I'm woring on my thesis which is on the Hungarian translations of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I'm looking for some material on the language use of Douglas Adams and also on the translations of his works. Could you please help me? Yours sincerely.

Douglas Adams is a well known writer to us here. The Hitch-hiker's Guide is called "Linnunradan käsikirja liftareille" in finnish. The translator's name is Pekka Markkula.

The names of the translations of all Adams' works can be found in the National Bibliography of Finland at

Click on the title of a book to find the name of the original work and the name of the translator.
