Small Gods
Inhaltsangabe
Brutha is a simple lad. He can't read. He can't write. He's pretty good at growing melons. And his wants are few.
He wants to overthrow a huge and corrupt church. He wants to prevent a horribly holy war. He wants to stop the persecution of a philosopher who has dared to suggest that, contrary to the Church's dogma, the Discworld really does go through space on the back of an enormous turtle. (Which is true, but when has that ever mattered?) He wants peace and justice and brotherly love. He wants the Inquisition to stop torturing him now, please.
But most of all, what he really wants, more than anything else, is for his god to choose someone else...
Please note: This is a vintage recording. The audio quality may not be up to modern day standards.
Kritikerstimmen
"Pratchett is the funniest parodist working in the field today, period." (The New York Review of Science Fiction)
"Terry Pratchett is simply the best humorous writer of the 20th century. Wodehouse, Waugh, Sharpe, etc. all have their merits, sometimes considerable, but Pratchett really is a cut above the rest." (Oxford Times)

The Colour of Magic, the first novel in Terry Pratchett's wildly imaginative Discworld series, takes the listener on a remarkable journey. The magical planet of Discworld is supported by four massive elephants who stand on the back of the Great A'Tuin, a giant turtle swimming slowly through the mysterious interstellar gulf. An eccentric expedition sets out to explore the planet, encountering dragons who only exist if you believe in them, and, of course, "The Edge" of the planet.

The world will end on Saturday. Next Saturday. Just before dinner, according to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies, written in 1655. The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not actually looking forward to the coming Rapture. And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist.

Eines der besten Bücher Pratchetts
Die Geschichte um den Propheten Brutha ist eine der besten, die Pratchetts Feder entsprungen ist. Der Sprecher ist ebenfalls sehr gut, die Stimmen sind sehr unterschiedlich und sofort wiedererkennbar, auch wenn es etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig ist, daß der Prophet einer Wüstenreligion einen schottischen Akzent hat.
Was zur Abwertung führt, ist die Tonqualität. Die gesamte Aufnahme klingt extrem dumpf, was aber scheinbar bei mehreren älteren Pratchett-Aufnahmen der Fall ist, bedauerlicherweise.

Super Hörbuch, schlechte Audioqualität
Ich bin gerade dabei die Scheibenwelt Reihe durchzuhören und habe mir jetzt zum testen ein englisches Hörbuch runtergeladen. Der Sprecher ist gut, die Geschichte genial. Ich werde mir aber keine englischen Pratchett Hörbücher mehr holen, da die Audioqualität schlecht ist, sehr schlecht wenn man bedenkt das es sich hierbei nicht um ein Nischenbuch handelt. Dann doch lieber zur deutschen Übersetzung greifen, die haben wenigstens gute Qualität.

Very good as expected
The readers accent was very lovely, however the soundquality was a bit grainy.
The story is very good and funny as to be expected from any terry pratchett book.

Great as always
This just might be Terry Pratchets best book, it has everything. I haven't read a book from him for quite some time now, and so i was amazed how great he is. I must confess i had forgotten a little bit. If i could only recomend a few books to read or in this case hear, this would be at the very top. I love it. The one Star i took away is because people who do not speak very good english might not understanding. Buy it anyway, understanding half of this is still better than most other books. Have fun.

Typical Pratchett
Mad story, typical Pratchett, very enjoyable, but it is read too fast. I had to slow it down to 0,75 which slightly changes the voices.

Terry Pratchett at his best
Einer der besten Romane der Disc World-Reihe und SEHR GUT gelesen. Insgesamt aber nur drei Sterne wegen der schlechten Aufnahmequalität (zu blechern und Rauschen, wenn man z.B. im Auto die Lautstärke hochregeln muss).

very up to date
possibly one of the best of Terry Pratchett's discworld stories and certainly up to date with current, ideological developments - sadly.
