This edition includes all of Daniel Mroz's hallucinatory. Charming, mind-bending and anarchic, it is perhaps Lem's greatest work. The Cyberiad and Robots tales (in the US volumes entitled The Cosmic Carnival of Stanislaw Lem and Mortal Engines were also published) is a witty. The Cyberiad is oddly reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Phantom Tollbooth and Alice in Wonderland. If, like me, your only real exposure to the works of Polish science-fiction author Stanislaw Lem is Solaris, The Cyberiad will likely throw you for a bit of a loop. A charming, mind-bending and anarchic book of imagined civilizations 'Most cosmic civilizations long for things, in the depths of their souls, they would never openly admit to.' Trurl and Klapaucius are 'constructors' - they travel around the universe creating machines of astonishing inventiveness and power and visiting a bewildering variety of violent, peculiar and morose civilizations.
