Hungarian Summary:

Nagy A'Tuin, a Korongvilágot hátán cipelő csillagteknőc az egyetlen lény kerek e világon, aki pontosan tudja, hová tart. Hamarosan a Korong varázslói is megtudják, és akkor kezdhetnek csak igazán aggódni... A világot katasztrófa fenyegeti, s az egyetlen ember, aki megmenthetné, Széltoló, egy meglehetősen kétes hírű és gyáva varázsló, eltűnt. Állítólag legutóbb a Peremről lezuhanni látták egy négyszemű turista társaságában...

English Summary:

The Light Fantastic is a comic fantasy novel by Terry Pratchett, the second of the Discworld series. It was published on 2 June 1986, the first printing being of 1,034 copies. The title is a quote from a poem by John Milton and in the original context referred to dancing lightly with extravagance.

The events of the novel are a direct continuation of those in the preceding book, The Colour of Magic (the only Discworld novel to follow on in this manner).

The book begins shortly after the ending of The Colour of Magic, with wizard Rincewind, Twoflower and the Luggage falling from the Discworld. They are saved when the Octavo, the most powerful book of magic on the Discworld, readjusts reality to prevent the loss of one of its eight spells, which has resided in Rincewind's head since his expulsion from Unseen University: Rincewind, Twoflower and the Luggage end up in the Forest of Skund. Meanwhile, the wizards of Ankh-Morpork use the Rite of Ashk-Ente to summon Death to find an explanation for the Octavo's actions. Death warns them that the Discworld will soon be destroyed by a huge red star unless the eight spells of the Octavo are read.
