Pětidílná stopařská trilogie, kterou autor původně koncipoval jako rozhlasovou hru pro stanici BBC. Tato bravurní parodie na sci-fi je dnes již klasické dílo. Komplikovaný a originální příběh začíná zničením Země, která musí udělat místo nové galaktické dálnici. Hlavní hrdina příběhu, docela obyčejný, ale sympatický pozemšťan jménem Arthur Dent, má to štěstí, že s pomocí svého přítele Forda Prefecta, údajně nezaměstnaného herce, z nehož se vyklube mimozemšťan, stopne kosmickou loď, a tak se mu podaří uniknout z místa katastrofy. Ilustrované vydání v boxu.
Compiled from more than four hundred hours of channeling by Barbara Marciniak, Bringers of the Dawn imparts to us the wisdom of the Pleiadians, a group of enlightened beings who have come to Earth to help us discover how to reach a new stage of evolution. Master storytellers and humorists, they advise us to become media free, to work in teams, and to eliminate the words "should" and "try" from our vocabularies. We learn how to go beyond fear, how the original human was a magnificent being with twelve strands of DNA and twelve chakra centers, and who our "gods" are. Startling, intense, intelligent, and controversial, these teachings offer essential reading for anyone questioning their existence on this planet and the direction of our collective conscious--and unconscious. By remembering that we are Family of Light, that we share an ancient ancestry with the universe around us, we become "bringers of the dawn," consciously creating a new reality, a new Earth.

Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. 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 who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.
Pohádkový příběh, který čtenáře vtáhne do kouzelného světa skřítků, kouzel a pozoruhodných stvoření. V tomhle příběhu skřítci zachrání svůj důlní svět plný drahokamů.
The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads--so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the white killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler, who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing ; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it ; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe ; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert "universal" Armageddon and save life as we know it--and don't know it.
Just when Arthur Dent`s sense of reality is at its most clouded, he suddenly finds the girl of his dreams. He finds her in the last place in the Universe in which he would expect to find anything at all, but which 3,976,000,000 people will find oddly familiar. They go in search of God`s Final Message to His Creation and, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it. VOLUME FOUR IN THE TRILOGY OF FIVE
Sequel to Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. A passenger check-in desk at London's Heathrow Airport goes up in a ball of flame and Dirk Gently becomes very inquisitive.
La historia de esta novela es muy curiosa. Primero fue una serie radiofónica de la BBC, lanzada casi subrepticiamente, pero que rápidamente alcanzó una gran popularidad. Posteriormente, se publicó en forma de libro, logrando un éxito fulminante, con 2 millones de ejemplares vendidos en tres años en la edición inglesa y 650.000 en Estados Unidos en los primeros seis meses tras su lanzamiento en 1980. Se han realizado discos, adaptaciones teatrales, series televisivas y gadgets relacionados con este libro y sus tres secuelas. Douglas Adams ha sido comparado con el grupo Monty Python, Kurt Vonnegut, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear y Jonathan Swift. La acción comienza justo antes de la inesperada demolición de la Tierra para dar paso a una autopista hiperespacial. Arthur Dent, un hombre común, se salva gracias a su amigo Ford Prefect, un extraterrestre con apariencia humana. Ambos logran colarse como polizones en una nave de los temibles Vogones, burócratas verdes con una terrible inclinación hacia la poesía atroz, quienes los expulsan al espacio. Tras su rescate por un pirata esquizoide de dos cabezas y tres brazos, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Presidente de la Galaxia, se embarcan en desopilantes aventuras, conociendo a otros personajes singulares, como Marvin, el Androide Paranoide, extraordinariamente inteligente y profundamente melancólico.
