Now celebrating the pivotal 42nd anniversary of the original radio show on which the book was based. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read Seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together, this dynamic pair began a journey through space aided by a galaxyful of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox—the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian (formerly Tricia McMillan), Zaphod's girlfriend, whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all …

This was a radio play first?!?

I had no idea! I’ve read the Hitchhiker’s books before, and I knew it was performed for radio, but I always thought the book came first.

As for the radio version, the Primary Phase is a delight. The voice actors are all top notch, especially Stephen Moore as Marvin the Paranoid Android, and the writing was so ahead of its time for the 70s (and the 80s and 90s, for that matter). I would easily pay 30 Alterian dollars a day to listen to this again and again.

Review of "The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" on 'Goodreads'

2 stelle

Most of the fun stems from its unpredictability. There are also some hilarious quotes in here. But, besides its gags, it doesn't have a lot to offer. The only theme to it is that (human) life is largely insignificant. But it's only explored superficially. Especially when rereading, the book can become somewhat of a bore.

Io ho un debole per i libri folli, ma così folli da poter essere nati solo perché la probabilità si è stancata di essere tanto prevedibilmente probabile e si è fatta un giro nell'improbabilità. E meno male.

Di Guida galattica per gli autostoppisti posso dirvi che non contiene un'oncia di quella normalità quotidiana tanto rassicurante per noi esseri umani. Infatti, il motto che attraversa tutto il romanzo (e che rende la Guida galattica per gli autostoppisti così apprezzata nell'universo) è: non fatevi prendere dal panico.

Niente panico anche quando la vostra casa sta per essere demolita dall'oggi al domani per far spazio a una tangenziale. Niente panico quando il vostro pianeta sta per essere demolito per far spazio a un'autostrada iperspaziale. Niente panico quando da un pianeta leggendario vengono sparati due missili che distruggeranno la vostra navicella …
