Description: The Cyberiad by Stanislaw Lem Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Fables for the Cybernetic Age. Trurl and Klapaucius are constructors - they travel around the universe creating machines of astonishing inventiveness and power and visiting a bewildering variety of violent, peculiar and morose civilizations. The Cyberiad is oddly reminiscent of Gullivers Travels, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Phantom Tollbooth and Alice in Wonderland. Charming, mind-bending and anarchic, it is perhaps Lems greatest work. Publisher Description A much-loved classic from a giant of european science-fiction.Stanislaw Lem is perhaps the most original and influential European science-fiction writer of the twentieth century. His ornate, phantasmagorical writing probes the furthest reaches of the universe while remaining deeply and particularly human.The Cyberiad, one of Lems most beloved works, follows the exploits of the Trurl and Klapaucius- two ingenious constructors. In their adventures through a strange medieval universe they encounter a machine capable of creating anything that starts with the letter N; kings who oppress their people with parlour games; and PhD pirates who demand ransom in knowledge rather than gold. It is a world where UFOs land silently on lawns at dawn, and where even the stars can be re-arranged for advertising purposes. Author Biography Stanislaw Lem was a Polish author best known for his 1961 science fiction novel Solaris. He also wrote several other SF works including Eden (1959) and His Masters Voice (1968).

He was awarded numerous honours for his writing, including the City of Krak ws Prize in Literature, the Grand Prix de Litterature Polici re and the Austrian State Prize for European Literature. Lem died in 2006, aged 84.
