42: Douglas Adams' Amazingly Accurate Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything - Softcover
Synopsis
In The Hitchhikerâ s Guide to the Galaxy, author Douglas Adams famously proposed that the answer to the question â What is the meaning of Life?â was the number 42. Why that number? Over the years, many theories have been put forward, but Adams steadfastly refused to clarify. It has taken a dedicated fan and investigator, Peter Gill, ten years to establish just why 42 is the answer. In this brilliantly detailed, maniacally meticulous and hilariously offbeat volume, Gill gives us a whole range of reasons why 42 really is the answer. â ¢ On page 42 of Harry Potter and the Philosopherâ s Stone,Harry discovers he is a wizard. â ¢ Adolf Hitler turned vegetarian at the age of 42. â ¢ Elvis Presley choked on his hamburger at the age of 42. â ¢ Washington is the 42nd State. â ¢ Channel 42 in the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, where StephenKing stayed prior to writing The Shining, shows Kubrickâ sfilm of the book in one non-stop loop.
