Packed with an Astounding Amount of New and Never-Before-Collected Material.

Why are people born? Why do they die? Why do they want to spend so much of the intervening time wearing digital watches?

No one but Douglas Adams could have pared life’s meaning down to these three questions, and they remain as inspired and head-scratchingly clever today as they did twenty-five years ago when they appeared in the first edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Showcasing his quick wit, comic genius, and wide-ranging intelligence, Hitchhiker’s has become nothing less than a cult classic and cultural phenomenon.

To celebrate its quarter century and the extraordinary legacy of Adams, this gorgeously designed, mostly harmless deluxe edition gathers never-before-collected photographs, original artwork, memorabilia (from the strange to the sublime), and wisdom gleaned from a first read or first encounter as Douglas’s friends remember how the galaxy was forever changed a mere twenty-five years ago (not to mention the original text of the novel) into a one-of-a-kind Guide as stunning as two suns setting over Magrathea.

Whether you are well versed in the antics of Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered Earthman plucked from his planet seconds before it’s demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, and Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy posing as an out-of-work actor, or are hitching a ride for the first time, this is the book that has everything you’ll nee to know about anything.So please do not be alarmed. Definitely don’t panic. Just be sure to grab a towel.

读后感

尊敬的各位编委会委员大人： 首先致以已经消亡的地球上最热烈的拥抱，无论我的拥抱够到的是你们的脚趾还是你们眼睛正对着我的脚趾。 在地球上，亚瑟的房屋将因镇政府修筑高速公路的旁道而被拆迁；在银河系中，地球将因银河超空间规划委员会的超空间快速通道计划而被摧毁；如...  

徐百柯是谁？哪里来这么个人？难道是以前希望出版社的垃圾编辑出身？这种翻译水平居然会让他连译了两本！两本！《银河系漫游指南》和《宇宙尽头的餐厅》！当之无愧的名著谋杀者！  

可以说，这本书和村上春树，基本影响了我的写作风格和喜好，这种将严肃的压得人透不气来的故事，描写成轻松愉快自嘲的文学，实在是我个人最大的偏爱。 中国人是个无法自嘲的民族，出了国之后和老外接触多了之后，尤其感觉到了这一点，要知道，无法自嘲的民族，还包括伊斯兰教...  

上礼拜我扬言要开始练习写书评~还提前拜托别人到时候帮忙阅览什么的，惭愧，事情当然是没做，连写哪本都决定不了。这也爱那也爱，更严重的是这也不记得具体情节了那个不记得当时感悟了，读书体会在长长短短的时间后成沉淀为“好看”而已。巨丢脸~ 然后今天看到了马文，既然都末...  

在银河系西螺旋臂的末端那片未曾标明的寂静虚空中，悬挂着—颗不被人注意的小小的黄色太阳。 Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. （什么叫做“未曾标明”？uncharte...
