Debo empezar por decir que no me parece bien que se distribuyan como una saga o serie de tres libros cuando en realidad son uno solo con tres capítulos, no sé si fue una idea del autor o de la editorial hacer esta segmentación de la obra que no obedece a otras razones más que las comerciales, es como si tomáramos “La Historia Interminable” de Michael Ende y la publicáramos en tres tomos (como hicieron con la película) solo para vender un poco más y llenarnos los bolsillos, con el agravante de que los tres tomos del “Éxodo de los Gnomos” no tienen sentido si se leen de forma separada y en desorden; otra cosa muy diferente son los siete tomos de “Harry Potter” donde cada uno corresponde a un año escolar (de alguna forma auto conclusivos), pero como ya he dicho este no es el caso.

What can you expect? Pure entertainment. Playing with the English language (signs, slogans, names, products, ... everything is taken literally or twisted around). Space-travel. More respect for little people. A more humanistic view on life. A lighter Pratchett, when it comes to convictions. To me, it's much later that he became more determined in his "beliefs". Angalo De Haberdasheri – store nome obsessed with the 'Outside', who welcomes the Outsiders on their arrival in the store.

It was always a good idea, he said, to be good at something other people couldn’t or didn’t want to do.”Llevaba mucho tiempo sin sentarme a leer fantasía, literalmente el último libro de este género que había caído en mis manos era “El Hobbit” de JRR Tolkien y eso fue hace por lo menos cinco años y me parece extraño porque para ser una persona que ama las películas de fantasía y que lee casi con obsesión novelas de aventuras como las de Verne, Salgari y Stevenson estar tanto tiempo alejada de este tipo de literatura es un poco raro. Tuvo que pasar una desgracia que me llevo a Bogotá donde termine refugiada en la casa de un buen amigo, quien un poco para subirme el ánimo y un poco para presumirme sus gustos literarios me hablo de Sir Terry Pratchett me dijo que es un escritor inglés que no me podía perder de leer y que me fijara que cuando aparecieran palabras en mayúscula es la muerte que hablaba (mi amigo no había leído los libros de los que hablo ahora y no sabía que ese personaje pertenece a la Serie de “Mundo Disco” y en esta en particular no existe como tal) al principio debo decir tome los libros con un poco de desconfianza, son tres tomos chicos de unas 200 páginas más o menos cada uno y que se llaman en su orden “Camioneros”, “Cavadores” y “La Nave”, la verdad por sus nombres no parecían muy prometedores pero me dio por escudriñar un poco y entendí que había juzgado el contenido de mala manera. Born Terence David John Pratchett, Sir Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was thirteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Store nomes have never seen the sun, never felt the rain. The Outside nomes are very much accustomed to the real seasons and weather types.

Irgendwo zwischen "I liked it" und "I really liked it", aber ich runde mal auf, weil es wirklich amüsant und unterhaltsam war. The nomes leave The Store and settle in a quarry about five miles away. Eventually though, they come to the realization that they must leave the quarry also--the quarry is no longer safe for them since humans keep invading. Dorcas and Grimma are left to deal with the humans that come closer and closer to discovering the nomes every day, battling starvation, and ultimately escaping the quarry. In the meantime, the Thing tells Masklin that nomes aren’t originally from earth, but from somewhere else in the universe. Masklin, Gurder and Angalo begin a quest to find a way to the nomes’ spaceship, parked on the moon (what’s a fantasy novel without a quest?). The trio meets other nomes in their quest and realizes that the world is a lot bigger than they had previously thought. There are over 40 books in the Discworld series, of which four are written for children. The first of these, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal. Once again, Terry Pratchett covers some meaningful topics in the guise of entertainment: fear of The Other and insular viewpoints vs. being aware that there's something bigger out there for you to explore; as well as class struggles and the Religious vs. the Scientific. He pokes fun at all of these (sometimes gently, other times not so much) as he shows that they all must find a middle ground for society to truly succeed. The story behind the trilogy's name (not explained until the second book) is a lovely parable.

Even so, it's an inventive story with various challenges facing our nomes, not least the understanding of the human world. When the outside nomes meet the store nomes and try to convince them there really is an outside a subtle satire on world views plays out whilst other more concrete problems are overcome. Pratchett lived with his wife and daughter in Broad Chalke, a village situated west of Salisbury, in Wiltshie. He got married to his wife Lyn in 1968 and their daughter who has followed her father’s footsteps to become an author as well, was born to them in 1967. He wrote and published over fifty books. A number of them have been adopted into television programmes for children. He has also received many accolades due to his great works. For instance, in the year 2008 he was knighted in the loyal 2009 New Years Honours which is a testimony of his influence in the fiction world. Naturally, there's a culture clash, but when The Thing (a mysterious artifact that Masklin's tribe has guarded for generations) comes to life and tells them the Store is to be demolished in a few weeks' time, they must band together. The second and third books deal with their further adventures after escaping the store and discovering their true heritage.
