Discworld Omnibus: The Rincewind Trilogy: Sourcery, Eric, Interesting Times

Rincewind is a wizard. At least, he is generally referred to as a wizard. He is tall, thin and scrawny, with a raggedy beard that looks like the kind of beard worn by people who aren't cut out by Nature to be beard-wearers.

To call his understanding of magical theory
abysmal" is to leave no suitable word to describe his grasp of its practice," said one of his tutors at the Unseen University. He does have an innate gift for languages and can shout "Don't kill me!" and be understood in a hundred different countries. He is also good at practical geography, which means he always knows exactly where it is he is running away from.

'The Rincewind Trilogy' is a bumper volume containing the complete text of:

'Sourcery'

A sourcerer is born - a wizard so powerful that by comparison, all other magic is just mucking about in pointy hats. And his very existence brings the Discworld to the brink of all-out thaumaturgical war. (A bad thing) All that stands in the way is Rincewind . . .

'Eric'

Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. Pity he's not very good at it. Instead of calling up a nice tractable demon, he gets Rincewind and the extremely intractable Luggage . . .

'Interesting Times'

Mighty battles! Revolution! Death! War! (and his sons Terror and Panic, and daughter Clancy). And all that stands in the way of terrible doom for everyone is Rincewind . . .
