Twoflower is very rich, but only because gold is very common in his country: he’s a simple insurance salesman. The naive Twoflower arrives there with his traveling Luggage and his camera, or rather his picture box. The first part of the book takes place in the largest city in the entire Discworld, Ankh-Morpork. Yet, the book introduces very well many of the elements that would then become recurrent in the subsequent books of the saga. I’ll write it right away: the saga doesn’t start with a bang, and if you haven’t read any Pratchett book before, I probably wouldn’t recommend this one to start reading his works. Published in 1983, it’s the first part of the story of the tourist Twoflower (a native of the Agatean Empire) who, together with the wizard Rincewind, discovers Ankh-Morpork and its surroundings. ![]() The Colour of Magic is the first book of the Discworld saga. ![]()
