Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

It’s the weirdest day of the millennia for Arthur Dent. His home is demolished to make way for a bypass; his best friend turns out to be an alien; the earth is destroyed to make way for an interstellar highway; he is thrown out of an extraterrestrial craft into deep space only to be rescued by a criminal politician, who once lured away Arthur’s dream girl with the unlikely line, “I have my own spaceship.” And that’s just the beginning.

Armed with nothing more than The Hitchhiker’s Guide and bath towels, the homeless Arthur and his friend Ford travel the wild universe of Douglas Adams' imagination cheating death time and again.

Monty Python lovers will surely appreciate Adams’ satirical take on the galaxy, where poetry kills, the thugs are bureaucrats and a smart hitchhiker always knows where his towel is.

Quick comic prose and quotable one-liners will keep you listening as Adams delightfully skewers politics, religion and the quest for enlightenment.

Narrated to hilarious perfection by British actor Stephen Fry, this is a fast fun book.
