A Stanislaw Lem Reader
Peter Swirski + Stanislaw Lem: A book review by Danny Yee. Peter Swirski's Stanislaw Lem Reader contains four pieces: an introduction by Swirski to Lem; an interview from 1992, in which Lem reflects on philosophy, literature, and science; Lem's essay "Thirty Years Later", looking back at his predictions about virtual reality in his 1964 book Summa technologiae; and a written interview from 1994, in which Lem answers, with what are almost mini-essays, questions about science, the future of science, and its relationship with the humanities and philosophy. A English language bibliography of Lem's books and articles and of critical studies thereon completes the volume. [eng]

Stanislaw Lem (1921-)
Polish satirical and philosophical science fiction writer, whose novel SOLARIS (1961) was filmed by Andrei Tarkovsky in 1971. Lem's books have been translated into some 30 languages and sold over 10 million copies. He is probably the best single sci-fi author of the late 20th century not to write in English. [eng]

Stanislaw Lem The Futurological Congress
Stanislaw Lem, Poland's premier science fiction author, writes science fiction in much the same way Kurt Vonnegut writes science fiction. He uses many of the tropes and buzz words of science fiction in a way which makes little internal sense in order to satirize contemporary society. Moreover, Much of Lem's writings, particularly his tales of Pirx the Pilot and Ijon Tichy, blend his satire with theater of the absurd. This strange, but functional, mixture can easily be seen in Lem's 1974 novel, The Futurological Congress, which follows Ijon Tichy on another of his myriad implausible adventures. Tichy was introduced in 1971 in Dzienniki Gwiazdowe (The Star Diaries), which chronicled twelve of Tichy's odd voyages.

Stanislaw Lem Bibliography.
Stanislaw Lem is a polish science fiction writer known for his satire, humor, and frequently irreverent reflections of society. This page a work in progress. Please email links to the works, or reviews, of Lem, or any corrections and feedback. I am particularly interested in non-English editions, items not on my list, and information about the original date and place of publication. Note, I have attempted to render the correct spelling of Polish names and titles within the limits of ISO-Latin-1.
