Mapping a Sense of Humor: Narrative and Space in Terry Pratchett's Discworld Novels

Více o knize

This monograph explores theories of narrative, space, and literary geography to uncover the intrinsic mechanisms at work in the creation of fictional worlds. It stresses the importance of fantasy fiction as a vessel for world-making which is, to paraphrase Farah Mendlesohn, more honest about its artificiality than realistic genres - one of the key topics of Terry Pratchett's work and legacy.
