Stanislaw Lem is perhaps the most original and influential European science-fiction writer of the twentieth century. His ornate, phantasmagorical writing probes the furthest reaches of the universe while remaining deeply and particularly human. The Cyberiad, one of Lem' s most beloved works, follows the exploits of the Trurl and Klapaucius- two ingenious ' constructors' . In their adventures through a strange medieval universe they encounter a machine capable of creating anything that starts with the letter ' N' ; kings who oppress their people with parlour games; and PhD pirates who demand ransom in knowledge rather than gold. It is a world where UFOs land silently on lawns at dawn, and where even the stars can be re-arranged for advertising purposes.
Stanislaw Lem was a Polish author best known for his 1961 science fiction novel Solaris. He also wrote several other SF works including Eden (1959) and His Master' s Voice (1968). Lem' s books have been translated into over 40 languages and sold over 45 million copies. He was awarded numerous honours for his writing, including the City of Krak w' s Prize in Literature, the Grand Prix de Litterature Polici re and the Austrian State Prize for European Literature. Lem died in 2006, aged 84.
