內容簡介
突如其來的寂靜籠罩瞭地球。這事實上比噪音更加可怕。有一會兒,什麼也沒有發生。
巨大的飛船一動不動地掛在空中,覆蓋瞭地球上的每個國傢。
在黯然退場之前,地球首先被改造成瞭zui終ji的聲音重放器件,這是有史以來建造過的zui偉大的播音係統。但伴之而來的不是演奏會,不是音樂,沒有開場號麯,而僅僅是一條簡短的信息。
“地球人注意瞭。”一個聲音說,這聲音堪稱完美,仿佛來自四聲道係統,完美得無懈可擊,失真度低得能讓勇敢的男人灑下眼淚。
“這裏是銀河超空間規劃委員會。諸位無疑已經知道,銀河係邊遠地區的開發規劃要求建造一條穿過貴恒星係的超空間快速通道,令人遺憾的是,貴行星屬於計劃中預定毀滅的星球之一。毀滅過程將在略少於貴地球時間兩分鍾後開始。謝謝閤作。”

Book Description
The intergalactic adventures of Arthur Dent begin in the first volume of the 'trilogy of five', Douglas Adams' comedy sci-fi classic The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
On 12 October 1979 the most remarkable book ever to come out of the great publishing corporations of Ursa Minor (and Earth) was made available to humanity - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
It's an ordinary Thursday lunchtime for Arthur Dent until his house gets demolished. The Earth follows shortly afterwards to make way for a new hyperspace bypass and his best friend has just announced that he's an alien. At this moment, they're hurtling through space with nothing but their towels and an innocuous-looking book inscribed with the big, friendly words: DON'T PANIC.
The weekend has only just begun . . .

If you've done six impossible things this morning, why not round it off with breakfast at Milliways, the Restaurant at the end of the Universe?

And did anyone actually make a reservation?

"DOUGLAS ADAMS IS A TERRIFIC SATIRIST."
--The Washington Post Book World
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 curious 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.
Will they make it? The answer: hard to say. But bear in mind that the Hitchhiker's Guide deleted the term "Future Perfect" from its pages, since it was discovered not to be!

Book Description
In Life, the Universe and Everything, the third title in Douglas Adams' blockbusting sci-fi comedy series, Arthur Dent finds himself enlisted to prevent a galactic war.
In consequence of 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. He discovers that the Galaxy is not only mind-boggingly big and bewildering but also that most of the things that happen in it are staggeringly unfair.

"HYSTERICAL!"
--The Philadelphia Inquirer
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 white 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 vicepresident of the Campaign for Real Time, who travels in a ship powered by irrational behavior; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-head honcho of the Universe; 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!

Volume Three in the Trilogy of Five
After a series of events which have involved Arthur Dent being alternately blown up and insulted in more bizarre regions of the Galaxy than he ever dreamt existed, he finds himself stranded on Prehistoric Earth. Luckily, an eddy in the space-time continuum lands him, Ford Prefect and their flying sofa in the middle of the ground at Lord's two days before the world is due to end.

From the Inside Flap
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. And 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. But what else is new? --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Fenchurch knows 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 . . .

老實說,我拿到這本書的時候,本來是抱著一種“科幻小說”的預期,結果發現它更像是一部融閤瞭哲學思辨、黑色幽默和後現代解構主義的文學作品。作者的文字功力深厚,他能用最簡潔、最日常的語言,描繪齣最不可思議的場景。這種敘事上的反差感,是這本書最迷人的地方之一。我記得有一個章節,描述瞭一艘飛船的內部結構,那種混亂和不閤邏輯的設計,簡直是對所有工程學原理的公然挑釁,但作者的描繪卻讓你仿佛身臨其境,甚至開始相信,在宇宙的某個角落,真的存在這樣荒謬的建築。書中對語言和翻譯的探討也極為精妙,它揭示瞭我們賴以溝通的工具——語言,在麵對無限的差異性時是多麼的脆弱和局限。我喜歡那種閱讀時不斷被“齣乎意料”的情節推著走的感覺,仿佛你永遠不知道下一秒作者會拋齣怎樣一個驚人的概念。它不是那種端著架子故作高深的文學,而是非常接地氣(盡管故事背景是太空),充滿瞭英國式的冷幽默,讓你在捧腹大笑的同時,又對存在的本質産生一絲敬畏。
評分這本書簡直是一劑對抗生活單調乏味的強效良藥。它教會我,當你發現自己被睏在某種睏境中時,最有效的解決方式可能不是硬碰硬地解決問題,而是乾脆地跳齣這個係統,去尋找一個更荒謬、更具娛樂性的視角來看待這一切。作者對於不同物種之間交流障礙的描繪,簡直是教科書級彆的幽默,它精準地捕捉瞭溝通中的那些誤解和尷尬,然後將其放大到宇宙尺度。閱讀過程中,我感覺自己仿佛真的被塞進瞭一個破舊的飛船,和一群脾氣古怪的傢夥一起,為瞭一個並不那麼重要的目標而瞎忙活。這種代入感不是因為細節有多真實,而是因為情感內核的真實——我們所有人,無論是在地球還是在銀河係中漂泊,不都是在某種程度上扮演著“迷失的朝聖者”嗎?這本書最成功的地方在於,它用最瘋狂的想象,講述瞭最貼近人性的焦慮和渴望。它是一部可以讓你在通勤路上、在午後陽光下,隨手翻開就能立刻被拉走的魔力之書。
評分這本書帶給我的閱讀體驗是極其獨特的,它挑戰瞭我對“什麼是好的故事”的既有認知。起初,我可能會因為情節的跳躍性和邏輯上的“非綫性”而感到一絲睏惑,但很快,我就被那種隨心所欲的敘事節奏所吸引。這就像是你在聽一位最好的朋友滔滔不絕地講述他最近經曆的最離奇的冒險,你隻需要放鬆下來,跟著他的思路走,享受那些意想不到的轉摺。書中的世界觀構建得非常宏大,但作者卻總能巧妙地將宏大敘事與微小、瑣碎的人類情感聯係起來,使得那些星際戰爭和宇宙法則,最終都能歸結到對友誼、迷失和生存的探討上。我尤其欣賞作者對“信息過載”時代的幽默諷刺,書中那個關於“終極問題”的答案,簡直是當代社會信息爆炸背景下的一種絕妙隱喻——我們總是在追尋答案,卻往往忽略瞭問題本身可能就存在缺陷。這本書的價值,不在於它提供瞭什麼宏偉的未來藍圖,而在於它提供瞭一種麵對宇宙荒謬時應有的姿態:保持好奇,帶著幽默感,然後繼續前行。
評分我必須說,這本書是一次對傳統科幻套路的徹底顛覆。如果你期待看到嚴謹的物理設定和英雄主義的敘事,你可能會感到失望。但如果你想體驗一場腦洞大開、充滿機智對話和哲學暗流的太空之旅,那麼恭喜你,你找對書瞭。作者的筆觸極其輕盈,即便是描寫那些關乎宇宙命運的重大事件,也處理得像一場精心策劃的惡作劇。這種輕盈感,反而讓那些沉重的主題——比如自由意誌、隨機性、以及我們自身存在的偶然性——顯得更加引人深思。書中有大量的雙關語和文化典故,雖然是英文原版,但即使是在翻譯過來後,那種英式特有的刻薄和自嘲依然能透過文字感受到。我讀到某個地方時,甚至忍不住停下來,在腦海中默默地為一些對話配音,那種角色的鮮明感是多麼強烈啊!它不是那種讀完後你會閤上書本,感嘆“多麼偉大的故事”的作品,而是那種讀完後你會忍不住想找個同好,對視一笑,然後低聲說一句:“你懂的。”
評分哇,這本書的封麵設計真是太吸引人瞭,那種深邃的星空背景配上跳躍的字體,一下子就把我拉進瞭那個充滿未知和奇幻的宇宙。我迫不及待地翻開第一頁,作者的敘事風格就像一位經驗豐富的太空嚮導,帶著你穿越那些光怪陸離的星雲和古怪的文明。他對於“旅行”本身的定義就被徹底顛覆瞭,不再是簡單的空間移動,而是一種哲學層麵的探索。書中那些精妙的諷刺和對人類中心主義的解構,讓我笑齣瞭聲,但笑過之後又陷入瞭深深的思考。比如他對官僚主義的描繪,簡直是把地球上的種種荒謬場景搬到瞭宇宙的尺度上,這種誇張的手法反而更具穿透力。閱讀過程中,我感覺自己的思維被不斷地拓寬,那些看似天馬行空的情節背後,其實隱藏著對現實世界深刻的洞察力。書中的一些角色設定尤其令人印象深刻,他們不是傳統意義上的英雄或惡棍,而是充滿著各種古怪的小毛病和令人費解的動機,這使得整個故事更加真實和立體。我尤其喜歡其中關於“意義”的探討,它沒有給齣明確的答案,而是提供瞭一係列令人眼花繚亂的綫索,讓你自己去拼湊,去感受那種在浩瀚宇宙中尋找定位的迷茫與興奮。這本書絕對是那種值得反復品讀,每次都能發現新亮點的作品。
