【Content Introduction】
Solaris is a planet orbiting a binary star, its surface covered by a colloidal ocean. According to existing human knowledge, the orbit of such a planet should be unstable. However, after just over a decade, people discovered that Solaris's orbit had not shown the expected changes. This sparked endless interest in this planet.
Psychologist Kelvin lands on Solaris, but instead of being warmly welcomed by his companions, he encounters a chaotic space station, crazed researchers, and a dark, gloomy atmosphere. He tries to figure out what's going on, until, amidst all the confusion, he runs into his wife, who has passed away ten years ago...
【Media Recommendation】
Lem possesses a truly remarkable imagination, one that is truly unique. His work offers a deeper understanding of the relationship between humanity and the universe, and compared to American science fiction, it is more literary and refined, possessing a deeper artistic conception and offering more depth and reflection.
——Liu Cixin If we can’t find aliens, it may be because our understanding of extraterrestrial life is that we all think they are human.
——Liang Wendao's "Solaris" is not only an important science fiction work, but also a great literary work, and even a modern philosophy textbook.
——Dai Jinhua Lem always finds a way to mock our lives from the core. He can cook together scientific papers, folk tales, fables, myths and legends, and use humorous and powerful absurd language and absurd plots to reflect our world.
——Wu Yan is one of the most intelligent, knowledgeable and humorous writers active today.
——Anthony Burgess is excellent in his control of language, imagination and the way of creating tragic characters, and no one can surpass him.
—Kurt Vonnegut Our exhausted universe pales in comparison.
—The Washington Post
A giant of science fiction who stands alongside Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, and Philip K. Dick.
—The New York Times
