DELTA VISION Terry Pratchett - A mágia színe kalandjáték book 2017-es edition

A flat world resting on the backs of four elephants, a wizard best at escaping, and a tourist who stops at nothing. The Color of Magic is a light, ironic and lovable entry into Terry Pratchett's Discworld, where the rules of fantasy never work where you expect them to.

There are worlds that are special not because they are perfect, but because they live, breathe and surprise you from time to time. Discworld is exactly like that. A flat world resting on the backs of four elephants balancing on a giant space turtle in the middle of nowhere. And that's not even the weirdest thing about it.

The color of magic is the opening volume of Terry Pratchett's legendary Discworld series, where classic fantasy topos meet subtle irony, absurd humor and surprisingly human moments. The story centers on Rincewind, the mage best known for his inability to cast spells, and Twoflower, the world's first tourist who wants to see everything, even if it's life-threatening.

As the two walk through the alleys of Ankh Morpork, ancient ruins, deadly adventures and scenes of magical disasters, the reader slowly realizes that Pratchett does not depict the fantasy genre, but lovingly twists it apart, puts it back together, and then hands it to us with a smile.

This book is both lighthearted and clever. He laughs as he quietly talks about power, knowledge, stupidity and how unpredictable the world can be when magic is involved. It's an ideal entry into the Puck World, but it's also a pleasure for old fans to pick it up again.

If you like imaginative worlds, intelligent humor, and stories that don't take themselves too seriously but stay with you for a long time, The Color of Magic is an excellent choice.
