內容簡介

內容簡介 一齣單純的科幻廣播喜劇，如何紅到所有人期待它的續集——出版3個月內狂銷25萬本Google的加州總部取名自它IBM的超級電腦命名繆思Siri用它回答永恆的大哉問英國BBC「大閱讀」票選百本最受讀者喜愛的小說第四名（僅落後《魔戒》等、打敗《哈利波特4》）圖書館把它列為青少年必讀書單……年輕時帶著「歐洲便車指南」遊歐洲結果大迷路的道格拉斯‧亞當斯（被書迷暱稱DNA），有天喝醉了躺在路邊的草地上，看著天空胡思亂想：如果有一天要到銀河去旅遊，也該要有一本旅遊指南吧，所以創作了這系列的小說。《銀河便車指南》：不是地球上的書，從來沒在地球出版過，即便如此，這不只是本極為出色的書，同時也是超級暢銷書——《銀河便車指南》已經取代了偉大的《大銀河百科全書》，成為所有知識和智慧的標準寶庫；雖然它有不少疏漏和謬誤，卻仍在兩處要點上勝過那陳舊且乏味的大百科。第一，它稍稍便宜一點點；第二，它的封面上有兩個友善的大字：別慌。貼心的叮嚀：印著「別慌」（Don’t Panic）的小儀器，當然就是電子書了！整個宇宙這麼大，如果印成書，那會是好幾棟房子那麼多的書；因此「別慌」也很貼切，在陌生的國度與星球，不管發生什麼事——都不要慌。【銀河便車指南】福特•派法特（Ford Prefect）是一位漫遊研究員，來自參宿四附近的小行星，受僱於《銀河便車指南》——如今他已受困於地球15年，直到某天，為了興建一條超空間快速通道，渥罡人受命負責摧毀地球（編按：這場景是否很似曾相識？），福特終於藉機搭上渥罡人的便車，順便救走了他的地球朋友亞瑟•丹特。脾氣不好的渥罡人發現了兩個不請自來的搭便車客，決定將兩人從太空船拋出氣閘——一般人在真空的環境下，無法存活超過三十秒，而在三十秒被另一艘太空船救起的機會更是數億萬分之一——前一刻剛偷走了以突破非或然率技術打造的太空船「黃金之心」的銀河總統柴法德•癟頭士和他的地球女朋友崔莉恩，剛巧駛經並救起了兩人。四人駕著「黃金之心」朝傳說的星球馬格西亞出發。傳說中，馬格西亞是個替富人興建人造星球的星球，然而宇宙經濟過度膨脹，引發全宇宙的經濟破產（編按：這場景是否又很似曾相識？），馬格西亞的生意亦因此一落千丈，從此成為傳說。亞瑟•丹特在馬格西亞上得知，地球其實只是一個實驗：在許多百萬年前，老鼠這種超智慧生物建造了一部超級電腦「深思」，想知道「生命、宇宙及萬事萬物」的終極答案是什麼；經過一段長時間的計算，深思告訴老鼠的後人，答案是42——「深思」解釋，它只能計算出答案是什麼，但答案的原因必須由另一部更高智能的電腦負責解釋——而該部電腦就是地球。在計算出「原因」前的5分鐘，地球卻被渥罡人毀滅了、全部資料銷毀——老鼠認為僅有的資料寄存在最後離開地球的亞瑟•丹特腦中，於是決定打起亞瑟•丹特的腦的主意……【銀河便車指南2：宇宙盡頭的餐廳】宇宙盡頭的餐廳是整個餐飲界歷史上最最出色的創舉。桌子成巨大的扇形排開，為著中央的舞台，有個小樂團正在那裡演奏輕音樂。亞瑟估計桌子起碼有上千張，其間點綴著微微搖擺的棕櫚樹、嘶嘶作響的噴泉、醜陋的雕像。簡而言之，所有餐廳裡會見到的各種裝飾設備都毫不吝惜大肆鋪張，好給人毫不吝惜大肆鋪張的感覺。亞瑟四下張望，半帶期望會看見有人在做美國運通卡的廣告。【銀河便車指南3：生命，宇宙及萬事萬物】在被拋到兩百萬年前的蠻荒地球、絕望地發現人類的起源之後，時間已經過去了五年，亞瑟和福特振奮地發現終於有張沙發來接他們——曾經替北歐打造冰河地形的得獎老人史拉德檜，這次找上了這兩個不怎麼可靠的幫手，希望能搶在白色殺手機器人找到足以啟動毀滅力量的三把鑰匙之前，拯救他在乎的一切：生命，宇宙及萬事萬物。【銀河便車指南4：掰掰，謝謝你們的魚啦】在歷經不斷地被炸飛、被侮辱，不小心拯救了生命、宇宙及萬事萬物之後，亞瑟累了，他想回家。於是他被送回了英國。為什麼？為什麼他不僅回到了地球，而他的家鄉小鎮不僅一點變化都沒有，連他那被推倒的小屋也依舊佇立在原地？與他記憶中唯一不同的地方在於：有人在他的臥室裡放了一個空空的小魚缸。然後亞瑟發現，在他離開地球的這段時間：一、所有的海豚都失蹤了。二、每個人都相信地球爆炸事件是CIA的陰謀（大家都覺得有這麼一回事，但顯然不是真的）。【銀河便車指南5：大部無害】才嘗到幸福滋味的亞瑟•丹特再次落難——愛人意外消失在不知哪個異次元空間；他自己則遭遇太空船失事，掉在一個落後得無法形容的星球——然後因為奇妙的崇拜，亞瑟成了這個部落的三明治大師。是的，三明治。畢竟，亞瑟總得做點什麼。奇怪的是，亞瑟•丹特，這個曾經漫遊銀河、見識過宇宙中最驚人奇蹟的浪遊者，這個家破人亡之人，竟然在製作三明治的過程中找到了心靈的寧靜——直到消失了很久的崔莉恩出現、並把一個小女孩丟了給他。本中文書介出自《銀河便車指南》木馬文化事業有限公司出版First a legendary radio series, then a bestselling book, then a blockbuster movie, the immensely successful Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams needs no introduction.This paperback boxset collection includes all five parts of the trilogy, 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.A phenomenon across all formats, this paperback omnibus contains the complete Hitchhiker's in five parts, charting the whole of Arthur Dent's odyssey through space and time. Share and enjoy.The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyOne Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace express route. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be rather a lot to cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun. The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown up and or insulted, but it’s very hard to get a cup of tea.The Restaurant at the End of the UniverseWhen all questions of space, time, matter and the nature of being have been resolved, only one question remains - 'Where shall we have dinner?' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe provides the ultimate gastronomic experience, and for once there is no morning after to worry about.Life, the Universe and EverythingFollowing 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. An eddy in the space-time continuum lands him, Ford Prefect, and their flying sofa in the middle of the cricket ground at Lord's, just two days before the world is due to be destroyed by the Vogons. Escaping the end of the world for a second time, Arthur, Ford, and their old friend Slartibartfast embark (reluctantly) on a mission to save the whole galaxy from fanatical robots. Not bad for a man in his dressing gown.So Long, and Thanks for All the FishThere 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 woman of his dreams. Fenchurch once realised 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 . . .Mostly HarmlessArthur Dent has settled down on the small planet Lamuella and has embraced his role as a Sandwich Maker. However, his plans for a quiet life are thrown awry by the unexpected arrival of his daughter. There's nothing worse than a frustrated teenager with a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in their hands. When she runs away, Arthur goes after her determined to save her from the horrors of the universe. After all - he's encountered most of them before."
