This is an automatically translated description

The Colour of Magic is the first novel in the Disco World series by the master of intellectual fantasy Terry Pratchett. Written in the 1980s, the novel parodies the clichés of the science fiction of the time and lays the foundations of Pratchett's unique style, which in later works will manifest itself as a sophisticated, sharp satire.

The novel opens one of the series' cycles - «Rincewind» and is a kind of key-hint to many phenomena of the Discworld. The route of the tourist Dvotsvit and his guide Rynsvind, a failed wizard, draws a kind of map of a diverse, vague world with mythical creatures, amazing plants, mysterious charms and special magic. What colour is this magic, is the world really flat, is it possible to change your fate and escape from Death if you are just a board game piece and the bets are already placed?
