Over 60 boxes full of notebooks, research, letters, scripts, jokes, speeches, to-do lists, hard drives and even poems...Welcome to the incredible archive of Douglas Adams. After his death in 2001, Douglas Adams's papers were loaned to his old Cambridge college, St John's. Reproduced here, in facsimile form and in close association with Adams's family and literary estate, 42 is a full-colour, large-format hardback that follows Adams career from early collaborations with Graham Chapman to his work on Doctor Who, through the Hitchhiker years*, Dirk Gently*, his groundbreaking non-fiction book Last Chance to See and his later digital work. Alongside this are details of projects that never came to fruition like a proposed theme park ride and a TV series provisionally entitled The Secret Empire. Edited by Kevin Jon Davies, who has worked on a number of Hitchhiker-related projects and had a personal friendship with Adams spanning more than twenty years.

PIĄTA CZĘŚĆ TRYLOGII W PIĘCIU CZĘŚCIACH Łatwo się zniechęcić, gdy twoja planeta została zniszczona z powodu niepotrzebnej międzygalaktycznej obwodnicy, kobieta, którą kochasz, zniknęła wskutek nieporozumienia związanego z naturą czasoprzestrzeni, statek kosmiczny, którym podróżujesz, rozbił się na odległej planecie, a jedyne, co ci zostało, to umiejętność robienia kanapek. Jednak mimo to Artur Dent zaczyna trochę cieszyć się życiem i natychmiast rozpętuje się piekło. Czyta Maciej Więckowski

Trzecia cześć trylogii w pięciu częściach. Latanie to sztuka, a raczej sztuczka ? tak twierdzi przewodnik ?Autostopem przez Galaktykę?. Dowcip polega na tym, by nauczyć się rzucać na ziemię i nie trafić w nią. Z lotu ptaka wiele problemów i niebezpieczeństw wygląda całkiem inaczej ? zwłaszcza życie, wszechświat i cała reszta.

Funnier than Psycho . . . more chilling than Jeeves Takes Charge . . . shorter than War and Peace . . . the second Dirk Gently novel, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.

This all-new Target novelisation is based on the televised version of The Pirate PlanetThe hugely powerful Key to Time has been split into six segments, all of which have been disguised and hidden throughout time and space.

Jubileuszowe wydanie kultowej książki Douglasa Adamsa, z okazji 42. rocznicy pierwszej publikacji, zostało fenomenalnie zilustrowane przez Chrisa Riddella. Młody Ziemianin Arthur odkrywa, że jego przyjaciel Ford jest kosmitą, a Ziemia ma zostać zniszczona, ponieważ znajduje się na trasie planowanej międzygalaktycznej autostrady. Ford informuje go, że decyzja o tym została ogłoszona w galaktycznym urzędzie na planecie Alfa Centauri, a brak protestu ze strony Ziemian oznacza, że zgodzili się na to. Zniszczenie ojczystej planety to dopiero początek przygód Arthura, gdyż Ford zabiera go w podróż po Galaktyce, zbierając materiały do nowej edycji przewodnika Autostopem przez Galaktykę. W trakcie tej podróży, w towarzystwie neurotycznego robota Marvina, Arthur stara się rozwikłać największą zagadkę kosmosu oraz odpowiedzieć na pytanie o sens życia. „Ekstremalnie śmieszna powieść… Natchnione szaleństwo, które nie zostawia suchej nitki na niemal każdym frazesie rodem z science fiction” – „Washington Post”. „Niezdarny bohater, Arthur Dent, przypomina bohaterów Vonneguta, a jego podróże to dzika satyra na istniejące instytucje” – „Chicago Tribune”.

This beautifully illustrated edition of the New York Times bestselling classic celebrates the 42nd anniversary of the original publication—with all-new art by award-winning illustrator Chris Riddell. 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. . . .

Unter der Regentschaft des geheimnisvollen "Captain" ist Zanak ein zufriedener und wohlhabender Planet. Meistens. Wenn es in den Minen keine wertvollen Mineralien und Edelsteine mehr zum Schürfen gibt, genügt es völlig, dass der Captain ein neues goldenes Zeitalter verkündet, und sie füllen sich wieder. Ein Wirtschaftswunder - also kann da offensichtlich etwas nicht stimmen. Der Piratenplanet ist ein von James Goss verfasster Roman, der auf der 1978 geschriebenen Drehbuch von Douglas Adams basiert.

A special 42nd anniversary edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Original Radio Scripts by Douglas Adams with an introduction from Simon Jones.

The hugely powerful Key to Time has been split into six segments, all of which have been disguised and hidden throughout time and space. Now the even more powerful White Guardian wants the Doctor to find the pieces. With the first segment successfully retrieved, the Doctor, Romana and K-9 trace the second segment of the Key to the planet Calufrax. But when they arrive at exactly the right point in space, they find themselves on exactly the wrong planet – Zanak. Ruled by the mysterious ‘Captain’, Zanak is a happy and prosperous planet. Mostly. If the mines run out of valuable minerals and gems then the Captain merely announces a New Golden Age and they fill up again. It’s an economic miracle – so obviously something’s very wrong...

Rediscover the lost Doctor Who adventure by Douglas Adams.Intergalactic war? That’s just not cricket … or is it?The Doctor promised Romana the end of the universe, so she’s less than impressed when what she gets is a cricket match. But then the award ceremony is interrupted by eleven figures in white uniforms and peaked skull helmets, wielding bat-shaped weapons that fire lethal bolts of light into the screaming crowd. The Krikkitmen are back.Millions of years ago, the people of Krikkit learned they were not alone in the universe, and promptly launched a xenophobic crusade to wipe out all other life-forms. After a long and bloody conflict, the Time Lords imprisoned Krikkit within an envelope of Slow Time, a prison that could only be opened with the Wicket Gate key, a device that resembles – to human eyes, at least – an oversized set of cricket stumps…From Earth to Gallifrey, from Bethselamin to Devalin, from Krikkit to Mareeve II to the far edge of infinity, the Doctor and Romana are tugged into a pan-galactic conga with fate as they rush to stop the Krikkitmen gaining all five pieces of the key. If they fail, the entire cosmos faces a fiery retribution that will leave nothing but ashes…

Douglas Adams' mega-selling cult classic: now in one handy boxset that contains the complete The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy in five parts, charting the whole of Arthur Dent's odyssey through space and time.

Doktor vezme Romanu na prázdniny do Paříže, města, jež má, tak jako dobré víno, vlastní buket. Zvlášť pokud ho navštívíte v archivním ročníku. Tardis je ale zanese do roku 1979 – ročníku stolního vína, ročníku, který zkysnul kvůli prasklinám – ne v jejich sklenkách, ale v samotném předivu času. Pánové času se zapletou do mimozemšťanského spiknutí, ve kterém hrají roli po domácku vyrobené stroje času, krádež Mony Lisy, zmrtvýchvstání obávané rasy Jagarothů i začátek (a dost možná také konec) života na Zemi. Pokud má lidstvo přežít, musí Doktor s Romanou za pomoci britského policisty, který pro ránu nejde daleko, překazit pletichy záhadného hraběte Scarlioniho (všech dvanácti). Inu, takhle vypadá Doktorova obvyklá dovolená...

The Doctor takes Romana for a holiday in Paris âe" a city which, like a fine wine, has a bouquet all its own. Especially if you visit during one of the vintage years. But the TARDIS takes them to 1979, a table-wine year, a year whose vintage is soured by cracks âe" not in their wine glasses but in the very fabric of time itself. Soon the Time Lords are embroiled in an audacious alien scheme which encompasses home-made time machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, the resurrection of the much-feared Jagaroth race, and the beginning (and quite possibly the end) of all life on Earth. Aided by British private detective Duggan, whose speciality is thumping people, the Doctor and Romana must thwart the machinations of the suave, mysterious Count Scarlioni âe" all twelve of him âe" if the human race has any chance of survival. But then, the Doctorâe(tm)s holidays tend to turn out a bit like this. Featuring the Fourth Doctor as played by Tom Baker, City of Death is a novel by James Goss based on the 1979 Doctor Who story written by Douglas Adams under the pen-name David Agnew. City of Death is one of the best-loved serials in the showâe(tm)s 50-year history and was watched by over 16 million viewers when first broadcast.

SHADA basiert auf den Originaldrehbüchern, die der legendäre Douglas Adams für ein Doctor-Who-Abenteuer verfasste, das nie ausgestrahlt wurde. Ein Time Lord und alter Freund des Doktors namens Professor Chronotis hat sich an die Universität von Cambridge zurückgezogen, weil dort niemandem auffallen wird, dass er die Jahrhunderte überdauert. Als er Gallifrey verließ, nahm er das Verehrungswürdige und Uralte Gesetz von Gallifrey mit, eines der Artefakte, die aus Rassilons dunklem Zeitalter stammen. Es darf nicht in die falschen Hände fallen. Und der unheimliche Skagra hat definitiv die falschen Hände. Er will das Buch. Er will das Geheimnis von Shada lüften. Und er will den Verstand des Doktors … Douglas Adams starb im Mai 2001. Er ist der Autor von Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis. Gareth Roberts hat neun Doctor-Who-Romane geschrieben.

Oltre 700 episodi, 33 anni di programmazione: "Doctor Who" è la serie televisiva dei record, la più longeva saga fantascientifica di sempre. In queste pagine, Douglas Adams ci regala un'avventura inedita, mai portata sullo schermo né tradotta in italiano. Il Signore del Tempo professor Chronotis, vecchio amico del Dottore, si è ritirato all'università di Cambridge, dove nessuno si accorgerà mai che egli vive da secoli. Ma adesso ha bisogno dell'aiuto del Dottore, della sua giovane assistente Romana e di K-9, il suo fedele computer a forma di cane. Lasciando Gallifrey, il pianeta d'origine della potente specie dei Signori del Tempo, infatti, ha portato con sé alcuni souvenir, per lo più innocui. Ma ce n'è uno molto, molto pericoloso, L'antico e venerabile codice di Gallifrey, uno dei Potenti Artefatti, risalenti ai giorni oscuri di Rassilon: un libro che assolutamente non deve cadere nelle mani sbagliate. E quelle del sinistro Skagra sono le più sbagliate che si possano immaginare. Perché lui vuole quel libro a tutti i costi. Vuole che il professore gli sveli la verità nascosta dietro Shada, il misterioso pianeta-prigione dove vengono rinchiusi i criminali che tentano di conquistate l'universo. E si dà il caso che la conquista dell'universo è proprio il progetto di vita cui Skagra ha deciso di dedicarsi...

The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey is one of the Artefacts, dating from the dark days of Rassilon. It wields enormous power, and it must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands. Skagra, who believes he should be God and permits himself only two smiles per day, most definitely has the wrong hands.

"And Another Thing ..." will be the sixth novel in the now improbably named "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, the author's widow, Jane Belson, has given her approval for the project to be continued by the international number one bestselling children's writer, Eoin Colfer, author of the "Artemis Fowl" novels. Douglas Adams himself once said, 'I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number.' Belson said of Eoin Colfer, 'I love his books and could not think of a better person to transport Arthur, Zaphod and Marvin to pastures new.' Colfer, a fan of Hitchhiker since his schooldays, said, 'Being given the chance to write this book is like suddenly being offered the superpower of your choice. For years I have been finishing this incredible story in my head and now I have the opportunity to do it in the real world.' Prepare to be amazed...

Adams's beloved and enduring sci-fi/comedy classic is now available in this beautiful, clothbound, elegantly presented book, filled with never-before-published material, original scripts from the BBC radio series, and much more to please any fan.

Una gigantesca autostrada cosmica sta per essere costruita nei pressi del sistema solare. Un'uscita secondaria è prevista vicino a un piccolo pianeta azzurro-verde, abitato da primitive forme di vita intelligente, discendenti dalle scimmie. Un pianeta vecchio e inutile, insomma, che va rimosso. Viene a saperlo Ford Perfect, un alieno in incognito sulla Terra. Che fare? Abbandonare al più presto il pianeta in demolizione alla ricerca di lidi più sicuri. E così, in compagnia dell'amico umano Arthur Dent, dell'ex presidente della galassia Zaphod Beeblebrox, del lunatico androide Marvin e della sensuale profuga Trillian, Ford inizia le sue peregrinazioni attraverso l'universo. Alla ricerca di un ultimo angolo caldo dove poter gustare una buona cena, e dove il cibo "letteralmente" parla. L'irresistibile seguito di Guida galattica per autostoppisti , un capolavoro della science fiction del ventesimo secolo.

From the unfathomable imagination of Douglas Adams, this is his internationally bestselling final book: a zany collection of essays, articles, anecdotes, and stories.

Den kompletta samlingen för alla beundrare av Arthur Dent och rymdvarelsen Ford Prefect. Volym 1-5 innehåller Liftarens guide till galaxen, Restaurangen vid slutet av universum, Livet, universum och allting, Ajöss och tack för fisken och I stort sett menlös.

« 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 galatique", décidémment irremplaçable, dévoilera enfin tous les mystères d'une odysée digne des plus belles pages de Marx - Groucho Marx - ; entre autres, les raisons de la destuction approximative de la Terre, cette petite planète honteusement qualifiée de "globalement inoffensive". »

The record of an odyssey by a zoologist and a zoologically-innocent comic novelist. It began in 1985 with a search for a rare lemur in Madagascar and went on to include expeditions which witnessed fruitbats, man-eating lizards, gorillas, a blind dolphin and the most inept parrot, the kakapot.

Kniha obsahuje 2 romány: Stopařův průvodce po Galaxii a Restaurant na konci vesmíru.

Das Wörterbuch, auf das Sie schon immer gewartet haben! Dieses klassische Nachschlagewerk hilft stets zuverlässig aus jedem verbalen Engpass und so mancher Lebenskrise. Vom Autor der Kultserie „Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis“.

Lorsqu'un comptoir d'embarquement au terminal 2 de l'aéroport de Londres, un si joli petit aéroport pourtant, saute à travers le toit dans une boule de flammes orange, ce sont toujours les mêmes qui veulent revendiquer la responsabilité de l'événement. D'abord l'IRA, puis l'OLP, puis la Compagnie du gaz. Même le Commissariat à l'Énergie atomique s'empresse de publier un communiqué affirmant que la situation est parfaitement maîtrisée, qu'un pareil accident a une chance sur un million de se produire, qu'il n'y a pratiquement aucune fuite radioactive, que le site même de l'explosion ferait un charmant lieu de pique-nique pour les enfants des écoles, etc., avant d'être obligé de convenir qu'il n'y est pour rien. On ne peut trouver à la catastrophe aucune explication rationnelle : on y voit simplement la main de Dieu. Mais quel dieu ? se demande Dirk Gently, le détective holistique. Et pourquoi ? Que ferait donc un dieu au terminal 2 de l'aéroport de Londres à attendre le vol de 15 h 37 pour Oslo ? Plus drôle que Frankenstein, plus court que Guerre et Paix, plus sanglant que Harry Potter, un monument littéraire réellement inégalable. Dieu merci.

Detective Gently whizzes about the world, the universe, and time itself as a group of eccentric characters help him find an eccentric cat, solve a murder, and save the human race.

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, laissant pour ultime message un laconique Salut, et encore merci pour le poisson ?

This is a 5-book box set of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series by Douglas Adams, presented in paperback format.

In life and, indeed, in liff, there are many hundreds of common experiences, feelings, situations and even objects which we all know and recognize, but for which no words exist. This text uses place names to describe some of these meanings.

In consequence of a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable cave on prehistoric Earth. However, just as he thinks that things cannot get possibly worse, they suddenly do. He discovers that the Galaxy is not only mind-boggingly big and bewildering but also that most of the things that happen in it are staggeringly unfair. VOLUME THREE IN THE TRILOGY OF FIVE.

La cuisine anglaise est exécrable. Moins abominable, cependant, que la poésie des Vogons, un peuple fier, ombrageux, et éminemment irritable. D'ailleurs, les Vogons ont fait sauter la planète Terre, soi-disant par erreur. Pas de panique ! Grâce au fabuleux Guide du voyageur galactique, le pauvre Arthur Dent, ex-citoyen britannique désormais apatride et passablement désemparé devant tant d'inconvenance, pourra affronter sans crainte les improbables méandres d'un univers en folie. Rien ne l'empêchera, pas même un ascenseur dépressif, d'arriver à temps pour déguster le Plat du jour au Dernier Restaurant avant la Fin du Monde.

Comment garder tout son flegme quand on apprend dans la meme journée: que sa maison va etre abattue dans la minute pour laisser place a une déviation d'autoroute; que la Terre va etre détruite d'ici deux minutes, se trouvant, coincidence malheureuse, sur le tracé d'une future voie express intergalactique; que son meilleur ami, certes délicieusement décalé, est en fait un astrostoppeur natif de Bételgeuse et s'apprete a vous entraîner aux confins de la galaxie? Pas de panique! Car Arthur Dent, un Anglais extraordinairement moyen, pourra compter sur le fabuleux Guide du voyageur galactique pour l'accompagner clans ses extraordinaires dérapages spatiaux moyennement contrôlés.
