Solyaris

Meer over het boek

Despite two films made with panache, Solaris remains a book constantly rediscovered by new generations of readers. The moving story of contact with alien intelligence serves as a canvas for discussion of our mind’s limitations and the nature of human cognition. A love story for some readers, a philosophical treatise for others; Lem’s inspiring masterpiece defies unambiguous interpretations. The novel has been translated into over forty languages and sold several million copies. This is the first English translation directly from the original.
