At last, one of the world's greatest works of science fiction is
available--just as author Stanislaw Lem intended it.
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.
In Solaris, Kris Kelvin arrives on an orbiting research station to
study the remarkable ocean that covers the planet's surface. But his
fellow scientists appear to be losing their grip on reality, plagued by
physical manifestations of their repressed memories. When Kelvin's
long-dead wife suddenly reappears, he is forced to confront the pain of
his past--while living a future that never was. Can Kelvin unlock the
mystery of Solaris? Does he even want to?
