`Anything you do in the past changes the future. The tiniest little actions have huge consequences. You might tread on an ant now and it might entirely prevent someone from being born in the future.`Rincewind, inept wizard and reluctant hero, has found himself magically stranded on the Discworld`s last continent.It`s hot. It`s dry. There was this thing once called The Wet, which no one believes in any more. Practically everything that`s not poisonous is venomous. But it`s the best bloody place in the world, all right?And in a few days, it will die. The only thing standing between The Last Continent and wind-blown doom is Rincewind, and he can`t even spell wizard. Still . . . no worries, eh?The Last Continent is the sixth book in the...
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.`What shall we do?` said Twoflower.`Panic?` said Rincewind hopefully. He always held that panic was the best means of survival.As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld could do with a hero.What it doesn`t need is a singularly inept and cowardly wizard, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world, or a well-meaning tourist and his luggage which has a mind (and legs) of its own.Which is a shame, because that`s all there is…The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Light...

The wild rush of action in this classic frontier adventure story has made The Last of the Mohicans the most popular of James Fenimore Cooper`s Leatherstocking Tales. Deep in the forests of upper New York State, the brave woodsman Hawkeye (Natty Bumppo) and his loyal Mohican friends Chingachgook and Uncas become embroiled in the bloody battles of the French and Indian War. James Fenimore Cooper`s historical imagination is profound, his creative use of the gothic landscape is uniquely American, and his influence on plot and characterization in American fiction is pervasive and extensive.
