Star Diaries

Stanislaw Lem allows his perhaps most likable hero, the cunning space traveler Ijon Tichy, to experience countless journeys to other worlds throughout his life, with the best of these adventures gathered in this volume. Tichy encounters God-fearing robots, meets his past self, and even has to persuade an intelligent but stubborn washing machine to continue its duties. Readers dive into a cosmos that is as surprising, funny, sad, and thrilling - in short: as overwhelming - as its creator.
