Hard to say... I really liked "Niezwyciężony" and "Solaris", but everything he writes is just great.

Powrot z gwiazd but...

What about movies and tv series inspired by the Lem novels?

Merged: Please recommend a good sci fi Stanislaw Lem Book(already reading solaris)

I've read all S.Lem books. Everything is recommended :)

I heartily recommend Lem's book "Return From The Stars". It presents an incredibly interesting vision of a pharmacologically emasculated world, and it has a good plot.

thanks. i'll be pouring over one of those next.

I'm working on a celebration of the shorter work of Stanisław Lem. Which three stories/pseudo-essays would you rate as your all time favourites?

I wish could answer you but I've only read his novels in English translation. I never saw a collection of his short stories in English even at my university library. Perhaps the Cyberiad could be considered a collection of short stories.

Solaris, opera in two parts, sung in German, world premiere of a work commissioned by Bregenz Festival, in Bregenz, on the shores of lake Constance, Austria.

Music by Detlev Glanert, Libretto by Reinhard Palm after the novel by Stanisław Lem.

I read everything what Lem had on the cover. Although it was long time ago, and I liked everything what he wrote, I would recommend the most famous collection of short stories - The Cyberiad.

But when you fall in Lem's world and you like to be there, there's no way out - you have to read everything.
