The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
An international phenomenon and pop-culture classic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been a radio show, TV series, novel, stage play, comic book and film. Following the galactic (mis)adventures of Arthur Dent, Hitchhiker's in its various incarnations has captured the imaginations of curious minds around the world . . .
It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed, in large friendly letters, with the words: DON'T PANIC.
The weekend has only just begun . . .
Smysl Životic
Už vás někdy bolelo jalubí? Cítíte se poněkud nesví před dámou, která má krásné násavrky? A jestlipak máte mezi svými přáteli nějakého škrováda? Na tyto a spoustu další hlavolamných otázek vám pomůže odpovědět Smysl Životic, geniální kříženec výkladového slovníku a seznamu místních jmen, který sepsal Douglas Adams, autor celovesmírně proslaveného Stopařova průvodce Galaxií, spolu s kolegou Johnem Lloydem. Adams si uvědomil, že ve světě kolem nás i v naší mysli existuje spousta předmětů, situací, pocitů a vjemů, pro které jazyk dosud nemá žádné pojmenování, a rozhodl se tato bílá místa v popisu naší reality zaplnit. Knihu kongeniálně doplňují ilustrace výtvarníka Vladimíra Chalupy.

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
'One of the greatest achievements in comedy. A work of staggering genius' - David Walliams
Gorgeous 42nd Anniversary gift edition of Douglas Adams's pop-culture classic, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, stunningly illustrated throughout by Costa Award-winner Chris Riddell.
It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace express route, and Arthur's best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and a book inscribed in large, friendly letters: DON'T PANIC.
The book is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the weekend has only just begun . . .
Douglas Adams's mega-selling pop-culture classic sends logic into orbit, plays havoc with physics and twists time, but most importantly it's very, very funny.
The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul
The second Dirk Gently book by Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is a witty detective story perfect for fans of his phenomenally successful The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
When a passenger check-in desk at Terminal Two, Heathrow Airport, shot up through the roof engulfed in a ball of orange flame, the usual people tried to claim responsibility. First the IRA, then the PLO and the Gas Board. Even British Nuclear Fuels rushed out a statement to the effect that the situation was completely under control, that it was a one in a million chance, that there was hardly any radioactive leakage at all and that the site of the explosion would make a nice location for a day out with the kids and a picnic, before finally having to admit that it wasn't actually anything to do with them at all.
No rational cause could be found for the explosion - it was simply designated an act of God. But, thinks Dirk Gently, which God? And why? What God would be hanging around Terminal Two of Heathrow Airport trying to catch the 15:37 to Oslo?
'A thumping good detective-ghost-horror-who dunnit-time travel-romantic-musical-comedy-epic' - Douglas Adams, on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Continue this surreal series with the unfinished The Salmon of Doubt.
The Salmon of Doubt
The Salmon of Doubt is Douglas Adams's indispensable guide to life, the universe and everything. It includes short stories and eleven chapters of a Dirk Gently novel that Douglas Adams was working on at the time of his death, and features an introduction by Stephen Fry.
This sublime collection dips into the wit and wisdom of the man behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, uncovering his unique comic musings on everything from his school-trousers to malt whisky and from the letter Y through to his own nose, via atheism, hangovers and fried eggs.
These hilarious collected writings reveal the warmth, enthusiasm and ferocious intelligence behind this most English of comic writers; a man who was virtually an unofficial member of the Monty Python team.
Douglas Adams on his passion for P. G. Wodehouse, The Beatles and the perfect cup of tea alone make this a must-have collection and a remarkable sign-off from one of the best loved writers of all time.
Start from the beginning of the surreal Dirk Gently series with Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Galaxis Útikalauz stopposoknak - A világ leghosszabb trilógiája öt részben
Ez a történet a szörnyen ostoba csütörtökről és a rendkívüli következményeiről szól, és arról, hogy miért sokkal biztonságosabb a világegyetem, ha van nálunk egy törülköző. Ez a történet emellett egy könyvről is szól, melynek címe: GALAXIS Útikalauz stopposoknak. Ez nem földi könyv, sosem adták ki a Földön, és a szörnyű katasztrófát megelőzően egyetlen földlakó se látta vagy hallott róla. A könyv mindazonáltal szerfelett figyelemreméltó. Valószínűleg ez a legfigyelemreméltóbb könyv, ami csak napvilágot látott a Kisgöncöl óriási kiadóhivatalainak gondozásában - bár a földlakók ezekről se hallottak. Ez a könyv nem csupán hallatlanul figyelemreméltó, hanem elképesztően sikeres is. Népszerűbb, mint a Mennyei Házi Mindentudó, jobban fogy, mint a Hatvanhárom További Figura Súlytalanság Esetére című illusztrált kiadvány, és ellentmondásosabb, mint Oolon Coluphid filozófiai bombaként robbanó trilógiája: a Hol Tévedett Isten,a Még Néhány Isten Legsúlyosabb Tévedéseiből és a Végül Is Kicsoda Ez Az Isten Egyáltalán? A Galaxis Külső Peremének néhány liberálisabb civilizációja számára a GALAXIS Útikalauz már kiszorította a hatalmas Encyclopaedia Galacticát, s egydül tölti be az összes tudás és bölcsesség tárházának szerepét, mert noha sok benne a hézag, és tele van kétes, de legalábbis üvöltően pontatlan adattal, két fontos vonatkozásban felülmúlja kevésbé szárnyaló elődjét. Egyrészt némileg olcsóbb. Másrészt borítóján a következő szavak láthatók, szép nagy betűkkel szedve: NE ESS PÁNIKBA!

Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams, author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is a much-loved cult classic, that has spawned radio dramas, television, theatre and comic book adaptations across the globe.
What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over two hundred years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common?
Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza - not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge).
To find out more, read this book (better still, buy it then read it) - or contact Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

Román je druhým případem nekonvenčního šerloka Dirka Gentlyho, kterého Adams stvořil ve chvíli, kdy si potřeboval oddychnout od Stopařova průvodce Galaxií. Dirk Gently, jehož pozoruhodná pátrací metoda opřená o přesvědčení, že všechny věci spolu více či méně zjevně souvisejí, přinesla mnohé ovoce (včetně záchrany světa) už v jeho prvním případě (viz Holistická detektivní kancelář Dirka Gentlyho, Argo 2003). V Dlouhém temné čase svačiny duše je tato metoda s úspěchem aplikována znovu, aby rozkryla tajemné okolnosti týkající se ledničky, nápojového automatu, letištní přepážky, jež sama sebe obětuje, a ásgardských bohů, zastupovaných zejména bojovným Thórem.

Na prvý pohľad nie veľa - to však iba do chvíle, keď sa svojrázny súkromný detektív Dirk Gently rozhodne dokázať skutočnosť, že na najzákladnejšej rovine všetko so všetkým súvisí. Pritom vyrieši záhadnú vraždu, pomôže čudesnému profesorovi, odhalí tajne tajomné tajomstvo a skonzumuje množstvo pizze, nehovoriac už o drobnej bokovke v podobe záchrany ľudstva pred zničením (bez akýchkoľvek dodatočných príplatkov).
