Don't Panic: collected together in the Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy are the five titles that comprise Douglas Adams' wildly popular and wholly remarkable comedy science fiction series, with a special introduction from the author.The Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyOne Thursday lunchtime the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. For Arthur Dent, who has only just had his house demolished that morning, this seems already to be rather a lot to cope with. Sadly, however, the weekend has only just begun. The Galaxy may offer a mind-boggling variety of ways to be blown up and/or insulted, but it's very hard to get a cup of tea.The Restaurant at the End of the UniverseWhen all questions of space, time, matter and the nature of being have been resolved, only one question remains - 'Where shall we have dinner?' The Restaurant at the End of the Universe provides the ultimate gastronomic experience, and for once there is no morning after to worry about.Life, the Universe and EverythingFollowing 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. An eddy in the space-time continuum lands him, Ford Prefect, and their flying sofa in the middle of the cricket ground at Lord's, just two days before the world is due to be destroyed by the Vogons. Escaping the end of the world for a second time, Arthur, Ford, and their old friend Slartibartfast embark (reluctantly) on a mission to save the whole galaxy from fanatical robots. Not bad for a man in his dressing gown... So Long, and Thanks for All the FishThere is a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. It's not an easy thing to do, and Arthur Dent thinks he's the only human who's been able to master this nifty little trick - until he meets Fenchurch, the woman of his dreams. Fenchurch once realised 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... Mostly HarmlessArthur Dent has settled down on the small planet Lamuella and has embraced his role as a Sandwich Maker. However, his plans for a quiet life are thrown awry by the unexpected arrival of his daughter. There's nothing worse than a frustrated teenager with a copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in their hands. When she runs away, Arthur goes after her determined to save her from the horrors of the universe. After all - he's encountered most of them before... Share and enjoy Douglas Adams' mega-selling trilogy in five parts - now in one handy paperback volume - charting the whole of Arthur Dent's hilariously strange odyssey through space and time.

老实说,这本书的排版和装帧带来的阅读体验,让我有一种怀旧的满足感。那种厚重的纸张感,仿佛手中握着的不是普通的书本,而是一本古老的、记载着宇宙冷笑话的珍贵文献。当我翻阅那些章节时,我仿佛能闻到一丝旧书页特有的霉味和宇宙尘埃的气息。叙事风格的转换非常流畅,从一开始的地球被拆迁,到后来在各种光怪陆离的飞船上漂流,作者总能用一种看似漫不经心的语气,带出令人震惊的信息量。它成功地颠覆了我对“史诗感”的定义——真正的史诗,或许就是由一系列接连不断的、被精心策划的灾难和误解构成的。我特别欣赏作者对于语言的驾驭能力,那些复杂的从句和突然出现的精炼短句之间的切换,就像是宇宙飞船在超空间跳跃时那种瞬间的失重感,令人晕眩却又着迷。对于初次接触的读者,可能需要适应一下这种信息密集的、不按常理出牌的叙事方式,但一旦你找到了那个节奏点,你就会发现自己已经完全被吸入了那个由亚当斯精心构建的、充满滑稽和智慧的黑洞之中,再也不想出来了。
评分我必须承认,这本书的魅力具有一种独特的“传染性”,它改变了我看待日常事物的角度。比如,在处理一份复杂的文件或者面对一个莫名其妙的指示时,我脑子里常常会浮现出赞福德·毕博布鲁克斯那张得意洋洋的脸,然后我就知道,无论事情看起来多么重要或紧急,最终很可能都源于一个非常愚蠢的决定,而且最终的结果也未必是世界末日——也许只是换个角度找毛巾。这种“超脱”感,是其他任何书籍都难以给予的。它没有提供救赎或英雄主义,而是提供了一种在宇宙尺度上自我解嘲的勇气。文字的密度非常高,几乎每一页都有值得反复品味的金句,这让我的阅读速度慢了下来,因为我总忍不住停下来,在脑海中想象那些场景的荒谬性。对于那些期待传统线性情节推进的读者来说,可能会觉得有些散漫,但对于喜欢随性漫步在智慧与荒诞交织的迷宫中的人来说,这简直是无价之宝。它不仅仅是一本书,它更像是一种心境,一种面对无垠未知时的乐观(或曰绝望)的姿态。
评分这本书的精髓,在于它对“信息”的探讨,以及信息是如何在浩瀚的宇宙中被误传、滥用,或者干脆被忽略的。它不提供明确的答案,而是提供了一套应对“没有答案”的工具——比如一条坚固的毛巾。这种务实的虚无主义,是它区别于其他许多宏大叙事的关键。阅读过程中,我不断地被提醒,我们所依赖的常识和规则,在更广阔的视角下是多么的脆弱和可笑。书中描绘的各种外星文明,与其说是对未来科技的预测,不如说是对当前人类社会各种机构和心态的辛辣映射。例如,那些只会说“抱歉”的官僚机器,那种对“唯一正确答案”的执着追求,都让人感同身受。我感觉这本书更像是一面镜子,反射出我们自己的愚蠢和傲慢,只是镜子被放置在了宇宙飞船的厕所里,由一个机器人拿着。它教会我的,是接受混乱,并从中找到笑点,这比任何严肃的哲学宣言都要有效得多。
评分这本收录了亚瑟·邓特那场横跨宇宙的倒霉蛋之旅的合集,简直是科幻喜剧的巅峰之作。我第一次翻开它的时候,就被道格拉斯·亚当斯那种冷峻的、近乎荒谬的幽默感深深吸引住了。那种将宏大宇宙叙事与日常琐碎烦恼(比如找不到一杯好茶)无缝衔接的笔力,简直鬼斧神工。书里对官僚主义的讽刺,对生命意义的哲学探讨,都包裹在一层层令人捧腹的笑料之下,读起来毫不费力,却又让人在合上书本后陷入沉思。特别是对“深思”的描绘,那简直是文学史上对计算能力和存在主义困境最精妙的注解之一。我记得我读到那段关于“青蛙”和“地球的真正作用”的描述时,忍不住笑出了声,声音大到我邻居都以为我家出了什么事。那种文字的韵律感,那种随时能抛出一个让你拍案叫绝的金句的能力,使得即便是反复阅读,也能发现新的微妙之处。它不是那种靠炫技堆砌的未来感,而是靠着对人性和荒诞世界的深刻洞察,构建起一个独一无二的文学宇宙。每次在现实生活中遇到什么令人抓狂的小事,我都会想起福德拉姆与马文的对话,瞬间感觉自己的烦恼渺小得可笑。
评分读完这一册,我有一种强烈的冲动,想要立刻把这本书塞进每一个我认识的人手里,同时又害怕他们无法领会其中精髓,从而玷污了这份纯粹的荒诞美学。亚当斯的叙事节奏掌握得太好了,他总能在你不经意间,把叙事重心从一个行星的毁灭,瞬间转移到一条毛巾的重要性上。这种跳跃性,非但没有让人感到混乱,反而模拟出了宇宙本身那种随机、无序却又自有逻辑的运行方式。那些角色塑造更是立体到不可思议:福德拉姆的焦虑、崔莉安的冷静与疏离、赞福德的自负与魅力,每一个都像是从我们身边那些最古怪的朋友身上提取出来的精华。尤其是马文,那个“患有严重抑郁症的机器人”,他的每一次抱怨都精准地戳中了现代社会中那种无力感和存在主义疲惫。作者的高明之处在于,他用最不可能的背景故事,讲述了最普遍的人类情感和困境。这本书的价值,远超一般的科幻冒险小说,它更像是一本关于如何面对宇宙级混乱的生存手册,只是手册的作者喝多了点杜松子酒,然后用一种近乎诗意的混乱写就了这一切。
