Douglas Adams is the author of five books in the Hitchhiker's Trilogy including The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; Life, the Universe and Everything; So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; and Mostly Harmless. He lives in London.
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 fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor.
Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide ("A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have") and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox--the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years.
Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And don't forget to bring a towel!
有两个原因让《银河系漫游指南》超过《银河系百科全书》,成为所有知识和智慧的标准:“第一,它稍微便宜一点儿;第二、它的封面上以大而友善的字体写着:不要恐慌。” 不幸的是,在我们这个世界上的这本同名出版物的封面上,却找不到这四个字——连一点相关的暗示也没有。 ...
評分这是对我自己说的话,因为我个人的庸俗和稀缺的幽默感都让我无法能够理解充斥在这本书中的荒诞。 很大程度上,最终支持我或者说强迫自己读到最后的唯一理由是:那么多人的推荐一定是有道理的。抛开人与人之间的阅读差异和文化偏差的因素,普遍的推荐总是存在一般的无偏差的推...
評分我必须承认,我之所以会去看《银河系漫游指南》这套书,是因为我喜欢《银河系漫游指南》这电影;我也必须承认,我之所以会去看《银河系漫游指南》这电影,是因为我喜欢那个大脑袋机器人。 是的,电影非常有趣,是近几年少有的既疯狂怪诞、又幽默智慧的电影。不过,书其实更有趣...
評分《银河系漫游指南》的小说很好看,比电影好看10倍。 它是一个叫道格拉斯·亚当斯的人写的,他当过阿拉伯王公的保镖,准备着一旦有人举着鸡蛋或者炸弹尖叫着跑过来,就立刻鼠窜,他客串过PINKFLOYD的吉他手,因为跟乐队成员是好朋友,他还做过鸡场清洁工,一个扫鸡粪的。。。 ...
評分时至如今,科幻小说在许多人眼中仍是荒诞的代表,科幻小说中描写的太空帝国(如阿西莫夫《基地》》、机器人(如阿西莫夫《我,机器人》)或对外太空的探索(如罗宾逊《红火星》),显得是那么遥不可及、不可思议。事实上科幻小说并不荒诞,尽管它仍未有一个完全明确的定义,但...
2014年…OK…我等你…
评分2014年…OK…我等你…
评分放棄中文版轉讀英文版的決定是對的。翻譯以後幽默全沒瞭,而這書沒瞭幽默也就不存在瞭。前8章讀的,後麵的聽的audio版本。雖然很好玩,但我發現如果睡前聽很催眠。。
评分don't panic
评分哈哈哈,“I talked to the computer about my view on the universe, and it committed suicide."
