![]() Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Whenever Rincewind shows up we're pretty much guaranteed some "interesting times..." Though I kind of feel bad for the old chap, since he clearly just wants to chill out on a deserted tropical island and eat potatoes in peace. ( ![]() Another of Rincewind's "adventures". The Wizards in the academy at Ankmorpork received a request from the continent of HungHung for a Great Wizard. Guess who they send? Cohen the Barbarian and fellow warriors happen to be there too. Excitement ensues. I love Pratchett and Rincewind. What more needs to be said? Another Great and entertaining book from Terry Pratchett. This one is harder for me to pick a 'main' thing that he is poking fun at other than 'government'. Had me laughing out loud several times. All have been great books and I have enjoyed them all. A reread from 25 years ago, at first I was disappointed that this was another Rincewind story, as they tend to be weaker Discworld stories, but then along comes good old Cohen the Barbarian and his horde of six equally old barbarians plus Teacher, who is trying to teach them about civilisation (so that they can steal from it). It just becomes delightfully silly, you know that if the odds are 700,000 to seven, then the poor army of 700,000 just don’t stand a chance! ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"May you live in interesting times" is the worst thing one can wish on a citizen of Discworld -- especially on the distinctly unmagical sorcerer Rincewind, who has had far too much perilous excitement in his life. But when a request for a "Great Wizzard" arrives in Ankh-Morpork via carrier albatross from the faraway Counterweight Continent, it's he who's sent as emissary. Chaos threatens to follow the impending demise of the Agatean Empire's current ruler. And, for some incomprehensible reason, someone believes Rincewind will have a mythic role in the war and wholesale bloodletting that will surely ensue. (Carnage is pretty much a given, since Cohen the Barbarian and his extremely elderly Silver Horde are busily formulating their own plan for looting, pillaging, and, er, looking wistfully at girls.) However, Rincewind firmly believes there are too many heroes already in the world, yet only one Rincewind. And he owes it to the world to keep that one alive for as long as possible.
