Klappentext
Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz . . . has the energy of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland . . . brilliant. A. S. ByattWhen war, magic, politics, and one deliciously inept wizard collide, zany mayhem ensues in this delightful satire in Sir Terry Pratchetts internationally bestselling Discworld series.
To the fine denizens of Discworld, the phrase May you live in interesting times is a curse. No one wishes to hear those words, especially not Rincewind. The distinctly unmagical sorcerer has barely survived more than a few interesting times and he isnt looking to experience any more. But when a request for a Great Wizzard arrives in Ankh-Morpork via carrier albatross from the faraway Counterweight Continent, Rincewind is named emissary.
The Agatean Empires current ruler is on the brink of downfall, and chaos is all but certain to arise in the wake. For some incomprehensible reason, someone believes Rincewind will have a mythic role in the war and the ensuing bloodletting. Cohen the Barbarian and his extremely elderly Silver Horde are already hard at work planning for the looting and pillaging.
Anyone can be a hero, but theres only one Rincewindand he believes he owes it to the world to keep that one alive for as long as possible.

The Color of Magic
