Arthur Dent hat einen echt miesen Tag. Erst soll sein Haus abgerissen werden, um einer Umgehungsstraße Platz zu machen, und dann wird auch noch die gesamte Erde zerstört...

Endlich wieder auf der Erde! Arthur Dent ist gut gelandet. Einziger Haken: Er ist zwei Millionen Jahre früher in einer Steinzeithöhle gestrandet...

Zákony života, vesmíru a vůbec surově postrkují Galaxií, tentokrát pro nic menšího, než je záchrana samotného vesmíru. Ano, je znovu čas sbalit ručník, porozhlédnout se po bezpečné skrýši, kam by člověk mohl odložit pud sebezáchovy, a vyrazit. Po tisíciletích ožívá nebezpečí, že poměrně mírumilovný národ s citem pro melodii podlehne svému děsu z jiných vesmírných ras a na druhý pokus se s nimi vypořádá jednou provždy.

If you’ve done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Which is exactly what the crew of the

Heart of Gold plan to do. There’s just the small matter of escaping the Vogons, avoiding being taken to the most totally evil world in the Galaxy and teaching a space ship how to make a proper cup of tea. And did anyone actually make a reservation?

Após as loucas aventuras vividas com seus estranhos amigos em O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias e O Restaurante no Fim do Universo, Arthur Dent ficou cinco anos abandonado na Terra Pré-Histórica. Mesmo depois de tanto tempo, ele ainda acordava todas as manhãs com um grito de horror por estar preso àquela monótona e assustadora rotina. Talvez Arthur até preferisse continuar isolado em sua caverna escura, úmida e fedorenta a encarar a próxima aventura para a qual seria forçosamente arrastado: salvar o Universo dos temíveis robôs xenófobos do planeta Krikkit.

"Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis" ist nicht nur absurd und komisch, grell und aberwitzig, sondern (was eigentlich dasselbe ist) philosophisch...

Simon Jäger liest Douglas Adams - ein Dream-Team britschen Humors. Schräger Humor und beißende Ironie - Douglas Adams in Hochform: Privatdetektiv Dirk Gently ist in Band 2 der Mini-Serie auf der Suche nach einem Flughafenattentäter - alle Spuren führen zu Gott. Doch warum sollte Gott einen Abfertigungsschalter am Londoner Flughafen Heathrow in die Luft jagen?

O que você pretende fazer quando chegar ao Restaurante no Fim do Universo?

A continuação das incríveis aventuras de Arthur Dent e seus quatro amigos através da Galáxia começa a bordo da nave Coração de Ouro, rumo ao restaurante mais próximo. Mal sabem eles que farão uma viagem no tempo, cujo desfecho será simplesmente incrível.

"Højt oppe på et klippeforbjerg sad en elektrisk munk på en hest, der kedede sig. Munken stirrede ud under sin groft vævede kutte og ned i en anden dal, som den havde lidt problemer med... Uheldigvis havde denne elektriske munk fået en fejl, så den var begyndt at tro på alt muligt, mere eller mindre vilkårligt. Den var sågar begyndt at tro på ting, som de selv i Salt Lake City ville have svært ved at tro på." Der sker mærkelige ting på Jorden, efter et rumskib er forlist der, og dets eneste overlevende har begivet sig ud på vandring.

Plus bas que Terre ! Ayant - plus ou moins - survécu à son édifiante promenade cosmico-temporelle, le pauvre Arthur Dent savoure l'indicible plaisir de fouler à nouveau le sol de sa planète natale. Une planète jadis détruite par les terribles Vogons, sous le prétexte fallacieux de laisser passer une autoroute intergalactique... Pas de panique ! Car l'universellement exhaustif "Guide galactique" saura sans doute répondre à cet étrange paradoxe. Et peut-être élucidera-t-il un mystère plus angoissant encore : pourquoi les dauphins ont-ils disparu.

At the centre of the galaxy, a vast, unknown civilization is preparing for an event of epic proportions: the launch of the greatest, most gorgeous, most technologically advanced spaceship ever built – the Starship Titanic. An Earthling would see the ship as something really, really big, but rather less provincial onlookers would recognize it as the design of Leovinus, the galaxy’s most renowned architect. Before the launch Leovinus is having one last little look round and begins to find that things just aren’t right.

In Dirk Gentlys Holistischer Detektei geht es drunter und drüber.

Pauvre Arthur Dent ! Apprendre qu'on est devenu père sans avoir... enfin rien fait pour ça, voilà de quoi ébranler le flegme le plus involontaire de toute la Galaxie ! Suffisamment, en tout cas, pour aller se saouler sur une lointaine planète, dans un modeste bar tenu par une légende - toujours ! - vivante du rock'n roll... Pas de panique ! Car l'imprévisible "Guide du voyageur galactique", décidément irremplaçable, dévoilera enfin tous les mystères d'une odyssée digne des plus belles pages de Marx - Groucho Marx - ; entre autres.

Praticamente Inofensiva é tão polêmico quanto seu criador. Muitos o consideram o último volume da série O Mochileiro das Galáxias e outros afirmam tratar-se de um título independente, que apenas utiliza os mesmos personagens. Parte dessa controvérsia se deve aos 13 anos que separam este livro da primeira aventura de Arthur Dent, já que Adams iniciou a coleção no final dos anos 1970 e somente em 1992 retomou a história.

When a passenger check-in desk at Terminal Two, Heathrow Airport, shot up through the roof engulfed in a ball of orange flame, the usual people tried to claim responsibility. First the IRA, then the PLO and the Gas Board. Even British Nuclear Fuels rushed out a statement to the effect that the situation was completely under control, that it was a one-in-a-million chance, that there was hardly any radioactive leakage at all and that the site of the explosion would make a nice location for a day out with the kids and a picnic.

This sublime collection dips into the wit and wisdom of the man behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, uncovering his unique comic musings on everything from his school-trousers to malt whisky and from the letter Y through to his own nose, via atheism, hangovers and fried eggs.

Früher schickte Douglas Adams seine Hörer per Anhalter durch die Galaxis. Ende der 80er-Jahre macht er sich selbst in eine für ihn unbekannte Welt auf: in das Universum der vom Aussterben bedrohten Tierarten. Gemeinsam mit dem Zoologen Mark Carwardine besucht er Riesenechsen auf Komodo, den dicksten Papagei der Welt in Neuseeland und hörgeschädigte Delfine im Yangtse. Für ihre sechs Reisen nehmen sie die schwierigsten Bedingungen in Kauf und machen dabei die skurrilsten Bekanntschaften.
