One Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be more than he can cope with.

Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last 15 years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.

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.

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.

There is a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. It’s not an easy thing to do and Arthur Dent thinks he’s the only human who’s been able to master this nifty little trick - until he meets Fenchurch, the girl of his dreams. Fenchurch knows how the world could be made a good and happy place. Unfortunately she’s forgotten. Convinced that the secret lies within God’s Final Message to His Creation they go in search of it. And in a dramatic break with tradition - actually find it....

If you’ve done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? Which is exactly what the crew of the Heart of Gold plan to do. There’s just the small matter of escaping the Vogons, avoiding being taken to the most totally evil world in the Galaxy and teaching a space ship how to make a proper cup of tea. And did anyone actually make a reservation?

One night in 1995, author Douglas Adams kidnapped an audience and held them hostage for 70 minutes at London's Almeida Theatre. The audience members were subjected to Adams's dramatic solo performances of excerpts and scenes from his wildly funny, wildly popular books The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, and Life, the Universe and Everything. LEARN how to fly! HEAR about Arthur and the Irrational Sofa! GROAN at Marvin's escapade with the Frogstar Battle Robot! Just keep laughing and nobody will get hurt!

Arthur Dent, un tipo de lo más corriente que esa misma mañana ha visto cómo echaban abajo su propia casa, considera que eso supera lo que una persona puede soportar. Pero, desgraciadamente, el fin de semana no ha hecho más que empezar, y la galaxia es un lugar extraño y sorprendente.

Looking forward to a quiet life, his plans are thrown awry by the unexpected arrival of his daughter.

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.

Este é o primeiro título da famosa série escrita por Douglas Adams, que conta as aventuras espaciais do inglês Arthur Dent e de seu amigo Ford Prefect. A dupla escapa da destruição da Terra pegando carona numa nave alienígena, graças aos conhecimentos de Prefect, um E.T. que vivia disfarçado de ator desempregado enquanto fazia pesquisa de campo para a nova edição do Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias, o melhor guia de viagens interplanetário.

A dynamic remastering of the original BBC Radio 4 full-cast serial - Fit the First to Fit the Sixth - which spawned a phenomenal hitchhiking legend. The original series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, remastered by Dirk Maggs (director of the Tertiary, Quandary and Quintessential Phases) to give a full, vibrant sound, now with Philip Pope’s version of the familiar theme tune and specially re-recorded announcements by John Marsh.

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.

In The Time Meddler, the turbulent English coastline in 1066 is the scene of a troubled encounter between the Meddling Monk and the First Doctor, Steven and Vicki. In The Deadly Assassin, the Fourth Doctor returns to Gallifrey and is framed for presidential murder. In Shada, the Fourth Doctor and Romana visit their old friend, the retired Time Lord Professor Chronotis, at Cambridge University. In The Mark of the Rani, the TARDIS lands the Sixth Doctor and Peri in the Industrial Revolution.

En La vida, el universo y todo lo demás prosiguen las cósmicas y cómicas aventuras iniciadas en la Guía del autoestopista galáctico y El restaurante del fin del mundo, la universalmente aclamada «trilogía en cinco partes», cuyos volúmenes (no nos cansaremos de repetirlo) pueden leerse de forma independiente, que se completa con Hasta luego, y gracias por el pescado e Informe sobre la Tierra: fundamentalmente inofensiva.

Praticamente Inofensiva é tão polêmico quanto seu criador. Muitos o consideram o último volume da série O Mochileiro das Galáxias e outros afirmam tratar-se de um título independente, que apenas utiliza os mesmos personagens. Parte dessa controvérsia se deve aos 13 anos que separam este livro da primeira aventura de Arthur Dent, já que Adams iniciou a coleção no final dos anos 1970 e somente em 1992 retomou a história.

Depois de oito anos vagando pelos mais insondáveis cantos da Galáxia, Arthur Dent está de volta à Terra e tudo parece estranhamente normal. Todas as coisas estão em seus devidos lugares–sua casa, seu emprego, seu planeta–e é justamente por isso que ele começa a desconfiar de que ou ficou completamente maluco e tudo não passou de uma grande alucinação ou algo de muito mais estranho do que viagens espaciais a bordo de naves alienígenas poderia estar acontecendo.

Ford Prefect, Arthur Dent, Trillian, Zaphod Beeblebrox y Marvin, el Androide Paranoide, se enfrentan a una tetera automática de la que sólo mana un líquido asqueroso, al planeta condenado porque sus habitantes se empeñaron en tener más zapaterías de la cuenta, a un olvidado transporte espacial cuyos pasajeros, debido a toda clase de estúpidos retrasos, llevan novecientos años esperando que la nave arranque y, luego, al Restaurante del Fin del Mundo, situado en el momento del tiempo en el que el universo entero llega a su estrepitoso final

Após as loucas aventuras vividas com seus estranhos amigos em O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias e O Restaurante no Fim do Universo, Arthur Dent ficou cinco anos abandonado na Terra Pré-Histórica. Mesmo depois de tanto tempo, ele ainda acordava todas as manhãs com um grito de horror por estar preso àquela monótona e assustadora rotina. Talvez Arthur até preferisse continuar isolado em sua caverna escura, úmida e fedorenta a encarar a próxima aventura para a qual seria forçosamente arrastado: salvar o Universo dos temíveis robôs xenófobos do planeta Krikkit.
