„The Magellan Nebula” - Lem's main science fiction work of the first half of the 50s, had not been reissued for years upon Author's request, although from the political point of view there aren't that many charges that can be brought against it. If we forgive its mandatory didactism, it remains an interesting reading as a first story of cosmic exploration and the adventure of Contact  with such a complete picture of technology and psychology of crew members.
