Press Release Terry Pratchett Hisworld FINAL.Pdf Issued: 25 July 2017 Exclusive Terry Pratchett exhibition at The Salisbury Museum The Salisbury Museum, the Estate of Sir Terry Pratchett and Paul Kidby are delighted to present a new and exclusive exhibition ‘Terry Pratchett: HisWorld’. This will open at The Salisbury Museum on 16 September 2017 and run until 13 January 2018. In a first for the museum, this major exhibition explores the life of Sir Terry Pratchett and will give a privileged insight into the man who created some of literature’s most enduringly popular fantasy worlds and characters. Rob Wilkins, manager of Sir Terry’s estate said, ‘The global success of his work and the outpouring of affection for Terry during his life and after his death highlight the importance of this exhibition. Terry left behind so many words, into which this exhibition will provide a tantalizing window into their creator and the private space in which they were created.’ ‘Terry relished the opportunity to connect with his readers and we have no doubt that this opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves wholly in his life and work, and to be able view some of his treasured possessions, from his Knightly sword to his Blue Peter badge, would have both delighted and amused him.’ The exhibition will feature artwork by Terry himself, and over 40 stunning original paintings and drawings by Paul Kidby, Terry’s artist of choice. Paul has designed the Discworld book jackets since 2002 and has illustrated many Discworld publications including the 2001 novella The Last Hero and The Art of Discworld. Paul said, ‘It has been really exciting selecting some of my favourite Discworld paintings for the ‘Terry Pratchett: HisWorld’ exhibition. Many of the artworks are from Terry’s own personal collection and have not been previously exhibited. It is therefore a real honour to be able to show them together for the first time in the galleries of the museum in Salisbury, my home city. Visitors will be able to see many of their favourite Discworld illustrations up close and personal and celebrate the wonderful legacy of a great author who has inspired so many, including me!’ Paul’s work will also feature in an exhibition ‘Paul Kidby: The Charmed Realm’, which will run alongside the ‘HisWorld’ exhibition, from 2 September 2017 to Saturday 6 January 2018, featuring Paul’s illustrations from the book by Paul and his wife Vanessa. This image-rich exhibition, will also include an exclusive opportunity to see work by Josh Kirby who first illustrated the Discworld. Terry said, ‘I only invented the Discworld, Josh created it.’ The images created first by Josh Kirby and then by Paul Kidby, have helped bring Terry’s world of fantasy and its characters to life, encouraging readers to pick up the books, tempted by their amazing covers. Rob Wilkins added, ‘We are delighted with this unique look into Terry’s world. This exhibition builds upon Paul’s definitive and breath-taking vision of Terry’s work, and will give readers old and new an insight into both his creative endeavours, spanning his entire career, as well as his life away from the keyboard.’ The star of the show will be a full-size recreation of Terry’s office - known as The Chapel - quite literally the place where so many of his books began their life. For the visitor, this represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Terry’s world as he worked and the objects in situ with which he chose to surround himself. There will be many firsts: • The chance to see Terry’s first published short story - The Hades Business - prepared as a piece of homework but typed up by his aunt and submitted to Science Fantasy magazine. The story yielded the princely sum of £14, which Terry used to buy his first typewriter, an Imperial 58. This typewriter will be on public display for the first time. • A new commission from Paul Kidby • The first chance to see Paul Kidby’s design for a statue of Terry, which will go on display in Salisbury • The first opportunity to see Paul Kidby’s ‘Great A’Tuin’ owned by Terry, which has never been on display before To be able to hold this exhibition at Salisbury Museum is very relevant to Terry’s story. Terry moved to what he described as a ‘Domesday manorette’ near Salisbury in 1993. His affinity with the Chalke Valley is reflected in the books he wrote. He drew on his personal experiences and fascination with the chalk downland when creating his characters and stories, especially the Tiffany Aching novels. Terry was also a patron of a number of local causes and was actively involved with local communities.

  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

  • 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.

  • Catalogue XVI
    Catalogue XVI Welcome to our 16th catalogue, and we think, our finest. 108 items of rare speculative fiction from 1795 right up to 2016. The earth is around 108 sun-diameters from the sun, and in a strange quirk of the cosmos, the earth is around 108 moon-diameters from the moon. This is why the sun and moon are basically the same size in the sky, relative sizes varying by the orbital eccentricities of the earth and moon around the sun and earth respectively. When the sun, moon and earth are in syzygy (yep) this ratio allows for a total solar eclipse. In 1915 Einstein published his paper on general relativity. Despite the fact that Einstein’s theory accounted for the precession of Mercury’s orbit, a flaw with Newtonian physics first identified sixty years earlier, there was general distrust in the notion of spacetime with many of Einstein’s contemporaries preferring the more evidently empirical laws of Newton. Proof was desirable. To measure the warping of spacetime a massive body is needed. Stars are pretty massive, and the sun ain’t too shabby (it’s no Arcturus, but it’s still pretty impressive). In 1919, an experiment was devised to prove general relativity by comparing the relative positions of stars when their emitted light passes close to a massive object to their position when much further away from the massive object. The expected result was that the stars passing close to the sun would have their light warped by the sun’s bending of spacetime. The only problem with testing this was that it’s really difficult to observe stars just over the rim of the sun because, well, the sun’s pretty bright.
