Description
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Omnibus is a science fiction comedy series that has become an international multi-media phenomenon. Created by Douglas Adams, it debuted as a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1978 and has since been adapted into various formats. At its core, the series follows the adventures of Arthur Dent, a hapless Englishman who escapes the demolition of Earth with his friend Ford Prefect, an alien researcher for a guidebook. The story is full of contradictions, as Adams rewrote it substantially for each new adaptation. Alongside Arthur and Ford are Zaphod Beeblebrox, Marvin the Paranoid Android, and Trillian, who embark on a quest to find the legendary planet of Magrathea and the Question to the Ultimate Answer. This omnibus edition brings together all the key elements of the series in one comprehensive volume, offering a unique insight into Adams' imaginative world.
