Where:
Knyharnia “Ye” (39 Heroiv ATO Street, Kryvyi Rih)

A world where turtles carry elephants on their backs, and magic is as natural as air.A world where logic turns into absurdity, and absurdity becomes philosophy.This time, Literatusa dives into the first novel of the legendary “Discworld” series — “The Colour of Magic” by Terry Pratchett.
Together, we’ll explore:
● how Pratchett mocks heroic fantasy while creating a new classic of his own;● why his irony is a way to speak about the most serious things;● and where, in all this, lies the kind of magic that hides within our reality.
We’ll talk about humor, absurdity, the meaning of adventure — and what makes this novel not just a parody but a mirror of human imagination.
Bring your favorite Pratchett joke, quote, or question — and join us for a small literary journey around the world on the back of the Great A’Tuin.
