Terry Pratchett & Stephen Briggs Being the Onlie True & Mostlie They said it couldn't be done. Well, it Accurate Mappe of the Fantastyk has been done, proving them wrong once again. After years of research, cunningly and Magical Dyscworlde 'contrived in as many minutes, the Discworld has its map. It takes full account of the historic and much­ documented expeditions of the Discworld's feted (or at least fated) explorers: General Sir Roderick Purdeigh, Lars Larsnephew, Llamedos Jones, Lady Alice Venturi, Ponce da Quirm and, of course, Venter Borass. Now travellers on this circular world can see it all: from Klatch to the Ramtops, from Cori Celesti to the Circle Sea, from Genua to Bhangbhangduc. The great cities of Hunghung, Pseudopolis, Al Khali and, of course, Ankh-Morpork are placed with loving care upon this world which is carried through space by Great A'Tuin.

  • Ankh-Morpork: the City As Protagonist
    Ankh-Morpork: The City as Protagonist Anikó Sóhar Université Catholique Pázmány Péter Abstract: In science fiction and fantasy, sometimes the city (whether it is real or imaginary) plays the leading role, for example New York in Winter’s Tale by Mark Helprin, or London in Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Often, as in the case of Newford in several novels and short stories by Charles de Lint, a made-up city with its fictional topography and maps corresponds to and accentuates the social relations as well as the emotions embedded in the narration; the geography can indeed be emotional as it was so aptly put by Sir Terry Pratchett when he appointed Rincewind (one of his regularly popping-up characters) “Egregious Professor of Cruel and Unusual Geography of Unseen University” (among other jobs). Sir Terry also dreamt up a very significant city called Ankh-Morpork in his Discworld series (which might have been based on Budapest) which offers a perfect topic for discussion. Ankh-Morpork, which was a simple although very funny parody of a typical city in fantasy fiction at the beginning, gradually becomes a setting for emancipation, liberation and disenthralment from various bonds, and provides ample examples of references to British and internationalised culture. The city itself does not play a leading role in any of the novels, but when the whole series is taken into consideration, its significance is immediately apparent, the whole series forms a sort of bildungsroman which describes the maturation process of Ankh-Morpork. The whole sensational landscape created for our amusement as well as intellectual and moral benefit could be accurately mapped in terms of literary-cum-urban-studies, geopoetics, focusing on several aspects of social criticism.

  • Jingo by Terry Pratchett
    Jingo by Terry Pratchett World war breaks out in Discworld when the lost kingdom of Leshp emerges from the sea after being submerged for hundreds of years. This island is a prize of strategic importance, causing the amries of Ankh- Morpork and Al-Khali to both enter into battle for conquest of the recently surfaced rock. For Commander Vimes of Ankh-Morpork, this is easier said than done. Facing potential death, torture and defeat, a small band of sardines, warriors, fishermen and squid follow their commander to battle. Stephen Briggs’ vibrant and energetic adaptation of Pratchett’s novel brings the fantastical world of Discworld to the stage. Jingo premiered at the Union Theatre, Abingdon, in December 1997.
