Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series! “Wild satire . . . The feckless protagonist, Arthur Dent, is reminiscent of Vonnegut heroes.”—Chicago Tribune The unhappy inhabitants of planet Krikkit are sick of looking at the night sky above their heads—so they plan to destroy it. The universe, that is. Now only five individuals stand between the killer robots of Krikkit and their goal of total annihilation. They are Arthur Dent, a mild-mannered space and time traveler who tries to learn how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and missing; Ford Prefect, his best friend, who decides to go insane to see if he likes it; Slartibartfast, the indomitable vice president of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-president of the galaxy; and Trillian, the sexy space cadet who is torn between a persistent Thunder God and a very depressed Beeblebrox. How will it all end? Will it end? Only this stalwart crew knows as they try to avert “universal” Armageddon and save life as we know it—and don’t know it! “Adams is one of those rare treasures: an author who, one senses, has as much fun writing as one has reading.”—Arizona Daily Star

Druhý díl humorně pojednává výchovu batolete z pohledu toho, jenž má situaci ve skutečnosti pevně v rukou: batolete samotného. Sotva si rodič zvykne na skutečnost, že jeho miminko, na které se tolik těšil, není až tak rozkošné, jak si bláhově maloval, a sotva si začne (naivně) myslet, že to se svou ratolestí „umí“, vytasí se prevít s novými zbraněmi: naučí se mluvit a chodit. Bilingvní vydání.

Another hair-raising adventure featuring the aristocratic brother and sister sleuthing duo!

V třetím dílu malý prevít, který v předchozích svazcích šikanoval a zcela zotročil své rodiče a domácí kočku, musí čelit nové výzvě, jež ohrožuje jeho dosud výsadní postavení: nyní proti němu nestojí jen On a Ona, ale také nový sourozenec. Jak se náš malý hrdina vyrovná s novými protivenstvími? Nepochybně jako pravý prevít! Někdo bude škaredě litovat, ale to už bude pozdě! Vyd. v bilingvní podobě.

The ninth thrilling adventure featuring the aristocratic brother and sister sleuthing duo, by accalimed crime writer Simon Brett.

Playing the corpse in a wooden murder mystery at the Regent Theatre, Rugland Spa, is not exactly a triumph for Charles Paris, actor. In fact his career could hardly sink any lower.

And the talents of Charles Paris, amateur sleuth, are called into action.

After Jude stumbles over the body of a murdered stable owner, she enlists the help of her friend Carole Seddon to solve the mystery
