Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the first book in the Wizards series, part of the Discworld novels.
NAMED AS ONE OF THE BBC'S 100 MOST INSPIRING NOVELS
'If you've never read a Discworld novel, what's the matter with you?' Guardian
'The best fantasy writer ever' 5-star reader review
'It was octarine, the colour of magic. It was alive and glowing and vibrant and it was the undisputed pigment of the imagination . . .'
Somewhere between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a magical world not totally unlike our own.
Except for the fact that it travels through space on the shoulders of four giant elephants who in turn stand on the shell of an astronomically huge star turtle, of course.
Rincewind is the world's worst wizard who has just been handed a very important job: to look after the world's first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land. Unfortunately, their journey across the Disc includes facing robbers, monsters, mercenaries, and Death himself.
And the whole thing's just a game of the gods that might send them over the edge . . .
The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Wizards series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
Praise for the Discworld series:
'[Pratchett's] spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on Sunday
'Pratchett is a master storyteller' Guardian
'One of our greatest fantasists, and beyond a doubt the funniest' George R.R. Martin
'One of those rare writers who appeals to everyone' Daily Express
'One of the most consistently funny writers around' Ben Aaronovitch
'Masterful and brilliant' Fantasy & Science Fiction
'Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own... he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable' The Times
'The best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse' The Sunday Telegraph
'Nothing short of magical' Chicago Tribune
'Consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns' SFX
'[Discworld is] compulsively readable, fantastically inventive, surprisingly serious exploration in story form of just about any aspect of our world...There's never been anything quite like it' Evening Standard

Buch (Taschenbuch)
the start of the fantastic Discworld-novels
The Colour of Magic takes the reader right to the heart of the Discworld — Ankh Morpork. The book follows the tourist Twoflower and his travel companion, Rincewind the great (not so great) wizard, on their first adventures on the Disc. Pratchett's creativity and humour truly shine through his novels and captivate time and time again.
