<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Terry Pratchett has invented a phantasmagorical universe in which a blissfully naive interplanetary tourist called Twoflower joins up with a drop-out wizard whose spells only seem to work half of the time. Together they undertake a chaotic voyage through a crazy world filled with monsters and dragons, heroes and knaves. Pratchett has taken the sword and sorcery fantasy tradition and turned it on its ear to create an entertaining and bizarre spoof.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>The first novel in the hilarious and irreverent Discworld series from <em>New York Times</em>bestselling author Terry Pratchett.</strong></p><p><strong>A writer who has been compared to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams, Sir Terry Pratchett has created a complex, yet zany world filled with a host of unforgettable characters who navigate around a profound fantasy universe, complete with its own set of cultures and rules.</strong></p><p><em>Imagine, if you will . . . </em><em>a flat world sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle. In truth, the Discworld is not so different from our own. Yet, at the same time, very different . . . but not so much.</em></p><p>In this, the maiden voyage through Terry Pratchett's divinely and recognizably twisted alternate dimension, the well-meaning but remarkably inept wizard Rincewind encounters something hitherto unknown in the Discworld: <em>a tourist!</em> Twoflower has arrived, Luggage by his side, to take in the sights and, unfortunately, has cast his lot with a most inappropriate tour guide--a decision that could result in Twoflower's becoming not only Discworld's first visitor from elsewhere . . . but quite possibly, portentously, its very last. And, of course, he's brought Luggage along, which has a mind of its own. And teeth.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><em>Imagine, if you will . . . </em></p><p><em>a flat world sitting on the backs of four elephants who hurtle through space balanced on a giant turtle.
