[Vonnegut] wheels out all the complaints about America and makes them seem fresh, funny, outrageous, hateful and lovable.”—The New York Times In Breakfast of Champions, one of Kurt Vonnegut’s most beloved characters, the aging writer Kilgore Trout, finds to his horror that a Midwest car dealer is taking his fiction as truth. What follows is murderously funny satire, as Vonnegut looks at war, sex, racism, success, politics, and pollution in America and reminds us how to see the truth. “Free-wheeling, wild and great . . . uniquely Vonnegut.”—Publishers Weekly

Facing annihilation at the hands of the warlike Vogons is a curious time to have a craving for tea. It could only happen to the cosmically displaced Arthur Dent and his comrades in arms as they hurtle across space powered by pure improbability - and desperately in search of a place to eat. Among Arthur's motley shipmates are Ford Prefect, a longtime friend and expert contributor to the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'; Zaphod Beeblebrox, the three-armed, two-headed ex-president of the galaxy; Tricia McMillan, a fellow Earth refugee who's gone native (her name is Trillian now); and Marvin, the moody android who suffers nothing and no one very gladly. Their destination? The ultimate hot spot for an evening of apocalyptic entertainment and fine dining, where the food (literally) speaks for itself.

Sillage je jedan od najvećih strip hitova u Evropi u posljednjih nekoliko godina. Samo u Francuskoj svaki album ovog naučno fantastičnog serijala scenariste Jeana Davida Morvana i crtača Phillipea Bucheta proda se u više stotina hiljada primjeraka što je u današnje vreme prava senzacija. Prvi album iz serijala, Do vatre i pepela otkriva nam šta se krije iza kontroverznog imena Brazda.

Kako bi planetu prilagodili sopstvenim potrebama bogatu površinu moraju uništiti do vatre i pepela. Ali po dolasku na planetu sreću Nävis, divlje dete iz vrste koju Brazda dotad nije upoznala: ljudske.

Čovječanstvo se raširilo po svemiru no, dok je prije za to moralo moljakati usluge jedine druge poznate inteligentne rase, novi pogon – popularno nazvan hipersvemirskim – omogućio je širenje ljudske rase daleko izvan dotadašnjih granica. Istraživački i radoznali mentalitet čovječanstva iznenada će se sudariti s beskrajem i tamom svemira, razotkrivajući našu krhkost naspram vječnosti i neograničenosti.Budeći sjećanja na daleku budućnost, Milena Benini kritički i oštroumno progovara o nama, našem odnosu prema svijetu i prošlosti uspješno manipulirajući prepoznatljivim žanrovskim elementima.
