Solaris

by: Stanisław Lem (author)

"Solaris" to opowieść o kontakcie człowieka z pozaziemską inteligencją, tak całkowicie odmienną od naszej, że o jakimkolwiek porozumieniu - czy choćby ogarnięciu wyobraźnią obcego umysłu - w ogóle nie może być mowy. Bohater to naukowiec prowadzący badania na planecie Solaris, którą pokrywa niezwykły, obdarzony świadomością "ocean", próbuje sprostać wyzwaniom o charakterze poznawczym, przede wszystkim jednak staje w obliczu nierozwiązywalnych dylematów natury moralnej i przeżywa wielki uczuciowy dramat. Klasyczny wątek miłości, która jest silniejsza niż śmierć, został wyjątkowo oryginalnie wykorzystany w tej powieści, która stanowi jedno z najwybitniejszych dzieł w historii literatury science fiction.

text How do you talk to an ocean

(but maybe, we should worry more about how the ocean would try to talk to us) It's a very disturbing read from the start, and you can feel the disquiet grip you into the pages immediately, but it's pretty dense and it can get dry. Know what this reminded me off a lot? "Moby Dick". It's those ess...

text An Alien Encounter of a Truly Different Kind

I really liked the beginning and found it extra creepy. Once the situation became clearer, I liked some of the topical excursions, like the one into the development of the scientific field of Soleriana or the more philosophical aspects and others less, like the minute descriptions of certain phenome...

I read every word of the first half. Then I skim-read. Had trouble keeping focus.

text Solaris

Even if this is the alleged "bad translation" I still really got into it. It's scary and slow. I love reading about humans confronting the truly alien and realizing their limits.
