Wicked [movie Tie-in] [Bok / Häftad]

<p><b>A phenomenon across all formats, this paperback omnibus</b><b> contains the complete <i>Hitchhikers Guide </i>trilogy in five parts, charting the whole of Arthur Dents odyssey through space and time. <i>Share and enjoy.</i></b><br/><br/><b>Collected together in this omnibus are the five titles that comprise Douglas Adams wildly popular and wholly remarkable comedy science fiction trilogy, plus a bonus short story, <i>Young Zaphod Plays It Safe</i>, and a special undeleted scene . . .</b><br/><br/><i><b>The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy</b></i><br/><br/>One 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 its very hard to get a cup of tea.<br/><br/><b><i>The Restaurant at the End of the Universe</i></b><br/><br/>When 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.<br/><br/><i><b>Life, the Universe and Everything</b></i><br/><br/>Following 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 Lords, 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.<br/><br/><i><b>So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish</b></i><br/><br/>There is a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Its not an easy thing to do, and Arthur Dent thinks hes the only human whos 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, shes forgotten. Convinced that the secret lies within Gods Final Message to His Creation, they go in search of it. And, in a dramatic break with tradition, actually find it . . .<br/><br/><i><b>Mostly Harmless</b></i><br/><br/>Arthur 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. Theres nothing worse than a frustrated teenager with a copy of the <i>Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy</i> in their hands. When she runs away, Arthur goes after her determined to save her from the horrors of the universe. After all - hes encountered most of them before.<br/><br/><b>This publishing phenomenon began as a radio drama and now exists in a number of wildly contradictory versions (including a TV series, a movie and a towel) - this version, produced by Douglas Adams original publisher, is, at least, <i>definitively </i>inaccurate.</b></p>

If no one steps forward to be the hero Scadrial needs, the planet and its millions of people will come to a sudden and calamitous ruin.

<p><b>The <i>New York Times</i> bestseller and basis for the Tony Award-winning hit musical, soon to be a major motion picture starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.</b> </p><p>With millions of copies in print around the world, Gregory Maguire's <i>Wicked</i> is established not only as a commentary on our time but as a novel to revisit for years to come. <i>Wicked</i> relishes the inspired inventions of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while playing sleight of hand with our collective memories of the 1939 MGM film starring Margaret Hamilton (and Judy Garland). In this fast-paced, fantastically real, and supremely entertaining novel, Maguire has populated the largely unknown world of Oz with the power of his own imagination.</p><p>Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin--no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and by the time she enters Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens.</p><p>But Elphaba's Oz is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere. Animals--those creatures with voices, souls, and minds--are threatened with exile. Young Elphaba, green and wild and misunderstood, is determined to protect the Animals--even if it means combating the mysterious Wizard, even if it means risking her single chance at romance. Ever wiser in guilt and sorrow, she can find herself grateful when the world declares her a witch. And she can even make herself glad for that young girl from Kansas. </p><p>Recognized as an iconoclastic tour de force on its initial publication, the novel has inspired the blockbuster musical of the same name--one of the longest-running plays in Broadway history. Popular, indeed. But while the novel's distant cousins hail from the traditions of magical realism, mythopoeic fantasy, and sprawling nineteenth-century sagas of moral urgency, Maguire's Wicked is as unique as its green-skinned witch.</p>
