Discworld

A forty-one novel comic fantasy series by Terry Pratchett, published by Colin Smythe and later Doubleday between 1983 and 2015. Set on the Discworld, a flat disc balanced on the backs of four elephants who in turn stand on the shell of Great A'Tuin, a giant turtle swimming through space, the series uses its absurd premise as a foundation for sharp satire of politics, religion, philosophy, science, and human nature. Organized across several interlocking sub-series following characters including Rincewind, the Witches, the City Watch, and Death. Over 85 million copies sold worldwide.
