  1. 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.

  2. Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series! “Douglas Adams is a terrific satirist.”—The Washington Post Book World Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons? Time for a cup of tea! Join the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his uncommon comrades in arms in their desperate search for a place to eat, as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability. 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. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food speaks for itself (literally). Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that The Hitchhiker’s Guide deleted the term “Future Perfect” from its pages, since it was discovered not to be! “What’s such fun is how amusing the galaxy looks through Adams’s sardonically silly eyes.”—Detroit Free Press

  3. Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series! “Wild satire . . . The feckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut heroes.”—Chicago Tribune 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 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-president of the galaxy; 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! “Adams is one of those rare treasures: an author who, one senses, has as much fun writing as one has reading.”—Arizona Daily Star

  4. The fourth adventure in the bestselling "Hitchhiker's" series brings Arthur Dent back to Earth with nothing more to show for his long, strange travel than a ratty towel, a plastic shopping bag, and the belief it was all a figment of his stressed-out imagination.

  5. alternate cover for this ISBN can be found here The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has, in what we laughingly call the past, had a great deal to say on the subject of parallel universes. Very little of this, however, at all comprehensible to anyone below the level of Advanced God and, since it is now well-established that all known gods came into existence a good three millionths of a second after the Universe began rather than, as they usually claimed, the previous week, they already have a great deal of explaining to do as it is, and are therefore not available for comment at this time... The book that gives a whole new meaning to the world 'trilogy'.

    "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...

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.
