Über diesen Titel

At last, one of the world’s greatest works of science fiction is available - just as author Stanislaw Lem intended it.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of Solaris, Audible, in cooperation with the Lem Estate, has commissioned a brand-new translation - complete for the first time, and the first ever directly from the original Polish to English. Beautifully narrated by Alessandro Juliani (Battlestar Galactica), Lem’s provocative novel comes alive for a new generation.

In Solaris, Kris Kelvin arrives on an orbiting research station to study the remarkable ocean that covers the planet’s surface. But his fellow scientists appear to be losing their grip on reality, plagued by physical manifestations of their repressed memories. When Kelvin’s long-dead wife suddenly reappears, he is forced to confront the pain of his past - while living a future that never was. Can Kelvin unlock the mystery of Solaris? Does he even want to?

Beschreibung von Audible

This fine, new, direct-to-English translation of Solaris allows listeners a new opportunity to marvel at the way Stanisław Lem managed to pack so much into such a compact story. As well as being a gripping sci-fi mystery, his novel stands as a profound meditation on the limitations of knowledge and the impossibility of love, of truly knowing another: how a vast, cold galaxy can exist between two people. In how many relationships does the other turn out to be a projected hologram? At the book's heart is the dark and mysterious planet of Solaris: working out what it means is half the fun of the book. One thing is clear: the possibility it offers of alien contact represents "the hope for redemption", a Schopenhauerian longing to be rid of the endless cycle of want, need, and loss. In one passage, the main character notes with a touch of envy that, "automats that do not share mankind's original sin, and are so innocent that they carry out any command, to the point of destroying themselves". The motivating forces that have traditionally sustained mankind - love, relationships, belonging - are exposed as so much space debris. In a book that contains one of the most tragic love stories in modern literature, the idea of a love more powerful than death is "a lie, not ridiculous but futile".

Alessandro Juliani is a veteran of television's Battlestar Galactica, though here it's a young, pre-parody William Shatner-as-Captain Kirk that his performance sometimes evokes: the same cool, clipped delivery and occasional eccentric choice of emphasis. If he occasionally under-serves the book's dread-filled poetry, his character studies clearly carry the wounds of their earlier lives: at first, his Kris is an opaque tough guy, coolly removed from the unfolding, terrible events, until he touchingly gives way in the end to an overwhelming sense of loss. His performance as Snout is a mini-masterpiece in feral intensity, an intelligence crushed by the immense weight of limbo. As Harey, caught in "apathetic, mindless suspension", he manages to make his voice unfocussed and passive, as if distilling the bottomless sadness of her self-awareness of her own unreality. It's also a strong tribute to his performance that he can carry the pages and pages of philosophising, argumentative theology, and semi-parodic scientific reports without coming across as didactic. What could easily drag the story to a standstill is, in this recording, compellingly conveyed as an essential part of Lem's heartfelt investigation into the painful limitations of human knowledge. — Dafydd Phillips

Kritikerstimmen

"A fantastic book." (Steven Soderbergh)
"[Lem] is one of the most intelligent, erudite, and comic writers working today." (Anthony Burgess)
"Few are [Lem's] peers in poetic expression, in word play, and in imaginative and sophisticated sympathy." (Kurt Vonnegut)
"Juliani transmits Kelvin’s awe at Solaris’s red and blue dawns and makes his confusion palpable when he awakens one morning to find his long-dead wife seated across the room. Juliani’s performance is top-notch." ( AudioFile)

Sehr schräge Story

Nur was für Kenner, man kommt schwer rein in die Geschichte. Muss man sicher mehrmals hören um alles nachvollziehen zu können.

Special compliment to the narrator

Alessandro Juliani's voice makes the experience of listening to this great book even more enjoyable. Listening his voice made me calm down, also he brings life to the story. Thank you. Will check Robert Zelazny's books due to Alessandro.

Wow: how have I not read this author before?

Intriguing observations about the nature of human endeavor. Similar to Philip K Dick and Robert Heinlein, but fascinatingly unique. Great read. I could see the influence of this book in all kinds of modern Science Fiction.

Good Quality

I think nothing needs to be said about the book itself. It's a classic and there are already many reviews of it on Amazon. I only want to state that the audiobook is in a good quality. The narrator has a fairly pleasant voice and knows how to act. I recommend it.

filosofia scientifica

Una lettura molto intensa, che richiede piena attenzione dall'ascoltatore. Intorno alla storia umana i personaggi scoprono i limiti di conoscenza dell'universo oltre di se stessi. Un tema profetico e ultramoderno per chi conosce film come "Ad astra", Gravity ecc. Il narratore, almeno nella versione inglese che ho scelto, è eccezionale. La versione inglese però richiede una ottima conoscenza della lingua inglese. Un libro eternamente attuale per tutti che si pongono le questioni sull'umano: chi siamo, da dove veniamo, da dove andiamo?
