Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback TimeSearch for Books and Writers by Bamber Gascoigne Stanislaw Lem (1921-2006) Polish satirical and philosophical science fiction writer, whose novel SOLARIS (1961) was filmed by Andrei Tarkovsky in 1971. Lem's books have been translated into over 40 languages and sold about 27 million copies. He was probably the best single sci-fi author of the late 20th century not to write in English. Lem often wrote in comical style, but examined serious moral questions about technological progress, the limits of science, and our place in the universe. "Oh, I read good books, too, but only Earthside. Why that is, I don't really know. Never stopped to analyze it. Good books tell the truth, even when they're about things that never have been and never will be. They're truthful in a different way. When they talk about outer space, they make you feel the silence, so unlike the Earthly kind - and the lifelessness. Whatever the adventures, the message is always the same: humans will never feel at home out there." (from 'Pirx's Tale' in More Tales of Pirx The Pilot In the beginning of his career Lem published lyrical verse, essays on scientific method and realistic novels. His first work was a story CZLOWIEK Z MARSA (1946), which appeared in a magazine. In the 1950s Lem turned seriously into science fiction, publishing ASTRONAUCI (1951), OBLOK MAGELANA (1955), and EDEN (1959), a prophecy in which five ship-wrecked space traveling scientist explore a world where chemical manipulation is a part of the social lassez-faire. He had written in 1948-49 a three-volume autobiographical novel CZAS NIEUTRACONY, but it did not appear until 1957 - due to its first volume which was a problem for the censor.

The Cyberiad: Fables for the Cybernetic Age / Stanslaw Lem Reviewed by Tal Cohen Wednesday, 01 April 1998 Chances are, you've never met a gruncheon, nor have you ever seen a targalisk, a shupop, a calinatifact or a thists. In fact, I'm almost certain that you've never laid your eyes on a worch, or enjoyed the beauty of a true priton. You have no idea what you are missing! But alas, all these are gone for good. The cause for this is a machine, created by Trurl the constructor. Oh, the machine is not to blame: it did only what was asked of it. It was a mighty machine that could create anything starting with n . At Trurl's request, it created noodles, nuclei, neutrons, noses, nymphs and other kinds of nonsense. But when Trurl's friend Klapaucius was offered a chance to test the machine, he did not care for such non-challenging nibbles. First, he asked the machine to create Nature, and the machine complied by filling Trurl's front yard with naturalists, arguing, publishing their works in many volumes, and tearing the works of others. Then Klapaucius, never satisfied, asked the machine to create Negative, which Trurl thought was tricky and unfair but the machine easily did by generating antiprotons, antielectrons, antineutrons, and other anti-particles in such a vast amount that a small anti-matter world was created before the constructors' eyes. Still not satisfied, and aiming to prove that Trurl's machine really isn't worth that much, Klapaucius's next challenge was for the machine to create Nothing. At first, the two thought that indeed, the machine is doing nothing, which Trurl said was exactly what was asked of it, but Klapaucius countered by claiming that the machine was asked to do Nothing, but it isn't doing anything...

9. Stanislaw Lem:  The Futurological Congress Review of The Futurological Congress by Steven H Silver. http://www.sfsite.com/~silverag/lem.html

THE FUTUROLOGICAL CONGRESS by Stanislaw Lem Translated by Michael Kandel Cover by John Alfred Dorn III Reviewed by Steven H Silver Stanislaw Lem, Poland's premier science fiction author, writes science fiction in much the same way Kurt Vonnegut writes science fiction. He uses many of the tropes and buzz words of science fiction in a way which makes little internal sense in order to satirize contemporary society. Moreover, Much of Lem's writings, particularly his tales of Pirx the Pilot and Ijon Tichy, blend his satire with theater of the absurd. This strange, but functional, mixture can easily be seen in Lem's 1974 novel, The Futurological Congress , which follows Ijon Tichy on another of his myriad implausible adventures. Tichy was introduced in 1971 in Dzienniki Gwiazdowe The Star Diaries ), which chronicled twelve of Tichy's odd voyages. In the same year, Lem published Kongres futurologiczny The Futurological Congress ), which detailed Tichy's journey to a meeting of futurists in Costa Rica. When a coup breaks out, Tichy finds himself drugged, shot, frozen, and awoken in the year 2039. Although the indiginous inhabitants view their society as practically utopic, Tichy views the world as anything but. Lem's New York of 2039 is built on the remains of the American capitalist system, something which strikes fear into the hearts of good socialists, as Tichy's character is. More interesting is the role drugs play in the twenty-first century. Writing at a time when chemical research was giving the world LSD, Valium and similar widespread medications, Lem posits a future in which people can change their outlooks, personalities, etc. or get their educations via drug ingestion. In many ways, the reliance of drugs in

12. Scriptorium - Stanislaw Lem Article by Nathan Powers about the author and his works, togehter with links. http://www.themodernword.com/scriptorium/lem.html

ick By Nathan M. Powers "If [Stanislaw Lem] isn't considered for a Nobel Prize by the end of the century, it will be because someone told the judges that he writes science fiction," predicted a Philadelphia Inquirer critic in 1983. Lem is arguably the greatest living science fiction writer, and even one of the most important European authors of his generation; yet he commands little critical attention, and has failed to reach discerning American science fiction readers who ought, one would think, to be most interested in him. The reasons for this may be sought, paradoxically, in the high demands he makes of his own work: Lem is a true original, but at the price of being marginal. The Time of Cruel Miracles Stanislaw Lem was born in 1921 in Lvov, Poland, to a family of the professional class; both his father and uncle were doctors. As a young man Lem planned to become a doctor himself, enrolling at the Lvov Medical Institute. When the Institute closed due to the war in 1941, he became a mechanic and welder for a German corporation. During the lean war years Lem, who was himself of Jewish ancestry, escaped a number of close calls as Jewish acquaintances disappeared around him. On at least one occasion, he was nearly arrested sneaking out supplies from his workplace for the Polish Resistance. After the war Lem's life changed greatly. He moved with his family to Cracow in 1946, and completed his medical studies there in 1948. He did not, however, take a diploma, because persons with medical degrees were at the time automatically conscripted into the army. Instead in 1947 he accepted a position as a research assistant at Jagellonian University in Cracow, reading articles in a wide range of scientific fields for review in the journal

18. Stanislaw Lem, The Futurological Congress And The Future Of Illusion Stanislaw Lem foresaw the coming of the age of simulation in which humanity would lose itself in a world of illusions. http://www.transparencynow.com/introlem2.htm

Stanislaw Lem and The Future of Illusion In 1971, the author Stanlislaw Lem published a short novel titled The Futurological Congress in which he offered an intriguing diagnosis for what has gone wrong with contemporary society. In the novel, the main character, Ijon Tichy, wakes up from suspended animation in the future and finds that people now routinely partake of "psycho-chemical" drugs that can induce realistic hallucinations or waking dreams. Instead of merely watching television, they live out the fantasies of television as if it is happening to them. Not surprisingly, Tichy discovers that this world of artificial experience has generated more than its share of problems. Many people, for example, have become permanently lost to reality, preferring to spend their lives in a realm of alluring fictions. And it seems that everyone indulges fantasies of profound and unmitigated evil, popping pills so they can hallucinate the act of torture, sexual assault and murder. The novel follows Tichy's experiences as he slowly acclimates himself to this strange new existence. We see his bewilderment, his doubts, and his growing panic as he comes to the realization that he is trapped in a world in which the worst in humanity has been brought out by the power to simulate the look and feel of reality.

Home Lem Matt McIrvin mmcirvin@world.std.com VITRIFAX: The writing of Stanislaw Lem - Introduction, links, and commentary By Matt McIrvin Introduction The Polish author Stanislaw Lem (1921-2006) is my favorite author of fiction. (Other people have written books I admire as much as or more than any of Lem's, but, for some reason, I enjoy Lem's work most consistently Lem primarily writes science fiction, but that doesn't convey the variety of styles and forms that he's tackled. He's written straightforward adventure tales, moody extraterrestrial travelogues, satirical fables, mystery novels, psychological thrillers, hilarious pseudo-folktales set in a world populated by robots, learned reviews of nonexistent scientific monographs, critiques of imaginary artwork, lectures given by fictional supercomputers, tall tales, and novels that veer from one of the above forms to another without apparent warning. He's one of the most unapologetically cerebral writers on the planet, and has a dry sense of humor that leavens an often deeply pessimistic sensibility. Stanislaw Lem is one of the few SF writers in a language other than English whose work is widely available (in translation) in the United States. His American fans sometimes complain that he's underappreciated here, but, really, compared to everyone else in the non-Anglophone world, and especially the former Soviet bloc, he's quite a celebrity here. Even Arkady and Boris Strugatsky's novels are rarely seen on bookstore shelves, and you usually
