À propos de cette écoute
Brought to you by Penguin.
Named as one of the BBC's 100 most inspiring novels.
The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is....
In the beginning there was...a turtle.
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place which might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different.
Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules.
But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.
Unfortunately, the person charged with maintaining that survival in the face of robbers, mercenaries and, well, Death, is a spectacularly inept wizard.
The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but The Colour of Magic is the first book in the Wizards series.
Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.

A poor quality recording of an amazing story
The world building and witty writing are amazing.
The recording quality is very noticeably low, but it is listenable and the voice actor is good.

Great story, poor audio
The story is hilarious, lots of sureal humour and adventure. The audio is quite poor though...the narrator does quite a good job but there’s echo sometimes, and inequal low/high sounds. Pratchett’s and Planer’s work is worth a remastering and audio adjustment.

excellent story, great reader, tech quality medioc
i love the books and this one is a classic. there are some issues with the recording though; I think it's quite dated and so the quality varies significantly sometimes. and the echo effect chose at times can be jarring. despite the techical shortcomings, the reader is excellent.
