Summary:

The first discworld novel is actually 3 novelettes strung together. The main characters are Rincewind, an incompetent wizard who knows only one spell, and Twoflower, the first tourist on the discworld from the Agatian empire.

This book has little plot and a lot of jokes. The story is mainly about Rincewind and Twoflower running away from all sorts of people all over the discworld - from the stinking city of Ankh Morpork, through the magical mountain Wyrmberg, to the small country Krull, that lies on the edge of the discworld.

This novel shows a world that move around in space on the back of 4 giant elephants, that in turn stand on the back of a giant turtle - Great A�tuin. This is a world where magic is real, and has rules of its own. This is a world where the gods play games with men. This is a world where Death really stalks the streets.

This is the best fantasy world I have read, and if you like to laugh, you�d love it too.
