Het Transgalactisch Liftershandboek Reeks
Ga op een absurde en humoristische reis door de kosmos in deze geliefde serie. Volg een gewone mens die een onvrijwillige galactische reiziger wordt na de sloop van de aarde. Ontmoet bizarre buitenaardse wezens, navigeer door ongelooflijke situaties en ontdek diepe (en vaak zinloze) waarheden over het leven, het universum en alles daartussenin. Het is een geestige, satirische en enorm inventieve rit die alles in vraag stelt wat u dacht te weten.

Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.

Now celebrating the 42nd anniversary of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, soon to be a Hulu original series! “A madcap adventure . . . Adams’s writing teeters on the fringe of inspired lunacy.”—United Press International Back on Earth with nothing more to show for his long, strange trip through time and space than a ratty towel and a plastic shopping bag, Arthur Dent is ready to believe that the past eight years were all just a figment of his stressed-out imagination. But a gift-wrapped fishbowl with a cryptic inscription, the mysterious disappearance of Earth’s dolphins, and the discovery of his battered copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy all conspire to give Arthur the sneaking suspicion that something otherworldly is indeed going on. God only knows what it all means. Fortunately, He left behind a Final Message of explanation. But since it’s light-years away from Earth, on a star surrounded by souvenir booths, finding out what it is will mean hitching a ride to the far reaches of space aboard a UFO with a giant robot. What else is new? “The most ridiculously exaggerated situation comedy known to created beings . . . Adams is irresistible.”—The Boston Globe

It`s easy to become disheartened when your planet has been demolished for an unnecessary hyperspacial express route, the woman you love has vanished in a misunderstanding about the nature of space/time, the spaceship in which you are travelling crashed in flames on a remote and Bob-fearing planet, and all you have to fall back on are a few sandwich-making skills. However, instead of becoming disheartened, Arthur Dent makes the terrible mistake of starting to enjoy life a bit and immediately all hell breaks loose.
Het Transgalactisch Liftershandboek (Engels: The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy) is een komisch sciencefictionfranchise bedacht door Douglas Adams. Het begon als een radiohoorspel van twaalf afleveringen, voor het eerst uitgezonden in 1978 door BBC Radio, daarna door de BBC World Service. In 1981 werd er een zesdelige televisieserie gemaakt. Al snel volgden andere media, waaronder een computerspel, drie toneelbewerkingen, negen graphic novels, een speelfilm en heel veel merchandise. De boekenserie was echter het succesvolst: tussen 1979 en 1992 verschenen vijf delen van de reeks. In 2008 kreeg auteur Eoin Colfer toestemming van de weduwe van Douglas Adams om de reeks af te maken met een zesde deel dat dit jaar in het Nederlands verschijnt: En dan nog iets...
