SOON TO BE A HULU SERIES • “An astonishing comic writer.”—Neil Gaiman Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read It’s an ordinary Thursday morning for Arthur Dent . . . until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly after to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthur’s best friend has just announced that he’s an alien. After that, things get much, much worse. With just a towel, a small yellow fish, and a book, Arthur has to navigate through a very hostile universe in the company of a gang of unreliable aliens. Luckily the fish is quite good at languages. And the
book is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy . . . which helpfully has the words DON’T PANIC inscribed in large, friendly letters on its cover. Douglas Adams’s mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with both time and physics, offers up pithy commentary on such things as ballpoint pens, potted plants, and digital watches . . . and, most important, reveals the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything. Now, if you could only figure out
the question. . . . The first novel in Douglas Adams’ funny, classic sci-fi series begins with the world’s end. When everyman Arthur Dent wakes to find bulldozers about to demolish his house, his undercover-alien friend, Ford Prefect, drags him to the pub. Suddenly, the two are hitchhiking through the cosmos, where they encounter inept villains, a depressed robot, and poetry worse than
death. Part travel-guide satire, part buddy-comedy spoof, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is like Jack Kerouac’s On the Road mashed up with Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. In other words, nerd humor at its finest. GENRE Sci-Fi & Fantasy RELEASED 1989 September 2 LANGUAGE EN English LENGTH 224 Pages PUBLISHER

BeoordelingenAre there different versions of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?Several different versions of the series survive on video. It was originally made as a six-episode BBC TV series (based on 'Douglas Adams''s radio scripts) but for the video cut was re-edited in places.
What was the significance of the number 42 in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?The number 42 is especially significant to fans of science fiction novelist Douglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,” because that number is the answer given by a supercomputer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.”
What is on the cover of The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy?The back cover featured the slogan "DON'T PANIC" in the same colour-video-screen style. The namesake of the novel is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a fictional guide book for hitchhikers (inspired by the Hitch-hiker's Guide to Europe) written in the form of an encyclopaedia.
How many copies did Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy sell?The Hitchhiker's Guide series is an epic parody that lampoons modern society with biting humour and pessimism. The work achieved great popularity, first as a 12-part series on radio in 1978–80 and then in a 5-book series that sold more than 14 million copies internationally.
