Mort is a fantasy novel by British writer Terry Pratchett. Published in 1987, it is the fourth Discworld novel and the first to focus on the character Death, who only appeared as a side character in the previous novels. The title is the name of its main character, and is also a play on words: in French and Catalan, mort means "death", while in Romanian means "dead". The French language edition is titled Mortimer, and the Catalan language edition is titled Morth.
In 2004, Pratchett stated that Mort was the first Discworld novel with which he was "pleased", stating that in previous books, the plot had existed to support the jokes, but that in Mort, the plot was integral.[1]
^James Naughtie (host); Terry Pratchett (guest) (4 July 2004). Terry Pratchett. Bookclub. BBC Radio 4. Event occurs at 3m27s/28m48s. Archived from the original on 28 April 2023. Retrieved 25 March 2016. The first couple of books were fun jokes at the expense of the fantasy universe. The plot was really there just to stop the front and back of the book banging together in the middle. And then I realised by Mort, for the book to work, itʼs got to work as a book independently of the humor.
