|
A brilliantly funny collection of stories for the next age, from the |
|
celebrated author of Solaris. Ranging from the prophetic to the surreal, these |
|
stories demonstrate Stanislaw Lem's vast talent and remarkable ability to |
|
blend meaning and magic into a wholly entertaining and captivating work.</p> |

★★★☆☆ |

</div> |
|
<p>What would happen if <em>Isaac Asimov</em> and <em>Douglas Adams</em> had a child? Stanislaw |
|
Lem.</p> |
|
<p>Ok, maybe I'm pushing the story a bit too far, 'cause that's the only book |
|
I've read from Lem so far, but the stories in this book really do seem a mix |
|
between what Asimov wrote with the nonsensical humour of Adams.</p> |
|
<p>The book revolves around stories of two "constructors", Trurl and Klaupacius |
|
and their adventures. And I put "constructores" with quotes 'cause, only by |
|
reading the synopsis is that I got that they were robots -- a thing the book |
|
never transpires, in a way that I thought, till now, that they were humans in |
|
a world were robots and humans live along. Good, bad? I can't say it.</p> |
|
<p>While the humour is there -- and I truly appreciate Adams style and reckon the |
|
hard work of the translators -- some pieces get too long and too nonsensical |
|
to be actually funny. It becomes a chore, sometimes, to read very long |
|
paragraphs, with a bunch of weird words (cause there is a bunch of made up |
|
words, like mixing "sarcastic" and "transistor" into a single word).</p> |
|
<p>It's fun overall, but not Adams fun.</p> |
