Pokazać świat Dysku Terry’ego Pratchetta
„To nadal magia, nawet jeśli się odkryje, na czym polega”.
Sir Terry Pratchett
Pokazać świat Dysku Terry’ego Pratchetta prowadzi czytelników za kulisy zadziwiającej współpracy Terry’ego Pratchetta i artysty Paula Kidby’ego. Demonstruje, w jaki sposób Dysk został powołany do wizualnego życia – od najwcześniejszych szkiców do ostatecznych arcydzieł – i jak Terry i Paul reagowali na zjawiska kultury popularnej, wplatając je w dyskowy krajobraz.
Co prawda Terry był niekwestionowanym źródłem pomysłów, ale przez trzy dekady to Paul dzięki artystycznej sile wyrazu przenosił ludzi, miejsca i kawałki lodożerczego bagażu z wiecznie płodnej wyobraźni Terry’ego do naszego świata.
Pokazać świat Dysku prezentuje również obrazy, których nie mogliśmy zobaczyć – wczesne projekty okładek wielkich nienapisanych powieści. To wyjątkowe przedstawienie jednego z wielkich literackich związków twórczych, wypełnione nieznanymi dotychczas grafikami i ich prawdziwymi historiami.

Nie mogło być inaczej ♥️ Miłość do twórczości Pratchetta wylewa się ze stron. Ilustracje są przepiękne, wiele z nich widziałam po raz pierwszy, jedynym minusem jest ilość stron , bo chciałabym zobaczyć ich o wiele więcej. To była naprawdę cudowna wizualna podróż przez Świat Dysku, jego krainy i przede wszystkim bohaterów.

pięknie ilustrowana, sentymentalna podróż po krainach świata dysku.

Mostly I looked at the pictures, and then looked some more. I read through some of the essays and captions, however, the pictures are what truly standout about this book. One thing I noted is that some of the characters don't look as I had imagined and I have mixed feelings about this. Nanny Ogg in particular looks the most unlike the picture in my mind's eye. I'm glad this book was available to borrow via the interlibrary loaning system of my library. It's a beautiful book and will no doubt bring wonder to many Discworld fans.

I’ve read several of these Discworld art books and wondered if there could possibly be warrant for another. What intrigued me was that Kidby included notes on his inspiration and process. Not only was the art wonderful, but it was satisfying to see behind it too. The final pages added extra features: some comments on Kidby’s tools and sketches that imagined some of Terry’s ideas for future books that never came about.
Only for fans of Discworld who have read many of the books, but highly recommended to them 😀

The much missed Sir Terry Pratchett is my favourite author, and the Discworld arguably my favourite series. Paul Kirby’s artwork is definitive if you ask me and, should already owning every related art book and portfolio of his, this is still an essential purchase.
Full of beautiful illustrations (many of which are new to me) it’s also really interesting to see his perspectives on the characters, and his inspirations.
A wonderful item for any Discworld fan.

It arrived before its Pub Day - yay!!!
No, I haven't read all of it yet, but it's worth the 5 stars for all the artwork alone.
I'll savour this during the next days, weeks, months and will certainly re-read it several times.

A BIG BIG thank you to my hubby for gifting me this one for Christmas!! I didn't expect this one, didn't even know it existed, so I am superduper excited and hyped. This was such a fantastic book full with fun art, quotes, designs, and tons more. Perfect for a Discworld fan like me!
Highly recommended!

Dla fanów Pratchetta prawdziwy skarb. Oprócz pięknych ilustracji bardzo ciekawa opowieść Josha Kidby'ego o jego artystycznej drodze, inspiracjach, fascynacji Światem Dysku i wieloletniej współpracy z autorem. Zdecydowanie polecam.

An absolutely beautiful exploration of the art of the discworld.

Being artistic (not even close to this artist’s level, though) I found it very interesting how Paul got started, the learning process, and where he found his inspiration for his art. He’s clearly very passionate and dedicated to his craft, and it shows in his artwork. The book beautifully presented and features many of his amazing pieces from early on when he was a kid to his professional work as an adult. If you’re a Disc World fan, this is a must add to your collection.

It used to be a regular thing – as the end of the year came around, there would be in the shops another Terry Pratchett novel, just in time to be bought for Christmas by and for devoted fans.
Since the author’s passing in 2015 (nearly 10 years ago now!), obviously the supply of new material to buy has dwindled, although the Pratchett estate have managed to come up with something - last year we got a collection of Terry’s published short fiction (A Stroke of the Pen) and in 2022 Rob Wilkins’s official biography (the award winning A Life With Footnotes) kept the interest in Discworld going and the fans happy. This year the offering is an account by the artist chosen by Terry to work in his books, calendars, diaries and other ephemera since 1993, Paul Kidby.
Although this is a little smaller in height than many art books (including The Art of Discworld and Imaginarium) this is an impressive, glossily produced book printed in colour throughout on heavy stock.
In the book’s introduction, Paul explains how he managed to go from being an enthusiastic boy to a professional artist. There was a career before Discworld, and the book briefly shows us some of Paul’s work for Future Publishing (I liked his pictures ofJudge Dredd and from the DC World!) as well as the cartoon design for UK fruit juice drink Um Bongo, which many will remember.
But it is his work for Terry that we are here for. Unlike The Art of Discworld and Imaginarium, which really focus on presenting the art, here we have a narrative written by Paul on how Terry & Paul worked together. The general tone is light and positive, and there are some lovely handwritten asides along the way. In his introduction Paul writes that (Pratchett) “…was an encouraging and enthusiastic collaborator.” with a handwritten comment underneath, “…as long as I got things ‘right’!”
As the book progresses, it becomes clear that the production of the artwork was a result of a partnership - whilst Terry was the undisputed creator, Paul was the artistic force, taking the people, places and man-eating luggage from Terry's ever-fertile imagination right into our world.
The art work was important to Terry as well as Paul, and clearly the result of lengthy discussions and notes made, draft sketches and many rejected versions before settling on the final version. this also gives the artwork a uniformity that many fans appreciate and endorsed by the author himself.
Most of the book is divided into chapters that depict many of Terry’s favourite characters: wizards such as Rincewind, witches, Sam Vimes and the City Watch, Death (and Binky!), Tiffany Aching and Moist von Lipwig, amongst others.We have draft sketches, mock-ups and drafts of images of people, creatures and places that fans will appreciate. It’s the equivalent of being shown around an artist’s workshop at the work in progress.
More than that, the book shows us how involved the process of producing artwork for books is. In these days of ‘quicky-art’, where covers often appear to be made up in Photoshop in about 10 minutes, I was impressed at how often things had to be drawn and redrawn with minor changes. The book also reflects the wider changes in book cover art – from physical to digital, from pencil to colour.
As well as showing us the evolution of Discworld, the book manages to show us how book covers have changed in the publishing world, with the tweaks required to make a book stand out in a crowded marketplace. To illustrate this further, throughout the book Paul breaks down the process of creating some of the book covers such as Raising Steam and Snuff, which I found fascinating. We even get glimpses of the whole world, as In Chapter 2, Creating A Universe, Paul shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life from his drawings of The Great Turtle for SFX Magazine in 1997, from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent version.
Part of the fun of Discworld is how Terry would take contemporary ideas and cultural references and add them in a skewed way to his world. What many fans will know is how Terry and Paul absorbed influences from art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld landscape. Readers will appreciate seeing some of their favourite Discworld characters in other iconic settings, such as the 1966 England Soccer World Cup Squad, the Apollo 11 astronauts, the painting American Gothic, and The Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper. Personally, I liked the Bat Out of Hell homage from Soul Music and the 2011 Discworld Calendar, but there are many more readers may recognise.
It really goes without saying that the book as a package looks great, and the commentary by Paul is as good as you would hope for. Honest, engaging and often irreverent – there’s a lightness of tone that belies the hard work that goes into any such artwork.
And, in a special final chapter, Designing Terry Pratchett's Discworld also outlines the images that we never got to see - the early sketch ideas of the great unwritten novels, with intriguing little snippets of ideas. Lots to dissect here, but I found one that was most poignant, and clearly an idea that Terry had on his own mind – The Turtle Stops (an homage to E. M. Forster’s famous SF story The Machine Stops, perhaps?) was the idea of what would happen when The Great Turtle dies. A sign of the end, perhaps?
This book reminds us that whilst it is unlikely that we will see any more Discworld books in the future – his family have refused anyone else to write more, I understand – the legacy of what we have is worth remembering. I suspect that this book will make a fan want to pick up their copies of the book and read them again one more time – or read those of the 40 or so novels that they have not read yet.
Would it attract attention from readers new to Discworld? Possibly. After all, it looks great, and there’s enough fun details in the narrative as well as the details of the production process that may make the book interesting to read about, whether a Discworld fan or not.
But really, it is a nice collection for any Discworld fan – and yes, out just in time for Christmas! (But how are they going to top this next Christmas?)

„Pokazać świat Dysku Terry’ego Pratchetta” to publikacja z wszech miar wyjątkowa, to nie jest zwykły album czy książka graficzna. To książka ukazująca, jak przy pomocy pędzla można nadać wizualne formy temu co najznakomitsza wyobraźnia jest w stanie stworzyć.
Kidby z każdą stroną prowadził mnie w głąb wizji Dysku, począwszy od szkiców i rodzących się idei, przez stopniową ewolucję postaci aż nieustanne dopracowywanie, by osiągnąć zamierzony cel artystyczny. Książka uchyla wiele nieznanych tajemnic, ponieważ oprócz ilustracji Rincewinda, Śmierci, Marchewy czy Pana Pompy dostałam też niepublikowane wcześniej grafiki, projekty nienapisanych historii, czy zabawne wariacje, które podkreślają humor i dystans kreatorów tego cudownego świata.
Po zaznajomieniu się z tym dziełem trochę inaczej patrzę na współpracę między Pratchettem a Kidbym, ponieważ widać tutaj jak na dłoni jak ich relacja pełna szacunku i wymagająca zaufania owocowała i jak wiele radości artystom dostarczyła. Pratchett jako mistrz słowa znakomicie „wykorzystał” Kidbyego jako swoje oczy, a ten oddał wszystko, co miał najlepszego w tym sobie, by zadowolić siebie i współpracownika, co nadaje tym książką jeszcze więcej emocjonalnego wydźwięku.
To, że książka zachwyciła mnie jako fankę świata Dysku nie jest zaskoczeniem, ale ta publikacja niesie za soba znacznie więcej, ponieważ zadowoli każdego, kogo ciekawi ilustracja i poznawanie procesu twórczego i magią, jaka dzieje się nie tylko w kartach powieści, ale i w głowie twórców, a potem na kartach papieru, czy deski kreślarskiej. To piękna i bogato ilustrowana dokumentacja fenomenalnej współpracy, która całej sagi nie odziera z magii, a jeszcze bardziej ja potęguje, pobudzając zarazem ciekawość.

Write-Up Taken From The Pewter Wolf Reads
Now, the book I’m classing as my only January read.
Paul Kidby took over as cover artist for Pratchett’s books when the original artist, Josh Kirby, died in 2001 and most of his artwork is cemented as fan folklore for Discworld. I loved reading Kidby’s ideas on how he designed the characters and Terry’s world and the poking fun over his parodies (there’s one I knew vaguely which was his parody of the Mona Lisa, The Mona Ogg because of that smile/teeth. It’s only when I read his write-up, I found myself cackling and going “OH! I get it now”), as well as loving the little details (as Granny Weatherwax is in the background, disapprovingly glaring, in several Nanny Ogg’s parody, the loving nod towards Josh Kirby in the original cover design for Night Watch and the chess pieces in Check Mort where Pratchett was playing chess with Death [and winning] as this was released while Pratchett was battling Alzheimer’s.)
If the National Gallery in London ever decide to do a pop-up exhibition of Kidby’s Discworld art, I would snap those tickets up so far!

Gorgeous. Illustrative ambrosia. The most fortunate collaboration of Pratchett and Kidby has allowed us to glimpse with mesmerising detail the vivid and intricate World of Disc.
When you read fantasy there is a kind of compromise, a meeting in the middle between the author's ability to sketch out the broad strokes of their universe and for your imagination to fill in the rest. Terry's masterful eloquence made the reader's part of the bargain far easier, but - for me at least - it's sweeter still to have designs such as these that you know match his vision entirely (the collaboration!) and allow you to delve ever deeper into the world on your next read..

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect going into reading this, I was mostly hoping for some cool art around the Discworld. I definitely got that but I also loved the accompanying writing from Paul Kidby who really brought a lot of the art to life.
This has definitely left me wanting to grab the other similar books around Discworld and Terry's writing!

A little scattershot at times -- it's hard to cover decades and dozens books, even when you have a good-sized hardcover to work with -- but well worth reading. Kidby goes into depth about his ideas for characters and scenes, as well as his art techniques, with plenty of sketches and work-in-progress to study.
October 11, 2024
A fantastic insight into the Discworld and Paul Kidby’s brilliant artwork that brings the series to life. It’s insightful, interesting and every page put a smile on my face. This was also my first book read with my newborn son so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Absolutely Marvelous! You know how you sometimes get a book about books with pictures in it and the pictures actually kind of suck?!
This ain’t’t tha’!
In depth, gorgeous drawings with background details including the why, the IRL inspirations and history!

What a wonderful book, a delve into Paul Kidby and becoming a friend and the artist whom takes over from Josh Kirby when he passed away creating more Discworld characters and how he makes them and references
December 29, 2024
An exceptionally beautiful book that takes you back into the genius world of Terry Pratchett via the extraordinary art of Paul Kidby, who has always seemed to me to be the most perfect artist for the Discworld.

Bijzonder boeiend om het creatieve proces achter al die prachtige tekeningen te ontdekken.

A wonderful love letter to Discworld written by a fan turned creator. Absolutely brimful of detail and anecdotes that add to your understanding and appreciation of the series.

Beautiful and insightful to the process. Stayed for the whippet.

Wonderful insights into both the creative process and a friendship with Terry Pratchett, this book is a perfect dip into the world of fantasy illustration

Amazing…my all time favourite illustrations for my all time favourite author. X
January 14, 2025
The chapter of art for the unrealised projects/books that Terry never got to write nearly made me cry.
January 17, 2025
Beautifully made. The graphics and detailed illustrations were as intriguing as they were captivating. Very informative, Terry is a brilliant storyteller.
