(3.71) | 202 | Sourcery, a hilarious mix of magic, mayhem, and Luggage, is the fifth book in Terry Pratchett's classic fantasy Discworld series. Rincewind, the legendarily inept wizard, has returned after falling off the edge of the world. And this time, he's brought the Luggage. But that's not allâ?¦ Once upon a time, there was an eighth son of an eighth son who was, of course, a wizard. As if that wasn't complicated enough, said wizard then had seven sons. And then he had an eighth son - a wizard squared (that's all the math, really). Who of course, was a source of magic - a sourcerer. Will the sourcerer lead the wizards to dominate all of Discworld?

Many years ago I saw, in Bath, a very large American lady towing a huge tartan suitcase very fast on little rattly wheels which caught in the pavement cracks and generally gave it a life of its own. At that moment the Luggage was born. Many thanks to that lady and everyone else in places like Power Cable, Neb., who don't get nearly enough encouragement. | |

Citat |
Information från den engelska sidan med allmänna fakta. Redigera om du vill anpassa till ditt språk. The subject of wizards and sex is a complicated one, but as has already been indicated it does, in essence, boil down to this: when it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. Two thousand years of peaceful magic had gone down with the drain, the towers were going up again, and with all this new raw magic floating around something was going to get very seriously hurt. Probably the universe. Strangely enough, he wasn't particularly angry. Anger is an emotion, and for emotion you need glands, and Death didn't have much truck with glands and needed a good run at it to get angry. But he was mildly annoyed. He sighed again. People were always trying this sort of thing. On the other hand, it was quite interesting to watch, and at least this was a bit more original than the usual symbolic chess game, which Death always dreaded because he could never remember how the knight was supposed to move. There was a pause full of philosophy. They convinced him that he wasn't mad because, if he was mad, that left no word at all to describe some of the people he met. | |

Egentligen är det heller inte de gamla kvardröjande svagheterna som står ut mest, utan att en så stor del av boken, när allt kommer omkring, inte leder någon vart: Rensvind, varande den stora fegis han är, flyr tillsammans med Conina (en dotter till Cohen Barbaren som vill bli hårfrisörska men har utrustats med för mycket barbargener för att det riktigt skall lyckas) till Klatch med Ärkekanslerns hatt undan Coins övertagande, varvid mycket skojande med diverse orientaliska myter i allmänhet och Tusen och en natt i synnerhet tar vid, innan det visar sig att denna resa egentligen inte gjort varken till eller från för slutet, även om den i sig var mödan värd (»Nej!« invänder Rensvind, men sen när lyssnar någon på honom?)
Nåja, en rolig bok är det, även om den som läst Goda omen vet hur mycket bättre ett visst inslag sedermera skulle avhandlas. ( )
