Daumen raus und anschnallen für eine aberwitzige Reise durch die Galaxis: "Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis" von Douglas Adams ist Kult. Die geniale Mischung aus Satire, Science Fiction und Komödie sprüht vor überraschenden Wendungen und kreativen Ideen.

The Doctor's old friend and fellow Time Lord Professor Chronotis has retired to Cambridge University - where nobody will notice if he lives for centuries. But now he needs help from the Doctor, Romana, and K-9. When he left Gallifrey he took with him a few little souvenirs - most of them are harmless. But one of them is extremely dangerous. The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey isn't a book for Time Tots.It must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

Arthur Dent hat einen echt miesen Tag. Erst soll sein Haus abgerissen werden, um einer Umgehungsstraße Platz zu machen, und dann wird auch noch die gesamte Erde zerstört...

Dirk Gently has an unshakeable belief in the interconnectedness of all things, but his Holistic Detective Agency mainly succeeds in tracking down missing cats for old ladies. Then Dirk stumbles upon an old friend behaving bizarrely - and he's drawn into a four-billion-year-old mystery that must be solved if the human race is to avoid immediate extinction.

The brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast series based on And Another Thing… the sixth book in the famous Hitchhiker’s Guide 'trilogy'. Forty years on from the first ever radio series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Arthur Dent and friends return in six brand new episodes, in which they are thrown back into the Whole General Mish Mash in a rattling adventure involving Viking Gods and Irish Confidence Tricksters, with our first glimpse of Eccentrica Gallumbits and a brief but memorable moment with The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast Of Traal.

Endlich wieder auf der Erde! Arthur Dent ist gut gelandet. Einziger Haken: Er ist zwei Millionen Jahre früher in einer Steinzeithöhle gestrandet...

"Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis" ist nicht nur absurd und komisch, grell und aberwitzig, sondern (was eigentlich dasselbe ist) philosophisch...

Stranded on Prehistoric Earth since the end of the first series, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect are once again trying to hitch their way off the planet. Zaphod finds his visit to the offices of the Guide rudely interrupted by Frogstar fighters, who further threaten to feed him to the Total Perspective Vortex. Eventually reunited, the three fetch up on the planet Brontitall and discover the indigenous species in something of a flap. Arthur meets Lintilla (several of her), Marvin gets to be a hero once again, and there is a meeting with the Man in the Shack who apparently runs the Universe....

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 galactique", décidément irremplaçable, dévoilera enfin tous les mystères d'une odyssée digne des plus belles pages de Marx - Groucho Marx - ; entre autres.

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.

Pourquoi le tristement anonyme Arthur Dent se promène-t-il outrageusement affublé d'un sac en peau de lapin, un os dans le nez, au beau milieu d'une finale de cricket ? Et que fait Marvin, l'androïde dépressif, à asséner ses considérations suicidaires aux improbables habitants des marécages de Squornshellous Zeta ? Pas de panique ! Car l'inénarrable, l'irremplaçable "Guide du voyageur galactique" saura une fois encore tirer d'affaire nos malheureux astro-stoppeurs égarés.

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 galactique", le pauvre Arthur Accroc, ex-citoyen britannique désormais apatride et passablement désemparé devant tant d'inconvenance, pourra affronter sans crainte les improbables méandres d'un univers en folie.

Comment garder tout son flegme quand on apprend dans la même journée : que sa maison va être abattue dans la minute pour laisser place à une déviation d'autoroute ; que la Terre va être détruite d'ici deux minutes, se trouvant, coïncidence 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'apprête à vous entraîner aux confins de la galaxie ? Pas de panique !

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 K9 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.

In 1985, The Observer magazine sent Douglas Adams to Madagascar to look for the exotic and potentially extinct aye-aye lemur. There he met zoologist Mark Carwardine, and together they made a radio pilot about their travels, In Search of the Aye-Aye. This led to a hugely popular radio series, Last Chance to See, later adapted as a best-selling book. Douglas Adams died in 2001, but his friend Stephen Fry took his place for a follow-up 20th anniversary television series, broadcast on BBC Two in 2009.

The complete BBC Radio collection bringing together two full-cast dramatisations of Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently novels. In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency Dirk Gently has an unshakable belief in the interconnectedness of all things, but his Holistic Detective Agency mainly succeeds in tracking down missing cats for old ladies. Then Dirk stumbles upon an old friend behaving bizarrely - and he's drawn into a four-billion-year-old mystery that must be solved if the human race is to avoid immediate extinction....

In this book, Adams’ self-proclaimed favourite of his own works, the pair encounter animals in imminent peril: the giant Komodo dragon of Indonesia, the lovable kakapo of New Zealand, the blind river dolphins of China, the white rhinos of Zaire, the rare birds of Mauritius island in the Indian Ocean and the alien-like aye-aye of Madagascar. Inimitably witty and poignant, Last Chance to See is both a celebration of our most extraordinary creatures and a warning about what we have to lose if we do not act soon.

A classic TV soundtrack adventure starring Tom Baker. The TARDIS materialises on a planet where the age of prosperity comes often, and precious jewels line the streets like litter. Overseeing the citizens is the bombastic Captain, half human and half machine. Lurking in shadows are the Mentiads, mysterious cowled figures who set their sights on certain individuals and claim them for their own.

When L. Frank Baum introduced Dorothy and friends to the American public in 1900, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz became an instant, best-selling hit. Today the whimsical tale remains a cultural phenomenon that continues to spawn wildly popular books, movies, and musicals. Now, editors John Joseph Adams and Douglas Cohen have brought together leading fantasy writers such as Orson Scott Card and Jane Yolen to create the ultimate anthology for Oz fans.

Stranded on prehistoric Earth, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect find escape in the form of a time-travelling sofa. But as eleven homicidal, bat-wielding robots proceed to blow up Lord’s Cricket Ground, it seems that Arthur is far from Home and Dry. In fact, he is not even Home and Vigorously Towelling Himself. Off. Soon he is on an explosive quest to save the Universe, equipped with only a rabbit bone, a worn dressing gown, and a spaceship which looks remarkably like an Italian bistro.
