[ book tip by Translated Tips ] Balázs Eszter Anna writes about the Hungarian edition of "A kétség lazaca, Egy utolsó stoppolás a Galaxisban"
There is perhaps no one in the Solar system, who has not read the unique five-part trilogy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. And the work Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time, is a guidebook to survival.
It is about survival, because The Salmon of Doubt was composed of Adams' unimaginably rich legacy: from interviews, his best essays, his lectures, and his maddening short novel.
The novel involves a protagonist from his earlier novels, Dirk detective, who is asked to find half a missing cat, which is otherwise quite well and healthy.
In the book we find the author relating his work conducted with Monty Python; about his love of technological gadgets and the world of animals; and through his essays we get an insight into his exciting, but often hard logical thinking about the Universe, that is the galaxy, or even about the possibility of an artificially created God.
It is through reading The Salmon of Doubt that we really get to see the endless humour and open-minded author, whose influence was so intense, that according to a story an old lady had one last wish before her death: to be given her towel without which she was not willing to enter the unknown world.
