Description

Stanisław Lem is a prominent Polish writer, playwright, critic, literary scholar, and original philosopher. He is also known as a leading classic of modern science fiction. Lem’s catchphrase “Among the stars, the Unknown awaits us” found artistic form in the writer’s most significant novels of the 1960s: “Eden,” “Solaris,” “The Invincible,” and others. In these books, various versions of contact with other, undeniably non-Earthlike cosmic civilizations are presented. Lem managed to vividly depict unusual examples of extraterrestrial intelligent life in “Eden”—they are the victims of an unsuccessful attempt at biological reconstruction.
