Pyramids

About Pyramids

Embark on a hilariously satirical journey with "Pyramids," a standout novel from Terry Pratchett's iconic Discworld series. This paperback edition, published by Corgi Books in 2012, is a must-have for fans of adult fiction, magic, and fantasy across Malta and Gozo. Pratchett, renowned for his razor-sharp wit and imaginative storytelling, transports readers to Djelibeybi, a kingdom steeped in ancient Egyptian-esque traditions and, naturally, an abundance of pyramids. It’s a compelling read for anyone aged 14+, blending profound social commentary with an irresistible blend of humor and adventure. Discover why Pratchett remains a literary legend with this brilliant, standalone Discworld tale.

The story follows Teppic, an assassin-in-training from Ankh-Morpork, who unexpectedly inherits the throne of Djelibeybi after his father's death. Thrust into the role of Pharaoh, Teppic quickly discovers that ruling a kingdom fixated on death, tradition, and pyramid construction is far more complicated—and absurd—than he ever imagined. As he attempts to modernize Djelibeybi, he inadvertently sets off a chain of events that challenges the very fabric of reality. "Pyramids" is a masterclass in comedic fantasy, offering a unique blend of historical parody, philosophical musings, and unforgettable characters that will keep you entertained from start to finish.
