Mort was an
ordinary boy,
with ordinary problems. He hoped getting a job would help, but
the
job he found was quite special: he became the apprentice of
Death. “Mort”, the fourth
installment of the Discworld series, is a novel about love, the
difficulties of work – especially involving scythes – and other
important aspects of life. While Mort is learning the basics of the
undertaking business he meets princess Keli and immediately falls in
love with her. He soon realizes that love isn't so easy when it's
your job to help people to the other world and your loved one is
supposed to die. Mort won't let this happen – and so their life,
and maybe
history changes forever.
Meanwhile his master
Death, not knowing the problems and actions of his pupil, tries to
understand the joy of life. Can the Grim Reaper find happiness? Is
history set in stone? Can a young boy change the world? These are the
questions asked by “Mort”, a hillarious novel by Terry Pratchett.
