Amazon.co.uk

Terry Pratchett's bestselling Discworld comedies have become an almost terrifying phenomenon generating spin-offs and merchandise on a scale to rival Tolkien. This snazzy omnibus edition of the two novels that began it all comes from their original publisher Colin Smythe Ltd with a new Josh Kirby cover painting. Collectors will love it, but although it's huge fun for fantasy buffs The Colour of Magic (1983) may not be a new reader's best gateway to Discworld. Parts of it rely on pastiche spoofing Fritz Leiber's rogue adventurers, H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu horrors and Anne McCaffrey's dragonriders. The episodic story sees the comically inept wizard Rincewind and Discworld's first naive tourist Twoflower pursued by Death (and worse) to the disc edge where the sea pours off into space--and beyond. Their adventures continue in The Light Fantastic (1986) which is both funnier--lots of rapid-fire jokes--and darker, foreshadowing the adroit balance of hilarity and grimness that makes the best Discworld novels tick. Pratchett applies merciless common sense to fantasy: when a wizard seals himself in a box intended to keep out Death, the lack of airholes means that he very soon hears a hollow voice say "dark in here, isn't it?" These books are loved by millions. --David Langford

Kurzbeschreibung

Together in one volume, here are the first two Discworld novels, featuring Rincewind the wizard and his Luggage, Twoflower and innocent tourist and Cohen the Barbarian, the world's oldest and greatest hero. And not to mention Death, who's not so bad once you get to know him.

4.0 von 5 Sternen This is how it all began..., 2. Juni 2000

Von	James D. DeWitt "Alaska Fan" (Fairbanks, AK United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)

There are now about 24 books in the DiscWorld series, possibly 25 if you live in Britain. But these are the two books that began the series. This is where it started.

I don't usually like parody. Harvard Lampoon's "Bored of the Rings," for example, has never impressed me. But Pratchett has brought parody, and parody of the fantasy genre in particular, to a new level in the DiscWorld series.

Pratchett's writing in these early books, as you would expect, isn't nearly as good as it gets later, but his characters are just as wonderful and his sense of the absurd is working overtime. There are outright parodies (Cohen the Barbarian, a lifetime in his own legend), homages (Firtz Leiber's Ffahrd and the Grey Mouser) and horrible puns ("luters, I expect"). No fantasy novel emerges unscathed.

Like most parodists, the plotting here is weak, with Rincewind, the most incompetent wizard in literature, and Twoflowers, the quintessential tourist, careening from disaster to disaster. In later books, Pratchett's plotting is impeccable, but here it's just not that good. But you don't read these two books for the plot, you read them for the laughs, for the fun of recognizing characters and books, and for the sheer hysterical madness.

The books are a delight. I caution you against reading them in bed - your laughter will disturb your partner - but otherwise whole-heartedly recommend them.

4.0 von 5 Sternen These two stories should have come in one book to begin with, 23. Februar 2000

Von	Daniel Dean (Myrtle Beach, SC USA) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)

I'd give this book a five, but as someone else said- you have to leave room for his future works which get better. The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic were Pratchett's first two novels, and possibly the funniest stuff I've read yet. I'm usually into the more serious works of fantasy fiction, but reading this parody of the genre left me in stictches.

It takes a bit to get into it because it starts off by describing this world as being a flat disk carried on the back of four giant elephants who in turn, are on top of a enormous turtle. Don't ask. Then we meet our heroes: A short tourist with four eyes who doesnt speak the language, and has enough gold to capture the attention of every lowlife thief and robber. The tourist's luggage which is made from the magical wood of a special pear tree and as a result- it has a mind of its own, many feet and teeth and follows the tourist everywhere. And the third main character is Rincewind... a failed, coward of a wizzard who can't learn any new spells because he accidentally memorized one of the eight most powerful spells on the disk- a spell so powerful that no one knows what it does and he dare not say it. In fact all other spells are AFRAID to go near it.

This is just the beginning. Pratchett's wit and spaced-out imagination take the reader on a wild ride where nothing in fantasy is sacred. Now these first two books come together in one book, and I say thats the way they should have come from the beginning. The first book ends with a cliff-hanger (disk-hanger) that is neatly resolved in the second story. And hardcover is a plus, because this IS a classic that belongs on any fan's shelf. It is highly recommended as a breath of fresh air to any fantasy fan- serious or not.

I think I liked it even better the first time I read it eight years ago at 16. Oh... and if you are Brittish- add one star! They all love Pratchett!

Also, if you liked this one- you might enjoy Robert Asprin's Another Fine Myth. It has the same type of fantasy-mocking humor. It's not bad!
