"Mort" is probably a gentler entrance into the bizarre world of Pratchett. He, however, is not a character we meet in later books.Īs an introduction to the Discworld, these two books might be a bit intense. Twoflower is the stereotypical tourist, and yet completely lovable.
Rincewind the Wizzard and Cohen the Barbarian are adorable, hopeless and hilarious people to get to know. What it is about Pratchett's writing that catches me so completely is almost impossible to answer. I think I have all of the books in the Discworld series. This two-in-one volume was first published in 1999. The Light Fantastic, published in 1986, follows closely behind, and of all the Discworld novels it is the only true sequel to an earlier work. Just read it! First published in 1983, The Colour of Magic has been translated into thirty languages, and has sold over two million copies in Corgi editions alone. Here is Death, not such a bad sort when you get to know him. Here is Cohen the Barbarian, the world's oldest and greatest hero. Here is Twoflower, an innocent tourist in a world of nightmares and fairy tales gone wrong. Here is the sapient pearwood Luggage, a mobile trunk which launders any clothes put in it and incidentally homicidally defends its owner. This was the book that started the phenomenally successful fantasy series. In The Colour of Magic the failed wizard Rincewind burst upon the world and hasn't stopped running since. The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic : This is how the Discworld began.
