Description
Specification
One of Stanislav Lem's wittiest, most subtle, and ironic works, it displays his talents as a writer, philosopher, and literary critic in equal measure. A collection of impeccably crafted reviews of fictional works by authors who never existed: novelists, scientists, and philosophers. Lem deliberately chose this unusual format, allowing him to fit into this small book a veritable encyclopedia of literary movements and genres, philosophical concepts, and scientific ideas.
