Discworld's only demonology hacker, Eric, is about to make life very difficult for the rest of Ankh-Morpork's denizens. This would-be Faust is very bad ... at his work, that is. All he wants is to fulfill three little wishes: to live forever, to be master of the universe, and to have a stylin' hot babe. But Eric isn't even good at getting his own way. Instead of a powerful demon, he conjures, well, Rincewind, a wizard whose incompetence is matched only by Eric's. And as if that wasn't bad enough, that lovable travel accessory the Luggage has arrived, too. Accompanied by his best friends, there's only one thing Eric wishes now - that he'd never been born!… (plus d'informations)
Faust, vous connaissez ?... Mais voici Eric, quatorze ans, le plus jeune démonologue du Disque-monde. Hélas, aucun démon – ni succube, hum... – ne répond à son invocation. Dans le cercle magique apparaissent Rincevent et le Bagage – respectivement le mage le plus incompétent et l'accessoire de voyage le plus redoutable de l'univers. Et que veut Eric ? Oh, rien de bien original : l'immortalité, la domination du monde et la plus belle femme de tous les temps. Ce qui entraîne la fine équipe dans un périple étourdissant, de l'empire tézuma des adorateurs de Quetzduffelcoatl, le Boa de plumes, aux rivages de Tsort où les Ephébiens guerroient pour sauver la belle Elénor... Jusqu'à l'aube des temps et la création du monde... Et jusqu'aux enfers, où règne Astfgl, le roi-pédégé de tous les diables. Y a-t-il d'autres romans pour vous en offrir tant ?

The bees of Death are big and black, they buzz low and somber, they keep their honey in combs of wax as white as altar candles.

No enemies had ever taken Ankh-Morpork. Well technically they had, quite often; the city welcomed free-spending barbarian invaders, but somehow the puzzled raiders found, after a few days, that they didn't own their horses any more, and within a couple of months they were just another minority group with its own graffiti and food shops.
It was true about the time measurement as well. The Tezumen had realized long ago that everything was steadily getting worse and, having a terrible little-mindedness, had developed a complex system to keep track of how much worse each succeeding day was.
- "There's a door" - "Where does it go?" - "It stays where it is, I think."
- "So we're surrounded by absolutely nothing. There's a word for it. It's what you get when there's nothing left and everything's been used up." - "Yes. I think it's called the bill."
- "What're quantum mechanics?" - "I don't know. People who repair quantums, I suppose."
- "What shall I do?" - "Well, if you see anything crawl out of the sea and try to breathe, you could try telling it not to bother."
-- Rincewind and Eric at the Beginning of Time (Terry Pratchett, Eric)
Interestingly enough, the gods of the Disc have never bothered much about judging the souls of the dead, and so people only go to hell if that's where they believe, in their deepest heart, that they deserve to go. Which they won't do if they don't know about it. This explains why it is important to shoot missionaries on sight.
