In consequence of a number of stunning catastrophes, Arthur Dent is surprised to find himself living in a hideously miserable cave on prehistoric Earth. And just when he thinks things cannot possibly get any worse, they do. He discovers that not only is the Galaxy mind-bogglingly big and bewildering, but also that most of the things that happen in it are staggeringly unfair...The final part of the original Hitch Hiker's Guide trilogy confirms Douglas Adams as one of the most original and funniest of Britain's comic writers.

One Thursday lunchtime Earth is unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this is already more than he can cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun. And the Galaxy is a very, very large and startling place indeed... THE HITCH HIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY became a massive cult success when it was first published and continues to sell all over the world. It introduced such memorable characters as Arthur Dent, Marvin the Paranoid Android, Zaphod Beeblebrox and, of course, the Vogons, and remains one of the funniest, most irreverent and entertaining novels ever.

Una gigantesca autostrada cosmica sta per essere costruita nei pressi del sistema solare. Un'uscita secondaria è prevista nei pressi di un piccolo pianeta azzurro-verde, abitato da primitive forme di vita intelligenti, discendenti dalle scimmie. Un pianeta vecchio e inutile, insomma, che va rimosso. Viene a saperlo Ford Prefect, 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.

The Washington Post Book World 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 curious 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. 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' sardonically silly eyes.»
