The galactic Guide

Book Review by: atak     

Original Author: Douglas Adams
This abstract was translated from Le Guide galactique
This morning, boring one following day the thick fogs of cooked, the trumpets of the apocalypse drew Arthur Accroc at the
same time
from a heavy sleep and a dull destiny. Whereas a wretched yellow bulldozer was on the point of shaving its
residence imprudently built on the layout of a future expressway, celestial Justice appeared under the aspect of a spaceship terribly
glowing and returned its verdict: Earth itself, rolling imprudently on the layout of the future expressway
hyperspatiale, was going to have to be to destroy. Pom-pom-pom-pooom... And at this point in time Arthur sees shining its star his/her best
friend - actually a native astrostoppor of Bételgeuse - the car
in extremis of this bad step. But not never finished some with the vast universe. For galactic routard, it is tous.les.jours galère..."Arthur Accroc is the hero unlucky person of the génialissime series
known as" Galactic Routard "(the original name etait the Guide of
Galactic Routard, but the guide of routard carried felt sorry for!). Who is this guide? And Arthur? And his/her best friend Ford Escort (it is not a motor it is its name)
which is native of betelgueuse, who is it and which comes it to make on Earth? And which is Zappy BBC, Trillan, Marvin the paranoid androïde, and Saloprilopette? Which are their common points? To answer all these questions would be long, very long and it is for Ca that I invite you to read this book with
very English humour (very Monthy-pytonesque). And when you finish it, then thus read the continuation! In the order, there is the Last Restaurant before the end of the world, Life universe and the remainder, Hello and still thank you for fish, and overall inoffensive. It is the first trilogy in 5 volumes! Moreover you can read 5 volumes separately, the history is so much well tied up that all is included/understood! But in the numerical order conventional it is better! To give you the desire for reading it I go, you summarize the history! Arthur Tear, this alarm clock one morning with a bulldozer in front of at his place
close A massacring its residence because a deviation must precisely
pass on its house. What it does not know yet it is that at this time it a Bulldozer
HyperSpatial Vogonien (they are of gross rough, who are caught for poets) have the role of destroying the Earth
because it is on a HyperSpatiale deviation. And, roof of the irony, the Earth explodes under the blows of the buldozer HyperSpatial! In extrémis Arthur and his/her friend Ford Escort make astrostop and
this make take by Voggons. Then begin a daily life of galère in space in search of nothing. But they arrive to them 1001 funnier adventures the one than the
others! In space, it is necessary to be equipped, it is necessary to have two things, a fish of babbel in the ear whose function is to translate all the
languages of the universe, and the essential Guide of Galactic Routard who indexes all planets, and all sympathetic bars and corners, of all the whole universe! It is also recommended to have the heart to hang well, a vessel, friends in whom have it little to have confidence, and a touch of madness in the head! To pass from the very good time read the trilogy in 5 volumes of the
guide of galactic routard, in more it answer existential questions such as "Why the life, universe and the remainder?"and the message of God to his creation gives you. I want to pay a homage to the author, Douglas Adams, who etait a genius of humour. It had started by making Guide of galactic routard an emission of
radio on the BBC, then it made the books of them, and data base. It is deceased on last 11 May at the 49 years age, I think that it is a great loss. Peace has its heart;o)
