Über diesen Titel

This excerpt from Terry Pratchett's "Interesting Times" follows the reluctant wizard Rincewind as he is magically transported from a tropical island to the Agatean Empire. The narrative begins with a high-stakes game played by the gods Fate and The Lady, setting a chaotic tone for a story involving the Silver Horde, a group of ancient and cunning barbarian heroes led by Cohen. These geriatric warriors successfully infiltrate the Forbidden City using a mix of brutal experience and the help of a former geography teacher named Teach. Meanwhile, Rincewind finds himself embroiled in a burgeoning peasant revolution led by the idealistic Red Army, despite his desperate desire for a boring life. The text satirizes themes of destiny, cultural obedience, and the nature of heroism within the eccentric, flat world carried by a giant turtle. Ultimately, the story highlights the clash between entrenched imperial traditions and the unpredictable impact of a single, cowardly wizard and his sentient luggage.
