We present to you a collection of audio plays by classics of modern science fiction: the outstanding American writer, poet, and playwright Ray Bradbury, and the Polish writer, playwright, critic, literary scholar, and philosopher Stanisław Lem.
Stanisław Lem.
* “The Star Diaries of Ijon the Quiet.”
Humorous and satirical “diaries of the cosmic Münchhausen,” by the famous cosmic wanderer, captain of long-range galactic voyages, hunter of meteors and comets, tireless researcher and discoverer of eighty thousand three worlds, doctor honoris causa of the universities of both Medvedytsas, a member of the Society for the Protection of Minor Planets and many other societies, a knight of the Orders of the Milky Way and other nebulas.
* “The Secret of the Condor’s Death” (based on the novel “The Invincible”).
Lem’s catchphrase: “Among the stars, the unknown awaits us” found artistic embodiment in one of the most significant novels by the writer, “The Invincible,” which presents various options for contact with other space civilizations.
Ray Bradbury.
* “And It Thundered.”
Thanks to some company that organizes travel to the distant past, Mr. Eckels goes back 60 million years. While hunting dinosaurs, he accidentally kills a butterfly—and, strangely enough, this act of killing provokes serious changes in the present.
* “Dandelions.”
Ann and Roger Christians use the services of the “Time Travel Bureau” and travel from 2155 to 1938 to New York. There, disguised and using new names, they escape to Mexico, wanting never to return to their terrifying world, which awaits destruction in the pit of radioactive fire and madness.
