Dirk Gently Reeks

Ga mee op een wilde rit door een universum waar het bizarre alledaags is en het onwaarschijnlijke onvermijdelijk. Volg een onconventionele detective die de vreemdste zaken aanpakt en verborgen verbanden ontdekt die tijd en ruimte overstijgen. Deze serie combineert eigenzinnige humor met diepgaande existentiële vragen, en onderzoekt de onderlinge verbondenheid van alles. Het is een reis naar het absurde die je uiteindelijk doet nadenken over de aard van de werkelijkheid zelf.

    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. 'A thumping good detective-ghost-horror-who dunnit-time travel-romantic-musical-comedy-epic' - Douglas Adams. Continue this surreal series with The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul and the unfinished The Salmon of Doubt.

    Douglas Adams changed the face of science fiction with his cosmically comic novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and its classic sequels. Sadly for his countless admirers, he hitched his own ride to the great beyond much too soon. Culled posthumously from Adams’s fleet of beloved Macintosh computers, this selection of essays, articles, anecdotes, and stories offers a fascinating and intimate portrait of the multifaceted artist and absurdist wordsmith. Join Adams on an excursion to climb Kilimanjaro…dressed in a rhino costume; peek into the private life of Genghis Khan—warrior and world-class neurotic; root for the harried author’s efforts to get a Hitchhiker movie off the ground in Hollywood; thrill to the further exploits of private eye Dirk Gently and two-headed alien Zaphod Beeblebrox. Though Douglas Adams is gone, he’s left us something very special to remember him by. Without a doubt.

    Там, где вам не помогут ни полиция, ни дипломированный психиатр, ни кембриджский профессор, вступает в действие детективное агентство Дирка Джентли – крупнейшего специалиста по бракоразводным процессам, пропавшим кошкам и пришельцам из иных миров. Кто, как не он, даст ответ на сложнейшие вопросы современности: Что общего у кошки и Кольриджа с квантовой механикой и кушеткой в стиле «Честерфилд»? Может ли покойник подать в суд за клевету? И действительно ли в подсознании каждого из нас живет гений, готовый справиться с любой задачей – даже с той, что на первый взгляд кажется неразрешимой?
