Stanisław Lem Invincible
The king of Polish science fiction in his own invincible person. Lem at its best. His book is actually a micro-story. Inconspicuous, but incredibly addictive. Through fast-paced action, amazing ideas, character creations and dialogues, it provides an overview of all the possibilities and prose skills of our compatriot. And there is something to admire. Lem deservedly stands on the pedestal of the greatest authors of the genre. First off, his book is just plain good. The adventures are interesting and original. They do not let you get bored, they keep you in suspense and the story is worth more than one screening. In addition, the reader learns that the writer is truly gifted. His knowledge, which is the basis and support for the novel, is enormous. Especially in the field of biology, chemistry, physics and astronomy. All descriptions sound plausible, everything is accurately and meticulously presented from start to finish. In places, the book resembles a scientific work. And he does it in a way that is digestible enough not to reject the reader. Moreover, Lem had a great talent for dressing complicated processes into simple words. The invincible is read (unfortunately) quickly, quite easily, and with bated breath and flushed face. For every fan of the genre and not only, it is a must-have. It is worth getting acquainted with, for example, Lem’s writing skill, where specialist knowledge and the ability to communicate information are combined with a great arrangement of the story. The novel itself is about the crew of the title spacecraft, sent in search of its twin unit. Superbly written heroes reach the desert planet Regis III, where contact with “Condor” has been lost.
