiar and natural to the reader, and can thereby render both Heaven and Hell antagonistic. An important element of that is the morality of the central characters. Those of them that are human have free will, and are therefore in control of their own destiny and consequently can take responsibility for their actions. Thus the humans are moral creatures. On the other hand, the characters that belong to either the forces of Heaven or Hell, that is, angels or demons, have no free will, and are completely under the control of either God or Satan. Therefore Heaven and Hell are exempt from moral consequences. They have no free will, are not to blame for their actions, and therefore their actions can not be classified as morally good or bad.

Re-read on Xmas! Little ' YES. What the hell. Oh, all right. The 20th Discworld novel is a festive feast of darkness and Death but with jolly robins and tinsel too. Suddenly Discworld's entire myth system is unraveling at an alarming rate. The Gaiters were having a dinner party. Quite ironic given how much Susan says she only wants to be 'normal'. P has said the city probably leans toward the early 19th century, he writes it a bit older than that and so this felt, as one person said, more like a Harry Potter than the Discworld. The guy from Hustle is great as Teatime and the girl from Downton Abbey perfect as Susan Death, and they both bring the two central characters to life in such a way that the book feels very flat in comparison but as a standalone Discworld novel on the nature of belief it's almost as good as Small Gods with the s I have seen the TV adaptation so many times, it's a Christmas tradition around here, that it is hard to separate my affection for the show with my affection for the writing of Pratchett. The midwinter holiday on Discworld is Hogswatch rather than Christmas, and the Hogfather is the Discworld's counterpart of Santa Claus.

    GOOD OMENS EPISODE 1 "IN THE BEGINNING" Third Draft tidy July 25 2015 Written by Neil Gaiman Based on the novel "Good Omens" By Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman GOOD OMENS Episode 1 FADE IN: Title Card: The Beginning EXT. THE GARDEN OF EDEN - DAY Almost a montage: A huge black SNAKE slips along a tree branch. The Snake’s head whispers into EVE’s ear. A hand, Eve’s, picks an apple from a tree. She takes a bite. Grins. Passes it to ADAM. (They are both tastefully naked. I would not make them white people.) Adam also takes a bite... And then he grins lecherously at Eve. Tasteful blackout... Time lapse... A rumble of supernatural THUNDER! An angel in white robes (AZIRAPHALE but we can’t see his face), holding a flaming sword, gestures impressively towards an exit gate: they have to leave... EXT. OUTSIDE THE GARDEN OF EDEN - DAY The Garden is walled. Inside, a perfect place of greenery. Outside, something more like a desert or an African plain. Adam and Eve, now wearing leaf-based clothes, in tears, are running, desperately away from the Garden. Adam is holding something we cannot see. Eve is pregnant. Animals roar... EXT. ON THE WALL OF THE GARDEN OF EDEN - DAY Watching Adam and Eve leave, are the angel, AZIRAPHALE, and beside him, on a tree, a very, very large black SNAKE. The Snake HISSES loudly. AZIRAPHALE Sorry. What was that? 2. The snake TRANSMUTES into a male Demon. He’s dressed in black robes, as opposed to the Angel’s white robes, and his eyes look like the eyes of a snake.

  • The Translation of Humour in Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens
    University of the Witwatersrand The Translation of Humour in Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens Solomzi S. Khoza 296800 A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humantities University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation Johannesburg, 2016 i Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate how the different types of humour in Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's Good Omens have been translated into French and German as De Bons Présages and Ein Gutes Omen, respectively. This study applies frame semantics to analyse how the translators recreated the humour of the ST in the instances that they were able to do so. This theory examines how context is created and what expectations arise from an individual’s knowledge of context i.e. their understanding of the context and what the reader or hearer associates with it. The novel involves several subplots, but the same humorous elements such as puns, parody and an invented archaic variety of English appear throughout the book and it is the aim of this study to determine how these elements were dealt with by the translators. I will compare the two translations and determine how, and if each translator was able to recreate the same frames that made the ST humorous. ii Declaration I, Solomzi Sonwabo Khoza, declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation. It has not been submitted for any other degree or examination in any other university.

  • Fairy Tales and Consumption in Clive Barker's The
    FEED ME! INSATIABLE CHILDREN AND THE MONSTERS WHO WANT TO DEVOUR THEM: FAIRY TALES AND CONSUMPTION IN CLIVE BARKER’S THE THIEF OF ALWAYS AND NEIL GAIMAN’S CORALINE Brandi J. Venable A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2011 Committee: Marilyn Motz, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2011 Brandi J. Venable All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Marilyn Motz, Advisor British authors Clive Barker and Neil Gaiman make an important contribution to children’s literature through the thematic usage of food and the structural employment of fairy tales in The Thief of Always (Barker) and Coraline (Gaiman). Drawing from the writings of Philippe Ariès, this thesis traces the rise of childhood as a category distinct from adulthood and focuses on the didactic nature of fairy tales and literature in childhood. By utilizing the works of Vladimir Propp, Max Lüthi, and Mary Douglas, I demonstrate how the authors of The Thief of Always and Coraline use fairy tale structure and motifs, as well as cultural binaries such as purity and pollution, in order to make a statement about the role of food in childhood today. Contemporary childhood is a site of restricted agency where adults approach children as socially inept beings in need of protection and guidance. However, since adults are often preoccupied with their work and other responsibilities, they also expect children to demonstrate maturity and independence. In these books, food is the vehicle through which adult agendas are manifested. Ultimately, it is my assertion that adults coerce children through food and use fairy tales and works of fiction like The Thief of Always and Coraline to teach children about proper consumption habits.
