Über diesen Titel

Read by Stephen Mangan (Green Wing, Dirk Gently) and featuring an introduction written and read by Stephen Fry, and an epilogue read by Richard Dawkins.

The Salmon of Doubt is Douglas Adams's indispensable guide to life, the universe and everything. It includes short stories and eleven chapters of a Dirk Gently novel that Douglas Adams was working on at the time of his death, and features an introduction by Stephen Fry.

This sublime collection dips into the wit and wisdom of the man behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, uncovering his unique comic musings on everything from his school-trousers to malt whisky and from the letter Y through to his own nose, via atheism, hangovers and fried eggs.

These hilarious collected writings reveal the warmth, enthusiasm and ferocious intelligence behind this most English of comic writers; a man who was virtually an unofficial member of the Monty Python team.

Douglas Adams on his passion for P. G. Wodehouse, The Beatles and the perfect cup of tea alone make this a must-have collection and a remarkable sign-off from one of the best loved writers of all time.

Start from the beginning of the surreal Dirk Gently series with Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.

Kritikerstimmen

An astonishing comic writer (Neil Gaiman)
Few recent writers have had such an infectious prose style as Adams. With his fondness for paradox, his galactic perspective on things and his wonderful way with meaningful nonsense his are the books which have launched a trillion quips (Robert McFarlane)

A heart-piercing insight into my favorite author’s heart and mind. So happy it exists and so sad this is the last piece of his work we will ever have.

Wonderful

So yeah, this is not really much of a story. More just a collection of the works from Douglas Adams bevor he died. So in that sense it is not really a hitchhiker or Dirk Gently book. There are new ideas and chapters from those two series in it but incomplete.
It is really meant as a type of memorial for this great author.

If you have not yet read every one of the hitchhiker or the Dirk gently books, i would recommend you to focus on those. And if you want to learn more about Douglas Adams i would recommend to you Last Chance to see, it felt like his most personal work and it was the one he was most proud of.
The Salmon of Doubt is more like additional information about Adams in case you are interested.

Interesting stuff if you want to learn about Adams
