ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Small Gods by Terry Pratchett unfolds in the arid lands anticipating the next prophet of the dominant Great God Om. Amidst this fervor, a humble novice gardener named Brutha begins to hear the voice of Om himself, who has inconveniently manifested as a tortoise. As Brutha grapples with this unlikely deity, the powerful and dogmatic Church of Om, with its zealous Quisition, exerts its iron will over the populace. The narrative delves into the complexities of belief, the earthly manifestations of divinity, the often-stifling nature of organized religion, and the surprising power found in unexpected places.
