This book, which introduces young readers to the work of one of the most famous science-fiction writers, Stanisław Lem, was created to mark his 100th birthday.
Marta Ignerska has illustrated more than twenty citations from the author’s most important works. Her unique illustrations are an intriguing, bold and very expressive interpretation of Lem’s texts that grasp the reader’s attention. The fragments selected for the book are characteristic of Lem’s work: blunt, prophetic, thought-provoking. In combination with Ignerska’s remarkable illustrations, they demonstrate the extraordinary adventure of immersing yourself in the worlds Lem created. For young readers, this book is the first step towards becoming a faithful reader of The Cyberiad, Fables for Robots, Solaris and the brilliant writer’s other works, while for his existing fans, it constitutes a beautiful summary of his rich output.
