Beskrivning
A classic work of science fiction by renowned Polish novelist and satirist Stanislaw Lem.
When Kris Kelvin arrives at the planet Solaris to study the ocean that covers its surface, he finds a painful, hitherto unconscious memory embodied in the living physical likeness of a long-dead lover. Others examining the planet, Kelvin learns, are plagued with their own repressed and newly corporeal memories. The Solaris ocean may be a massive brain that creates these incarnate memories, though its purpose in doing so is unknown, forcing the scientists to shift the focus of their quest and wonder if they can truly understand the universe without first understanding what lies within their hearts.
Translated by Joanna Kilmartin and Steve Cox.

книга неплоха, но восторга от неё у меня не было. учитывая количество восторженных отзывов, которые я видела, ожидания были высокими, но увы, не оправдались. непривычная манера повествования, местами довольно сложный язык, много непонятных терминов и научные вставки, актуальные для мира, где происходят действия, которые совершенно тут быт не нужны, на мой взгляд. какие-то учёные, какие-то фамилии, которые встречаются один раз и всё… в общем, не поняла я всех прекрас этой истории. для меня она не более, чем просто «нормальная».

Para ser una novela corta hay demasiadas descripciones y análisis sobre el planeta que no llegan a ningún punto.
