Stanisław Lem

Jerzy Jarzębski

Dzienniki gwiazdowe

Stanislaw Lem's set of short stories, written over a period of twenty years, all feature the adventures of space traveller Ijon Tichy and recount him spinning in time-warps, spying on robots, encountering bizarre civilizations and creatures in space and being hopelessly lost in a forest of supernovae. This is a philosophical satire on technology, theology, intelligence and human nature from one of the greatest of science fiction writers

The Star Diaries

at times extremely funny in its silliness and deep satire, but some stories just went on for too long. and certain sections really didn’t age too well.

           I thought these stories were just great. I really like Lem's writing, and he approaches each story in a neat way. I know I've messed up and read the second book before the first, but this collection was a bunch of fun to read. I'd say my favourite story was the one about the person the size of a nebula. It was just so crazy that I laughed throughout.

Highly recommend this book, and I look forward to reading the rest of Lem's work.
