SYNOPSIS
Brilliant stories of a bumbling astronaut, and the human desire to discover the unknown, by the much-loved author of Solaris.
Set in the not-too-distant future, when space flight has evolved to the point where humanity is ready to colonize the solar system, Tales of Pirx the Pilot follows one somewhat-hapless explorer as he struggles though his training as a cadet, his career as a pilot, and his tenure as captain of a merchant ship.
In these collected stories, Pirx stumbles his way through various exploits: traveling to the moon; battling mechanical malfunctions; encountering robots; and confronting questions of ambition, evolution, exploration, experimentation, and the nature of humanity itself. And in classic Pirx fashion, he faces down each dilemma with charm, curiosity, courage, and intuition.
These early works by revered speculative fiction author Stanislaw Lem are filled with both the sharp insight for which he is known and a childlike innocence, making them an entertaining and thought-provoking read for science fiction fans of all ages.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Stanislaw Lem
Stanislaw Lem (1921-2006) é um dos mais traduzidos e destacados autores polacos. Nos anos 40, estudou medicina e psicologia em Lviv e em Cracóvia. Foi forçado a obter documentos falsos – que o salvaram das câmaras de gás de Belzec – e, como mecânico, dedicou-se a sabotar carros alemães durante a invasão nazi. Publicou Solaris (1961), A Voz do Dono (1968) e livros com um humor inimitável, como Memórias Encontradas numa Banheira (1961) e Congresso Futurológico (1971). Em 1976, foi expulso da Associação Americana de Escritores de Ficção Científica, por ter criticado a qualidade da produção norte-americana no género. Legou-nos uma obra profundamente filosófica, norteada pela reflexão sobre as limitações humanas, o lado negro do progresso e o lugar do homem no Universo. Perdurará neste planeta como um mestre da sátira e da imaginação.
