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.
N. Katherine Hayles is Professor of English and Design/Media Arts
at the University of California at Los Angeles.
“Mr. Lem was a giant of mid-20th-century science fiction, in a
league with Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Philip K.
Dick.”—New York Times—
The release of these new volumes seems to expand the possibilities
of what a university publisher can do.—LitHub
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
