Solaris

"Solaris" is the undisputed pinnacle of Stanislav Lem's work, a work that influenced the development of 20th-century science fiction, including Russian science fiction. The novel has been filmed twice, and radio plays, performances, and even a ballet have been staged based on it! So, what is Solaris? A boundless thinking ocean pursuing goals incomprehensible to man, a subtle tuning fork that transforms human feelings into material form? An embodied nightmare of a psychologist or a spiritual healer? More than 50 years have passed since the book was published, and its readers continue to ask questions that cannot be answered without looking into their own hearts.
