The Salmon Of Doubt - Hitchhiking The Galaxy One Last Time Douglas Adams

Résumé :

You are on the verge of entering the wise, provoking, benevolent, hilarious and addictive world of Douglas Adams... The Salmon of Doubt comprises eleven chapters of the novel on which Douglas Adams was working at the time of his death, in which Dirk Gently is on the trail of half a cat and a mysteriously easy-to-track actor. Co-starring with the pizza-addicted detective are Thor, Norse God of Thunder, and a highly confused rhinoceros called Desmond. Alongside this is an astonishing collection of short stories and non-fiction pieces recovered from Adams's beloved Macintosh, including Young Zaphod Plays it Safe, featuring the intergalactic star of the Hitchhiker series; an earnest twelve-year-old Douglas's letter to Eagle magazine; and insights into a teenage mind full of adoration for the Beatles and loathing for short trousers. Also, there are lectures and articles on subjects as diverse as religion, the letter Y and Adams's love affair with two dogs in New Mexico.
