为什么值得读

  • 死神角色的视角发人深省
  • 对死亡与解脱的探讨影响人生观
  • 展现作者极其出色的写作功底

人们常说世上唯有两件事不可避免……但这都是在 DEATH(死神)开始思考存在主义之前的事了。当然,谁也不需要一个患得患失的死神,很快,他在 Discworld 的上司们就送上了最美好的祝愿和一块当之无愧的金表,将他打发退休了。如今 DEATH 过得好不快活,寻觅到了崭新的天地,可以将他的镰刀派上全新的用场。但正如每一项重要公共服务缩减开支一样,DEATH 的离职很快引发了混乱与动荡——按理说大限已到的人(比如整个大陆最年迈的怪老头 Windle Poons)实实在在地

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 特里·普拉切特(Terry Pratchett)的《碟形世界》(Discworld)系列,特别是:《死神学徒》(Mort)和《收割者》(Reaper Man);《警卫!警卫!》(Guards! Guards!)、《武装号召》(Men at Arms)和《夜巡》(The Night Watch);《女巫姐妹》(Wyrd Sisters)、《女巫出国》(Witches Abroad)和《仙灵与贵族》(Lords and Ladies);以及《小神》(Small Gods)和《金字塔》(Pyramids)。前两本是关于死神(Death)的,中间三本是关于……

    Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, particularly: "Mort" and "Reaper Man"; "Guards! Guards!", "Men at Arms", and "The Night Watch"; "Wyrd Sisters", "Witches Abroad" and "Lords and Ladies"; and "Small Gods" and "Pyramids". The first two are about Death, the second three about…

  • 特里·普拉切特的所有书都很棒,但尤其是《收割者》(Reaper Man)。我很小的时候读的,自那以后它一直影响着我的人生观。

    All of Terry Pratchett's books, but especially "Reaper Man". Read it at a young age, and it has informed my general life philosophy ever since.

  • 同意。我是死神故事线的死忠粉,不过除了《Mort》和《Reaper Man》之外,《Amazing Maurice》(猫和少年魔笛手)可能是我在这个系列里最喜欢的一本了。写得太棒了,感觉普拉切特当时处于巅峰状态。

    I agree. I’m a big fan of the DEATH story arc, but outside of Mort and Reaper Man, Amazing Maurice might be my favorite book in the series. So very well written and felt like Pratchett was at his best.

  • 那句真正让我久久不能忘怀的引用也出自普拉切特:“庄稼还能指望什么呢,还不就是收割人的照料?”(What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?)这在两个层面上触动了我:1. 死亡是一种解脱。无论你正在承受什么痛苦,它都不会跟着你进入死后的世界,哪怕死后是一片虚无。这种解脱是受人欢迎的,……

    The quote that really has stuck with me was also from Pratchett: "What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the reaper man?" This caught me in two ways: 1. Death is the release. Whatever suffering you're undergoing, it won't follow you into whatever comes next, even if that is absolute oblivion. The relief would be welcome,…

  • 我读的第一本是《收割者》(Reaper Man),作为入门选这本挺不错。从背景脉络的角度来看,可能先读《死神学徒》(Mort)更好,但也不是非读不可。他对“死神”这个角色的塑造经常扮演着局外人的角色,试图去理解我们人类,以及……

    My first was Reaper Man, which isn't a bad place to start. Better from a context point of view to start with Mort perhaps, but not necessary. His take on Death often fills the role of the outsider, trying to understand us and…

  • ……守门人等等。如果你喜欢巨蟒剧团(Monty Python)风格的幽默,你可能会最喜欢有灵思风(Rincewind)和/或幽冥大学(Unseen University)的那几本。只要有死神出场的书我都爱看(《猪父》、《收割者》、《死神学徒》、《灵魂音乐》、《时间小偷》)。我儿子超级喜欢所有关于萨缪尔·威姆斯(Sam Vimes)的书。如果你喜欢警匪/侦探类题材,那非它莫属。如果你想要多一点情节,蒂芬妮·魔武(Tiffany Aching)系列很适合。读……

    …the gatekeepers, etc. If you like Monty Python style humor, you'll probably enjoy those that have Rincewind and/or the Unseen University the most. I love any of the books with Death in it (Hogfather, Reaper Man, Mort, Soul Music, Thief of Time). My son loved all of the Sam Vimes books. If you love police/detective stuff, this is for you. If you want a little more plot, the Tiffany Aching series has that. Read…
