"La vita, l'Universo e tutto quanto", il terzo volume della saga Guida galattica per gli autostoppisti, si concludeva con il protagonista, Arthur Dent, in possesso del prezioso Messaggio Finale di Dio alle Sue Creature.Ma, avendolo sbadatamente dimenticato, Arthur ricorre a ogni espediente per cercare di ricordarselo. Tutto si rivela inutile: il Messaggio e proprio dimenticato. "Addio, e grazie per tutto il pesce", quarto episodio dell'epopea, ci riserva la sorpresa di un'inaspettata ricomparsa. Infatti, dopo Otto anni di folle girovagare per lo spazio, Arthur e i suoi compagni tornano sulla Terra, decisi a trovare, oltre al messaggio divino, la risposta a due altri quesiti di primaria importanza...

This title celebrates the thirty years of comic genius of Douglas Adams. On 12 October 1979, the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor (and Earth) was made available to humanity - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy . It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed with the big, friendly words: Don't Panic. The weekend has only just begun. This title is volume one in the trilogy of five.

One Thursday lunchtime, the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. It's the final straw for Arthur Dent, who has already had his house bulldozed that morning. But for Arthur, that is only the beginning ...In the seconds before global obliteration, Arthur is plucked from the planet by his friend Ford Prefect - and together the pair venture out across the galaxy on the craziest, strangest road trip of all time.

Douglas Adams is back with the amazing, logic-defying, but-why-stop-now fifth novel in the Hitchhiker Trilogy. Here is the epic story of Random, who sets out on a transgalactic quest to find the plan

Does the sensation of Tingrith(1) make you yelp? Do you bend sympathetically when you see someone Ahenny(2)? Can you deal with a Naugatuck(3) without causing a Toronto(4)? Will you suffer from Kettering(5) this summer? Probably. You are almost certainly familiar with all these experiences but just didn't know that there are words for them. Well, in fact, there aren't--or rather there weren't, until Douglas Adams and John Lloyd decided to plug these egregious linguistic lacunae(6). They quickly realized that just as there are an awful lot of experiences that no one has a name for, so there are an awful lot of names for places you will never need to go to. What a waste. As responsible citizens of a small and crowded world, we must all learn the virtues of recycling(7) and put old, worn-out but still serviceable names to exciting, vibrant, new uses. This is the book that does that for you: "The Deeper Meaning of Liff"--a whole new solution to the problem of Great Wakering(8)

¿Fue Elvis Presley secuestrado por los alienígenas?, ¿Cómo se consigue que un robot esté perpetuamente al borde del orgasmo?, ¿Qué hace el terrícola Arthur Dent convertido en Hacedor de Bocadillos en un remoto planeta cuyos moradores rinden culto a Bob Todopoderoso?, ¿Cómo ha podido Trillian tener una hija con el terrícola antes mentado sin el previo concurso de un ayuntamiento carnal? Todos estos inquietantes y trascendentales eigmas tienen su respuesta en esta novela, quinta parte de la trilogía Guía del Autoestopista Gláctico (y es que Douglas Adams, el escritor británico de mayor proyección interplanetaria, además de inventar la ciencia ficción cósmica y cómica, está empeñado en forzar una ya ineludible redefinición del concepto de la trilogía).
