To mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of Solaris, Audible, in cooperation with the Lem Estate, has commissioned a brand-new translation - complete for the first time, and the first ever directly from the original Polish to English. Beautifully narrated by Alessandro Juliani (Battlestar Galactica), Lem’s provocative novel comes alive for a new generation.

A new translation of "Solaris", made straight from the original by prof. Bill Johnston is available as an Audible audio-book: Solaris The Definitive Edition
