Terry Pratchett through his work became an international success, and his books have become classics of fantasy literature , photo:
– This is a very unusual Pratchett – said Piotr Upper translator books. – Entered into a series of science fiction, moving away from the fantasy – if the “Discworld” we consider a classic example of the genre. “Long earth”, “long war” and its sequel is one of the ideas of the writer, which he still had in his youth. Recently published a collection of his short texts Fri. “Instant screen”. There we find one of the first version of the story of the Long Earth. But left the project when the Discworld series became popular – added a translator.
After years of Terry Pratchett has returned to the old idea with Steven Baxter, one of the most famous British writers of “hard” SF. – The idea of the story is that a simple method you can jump on a parallel Earth – told Peter Upper. – In addition, it seems that these parallel earths are endless. They are almost the same as our Earth. They only have one feature that distinguishes them: they are empty, there are no people. Humanity so naturally begins to spread. Returns era of pioneering discoveries. Old Earth empties, we all are in the endless open spaces – he said.
– Because this is a very unusual description of the world, the authors less concerned with human affairs – noted translator. – In contrast to the “Discworld” less is of the form, which we like. The book focuses on the description of the world as we have in the classical literature of science fiction – he said.
