"Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so."
A modern-day classic and a galactic encyclopedia of quotable humour that will make every reader explode like the Big Bang - this is what The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is in a very short statement. A few moments before our tiny planet is obliterated with the purpose of building a galactic freeway, human Arthur Dent escapes with the unasked for help of his friend Ford Prefect. The two of them begin a journey across the unknown and frightening Universe, reminding themselves of the wonders and oddities of the world, with the help of a few weird buddies they meet along the way.
Douglas Adams can create an unforgettable and remarkable experience for his readers if only you 1) release yourselves from what you perceive as realistic; 2) accept that the world does not merely consist of our minor and insignificant planet; 3) take yourselves less seriously.Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
