It becomes apparent that the narrators are unreliable, not only in terms of controlling the information the reader is allowed access to within the narrative but also because of spatiotemporal ambiguity within the narratives. The analysis is divided into four chapters as follows: how to read the unnatural in a narrative, what constitutes an unnatural space, the respective narrator’s voice, and finally, reliability of the narrators within their unnatural space. By using a combination of the fairly recent sub-discipline within narratology, unnatural narrative theory, and Genette’s question of “who speaks?”, this study analyses the narrators and the different kinds of unnatural spaces in which they speak. This paper compares the unnatural aspects of Gulliver’s Travels and select City Watch instalments of Discworld. Jingo ) - humorystyczna powie fantasy autorstwa Terryego Pratchetta, dwudziesta pierwsza cz cyklu wiat Dysku, wydana w 1997 r. The narratives foreground the fantastic, written to entertain and amuse its readers but also contain societal criticism in the form of satire or parody. And as two armies march, Commander Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch has got just a few hours to deal with a crime so big that theres no law against it.
A beautiful gift edition, complete with fold-out map and pull-out information booklet, and a fantastic accompaniment to the novels. Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels set in Ankh-Morpork are similar enough that both can be treated as belonging to the subgenre of comic fantasy. Lose yourself in the glorious technicolour of Ankh-Morpork, mapped in meticulous detail for the very first time.
