Mort | Terry Pratchett

The novel "Mort" by Terry Pratchett opens the cycle of the "Diskworld" series, in which Death is the main character. However, this does not mean that the book is creepy or terrifying. In Pratchett's world, Death not only fulfills its obligatory function, but also feels emotions, has its preferences and passions.

He fishes, philosophizes, loves kittens and delicious food. He also dreams of a vacation, and when it's time to rest, he chooses the country boy Mort as his apprentice. However, this unusual apprenticeship has its own difficulties. Mort, clumsy and not very capable of management, may face great difficulties in fulfilling his new duties. But he also has his own unique sensibilities and romantic interests that can affect his work and even undermine the integrity of the universe.

Apprenticeship promises Mort career growth, improved image, broadening his horizons and numerous business trips, but he will have to overcome many obstacles and learn to balance his emotions with the fulfillment of his duties.
