Lem Stanisław

Opis

Written over a period of twenty years, this book features adventures of space traveller Ijon Tichy.

Recenzje

Lem veers between joyous slapstick, freewheeling satire, and insanely involuted logical paradoxes--with surprisingly serious excursions into issues of will and faith. Funny, unexpected, tantalizing Kirkus Reviews
