Stanisław Lem (1921-2006), a writer called "worthy of the Nobel Prize" by the New York Times, was an internationally renowned author of novels, short stories, literary criticism, and philosophical essays. His books have been translated into forty-four languages and have sold more than thirty million copies.
"Such deadly wit, such deadly playful tightrope walking…a modern
European version of Swift or Voltaire.”—Peter S. Beagle, New York
Times—
The release of these new volumes seems to expand the possibilities
of what a university publisher can do.—LitHub
This thorough, intellectual take on a classic hard sci-fi trope is
Lem at his best.—STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly
Fourteen years after his death, the universe is still struggling to
catch up with the vast creative force that was Stanislaw Lem. And
for my money, it won't be surpassing him anytime soon…Enjoying the
genius of Lem requires readerly dexterity and a willingness to go
wherever the author takes you…These marvelous, absorbing and often
hilarious books make our weary universe seem pale and
undistinguished by comparison.—The Washington Post
