Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels are consistent number one bestsellers in England, where they have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.The Color of Magic is Terry Pratchett's maiden voyage through the now-legendary land of Discworld. This is where it all begins--with the tourist Twoflower and his wizard guide, Rincewind.

Dalo by se říci, že je to takový roadtrip. Cesta bez cíle, každý taoista by měl radost. Dva hlavní hrdinové putují napříč Zeměplochou. Jeden, protože chce a ten druhý, protože musí. První díl Zeměplochy mi spíš připadá jako umě spojená sbírka povídek. Ačkoliv se to čte velice dobře a na konci chcete číst dál, neumím se ubránit pocitu, že je to zatím jen takový nedopilovaný úvod. Něco z čeho se v dalších knihách teprve zhmotní ten kult, který kolem Zeměplochy dnes je.

A fantasy world for the irreverent

5 stars

This is the first of Pratchett's Discworld series. I have read and enjoyed others in the setting but had never read this one. In case you are new to it, the discworld is literally a disc-shaped world being carried through space on the backs of four elephants, which are standing on a great tortoise. As you can tell, the rules are all different in this world. If you are looking for deep history and fully formed fantasy languages keep looking. If you want a laugh-out-loud fun romp, open this happy tome.
