Stanisław Lem (Polish pronunciation: [staˈɲiswaf ˈlɛm] ( listen); 12 September 1921 – 27 March 2006) was a Polish writer of science fiction, philosophy and satire. His books have been translated into 41 languages and have sold over 27 million copies.[1] He is perhaps best known as the author of the 1961 novel Solaris, which has been made into a feature film three times. In 1976 Theodore Sturgeon said that Lem was the most widely read science fiction writer in the world.[2] In 1996, Lem was the recipient of the prestigious Polish national award, the Order of the White Eagle.[3]
His works explore philosophical themes; speculation on technology, the nature of intelligence, the impossibility of mutual communication and understanding, despair about human limitations and mankind's place in the universe. They are sometimes presented as fiction, but others are in the form of essays or philosophical books. Translations of his works are difficult due to passages with elaborate word formation, alien or robotic poetry, and puns. Multiple translated versions of his works exist.

The origin of our probably the greatest Polish poets already aroused controversy in the nineteenth century. In our time too here and there are revived theories of Jewish descent of Mickiewicz - both in anti-Semitic circles as well as among people willing to accuse of anti-Semitism of those who ... do not recognize the thesis of the Semitic genealogy of our bard. Where did the rumors about this came from? Can they be true? At the beginning of it the fundamental note. Well, Jewish origin is inherited in the female line, which means that a Jew can be only a man whose mother was Jewish. For this reason, the origin of the father of our poet is not relevant to resolve this issue.
