Solarise-bookHalf a century ago Stanislaw Lem predicted e-books in his "Return from the Stars." Now, for the first time ever, you will have the opportunity to download Lem's e-book for Amazon Kindle, iPad, etc.

The new translation of "Solaris" in electronic format should be available in the second half of December.

Telling of humanity's encounter with an alien intelligence on the planet Solaris, the 1961 novel is a cult classic, exploring the ultimate futility of attempting to communicate with extra-terrestrial life. The only English edition to date is Joanna Kilmartin and Steve Cox's 1970 version, which was translated from a French version which Lem himself described as poor.
