Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series!
"Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist."-The Washington Post Book World
Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability.
Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally).
Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term "Future Perfect" from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!
"What's such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams's sardonically silly eyes."-Detroit Free Press
Über den Autor Douglas Adams
![]()
Douglas Adams, geboren 1952 in Cambridge, ist der Autor von Romanen, Sachbüchern Radiosendungen und TV-Serien. Die Idee zu seinem bekanntesten Werk, die Kult-Saga Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis, kam ihm, als er nach einem Kneipenbesuch in Innsbruck angetrunken auf einem Acker lag und in die Sterne schaute. Um die Verfilmung des Anhalters zu unterstützen, zog er 1999 mit seiner Familie nach Kalifornien, wo er 2001 überraschend starb. Zu seinem Gedenken findet jährlich am 25. Mai der sogenannte Handtuchtag statt.
