Summary
Ijon Tichy， "kosmiczny wędrowiec"， bohater opowiadań Stanisława Lema， powraca， żeby znowu przemierzać wszechświat w poszukiwaniu nowych wyzwań。
Do Dzienników gwiazdowych II weszły te przygody， które nie znalazły się w wyborze Jerzego Jarzębskiego z 1999 roku。 Czytelnicy znajdą pośród nich m。in。 przesławną "podróż ósmą"， wspomnienia Ijona i rozważania dotyczące pożytku ze smaków。 Żaden z Lemowych cykli nie powstawał tak długo: trzydzieści lat dzieli pierwsze opowieści od ostatniej。 Błyskotliwe i pełne humoru， skłaniają do refleksji i dostarczają rozrywki na najwyższym poziomie。

Some of Lem's ideas are almost too current， chiefly as they've not changed in about fifty years， while some attitudes， as Elizabeth Bear notes in the foreword， are dated。 I think this is the third time I've read this， and while previously I would have given it 4 stars， now it's 3。5+ stars。 Some of Lem's ideas are almost too current， chiefly as they've not changed in about fifty years， while some attitudes， as Elizabeth Bear notes in the foreword， are dated。 I think this is the third time I've read this， and while previously I would have given it 4 stars， now it's 3。5+ stars。 。。。more

If you have read through Philip K Dick you will like Stanislaw Lem。 It would be a pity to give details of the book's plot away， although I do love the sentient washing machines。 The book is published in English by a small university press， translated by Joel Stern and Maria Swiecicka-Ziemianek， two very fine translators， and both publisher and translators tell you that this is serious literature， whatever that means。 The same shift took place with Dick when his novels were reissued by Vintage。 I If you have read through Philip K Dick you will like Stanislaw Lem。 It would be a pity to give details of the book's plot away， although I do love the sentient washing machines。 The book is published in English by a small university press， translated by Joel Stern and Maria Swiecicka-Ziemianek， two very fine translators， and both publisher and translators tell you that this is serious literature， whatever that means。 The same shift took place with Dick when his novels were reissued by Vintage。 I gather that not all of Lem's books are yet available in English translation， so I am grateful to Northwestern University Press and its translators。 。。。more

An odd， uneven book。 This isn't really properly its own book， and only exists in English translation- it's the stories from the second edition of The Star Diaries （1971; first edition 1957） which did not， for whatever reason， make it into the English-language version of The Star Diaries （1976） （except for the Sanatorium of Doctor Vliperdius， which ended up in the English-only collection Mortal Engines （1977））。 It has different translators （Michael Kandel translated the English Star Diaries; Joel An odd， uneven book。 This isn't really properly its own book， and only exists in English translation- it's the stories from the second edition of The Star Diaries （1971; first edition 1957） which did not， for whatever reason， make it into the English-language version of The Star Diaries （1976） （except for the Sanatorium of Doctor Vliperdius， which ended up in the English-only collection Mortal Engines （1977））。 It has different translators （Michael Kandel translated the English Star Diaries; Joel Stern and Maria Swiecicka-Ziemianek translated this volume）， and is published by a different publishing house。 As a result， this is a brief， uneven collection， with no clear thrust。The first two stories are the Eighteenth and Twenty-Fourth Voyages of Ijon Tichy。 The Twenty-Fourth is one of the first of the Voyages to be written （first published 1954）， and the Eighteenth one of the last （first published 1971）。 It's not clear why the Twenty-Fourth was left out of the English Star Diaries: while the other stories that were left out are stylistically somewhat different （they're primarily set on Earth， mostly focus on mad scientists， and are darker and pretty dialogue-heavy）， this one fits right in with the other stories of space travel and paradox that made it in。 It's not markedly worse than any of the stories that got into The Star Diaries- that said， it's not really exceptional， either; it's basically a stock Tichy story， where he discovers a planet of aliens with some curious problem， and then moves on。 The Eighteenth Voyage is more akin to the other stories in this volume， in that it's Earth-bound and features a （non-mad） scientist， but in tone it's more like the other Voyage stories。 It's another middling Tichy story （which is hardly to say it's bad） that was excluded from the main volume for mysterious reasons。There follow five "Further Reminiscences。" The first four are brief stories that do more to establish and cursorily explore an idea than they do to tell much of a story， and in this they remind me of Poe， curiously。 The fifth- The Washing Machine Tragedy- is an extended farce of the sort typical of the other Tichy stories， and probably the best story in this book。 These stories are followed by Doctor Diagoras， a somewhat longer story that kind of falls flat: it has the same sort of outlining-an-idea feeling of the first four Further Reminiscences， but is less punchy， and doesn't really go far enough with its ideas。 The book is wrapped up by Let Us Save the Universe （An Open Letter from Ijon Tichy）， which is an inconsequential goof， and basically an excuse to slip in some of Lem's doodles of exotic aliens。The newest edition of this book， from MIT Press， appends a newly-translated Tichy story， which was written after the second edition of The Star Diaries， and only included in a 1980s Polish edition of that book: Professor A。 Dońda。 It's an odd story， and much of it is a satire on academia; it's much longer than any of the others in the book， and very different in its ideas and tone （it's closer in tone to The Futurological Congress than any other Tichy story）， although it also deals with ideas about information that Lem returned to occasionally throughout his work。 It's only marginally a Tichy story- the protagonist could be anyone， and his first name is mentioned once in the entire story， and his last name not at all。 It's fine for the most part， at least in its storytelling and treatment of its serious ideas。 It is also， unfortunately， undermined by its satirical setting in two fictional developing African countries， which alternates between riding the line of being racist， and just being outright racist。If these stories had been published in English as they were in Polish- mingled in with the rest of the Star Diaries stories- I think they'd work fine， and provide some contrast with those stories。 But as-is， this volume exists as a lesser， vestigial work， that can't really stand on its own with Lem's greater works。 。。。more

Funny and whimsical。 Discovering Lem by accident in a book store （the Futurological Congress） may have been one of my luckiest finds。 This collection of stories was written in the same tone， and felt like reading Vonnegut but with greater emphasis on science。Generally， I have a hard time reading old sci because the technology doesn't age well。 But Lem has a way of making it less about the technology itself， using it instead as a vehicle to explore some facet of humanity。 This gives his writing a Funny and whimsical。 Discovering Lem by accident in a book store （the Futurological Congress） may have been one of my luckiest finds。 This collection of stories was written in the same tone， and felt like reading Vonnegut but with greater emphasis on science。Generally， I have a hard time reading old sci because the technology doesn't age well。 But Lem has a way of making it less about the technology itself， using it instead as a vehicle to explore some facet of humanity。 This gives his writing a somewhat timeless quality， and he remains relevant in the modern context。This comment is specific to the edition I read （from 2020）。 The foreword by Elizabeth Bear is the worst foreword I have ever read。 Her need to inject criticism of Lem on the basis of modern political ideology was tactless and disrespectful。 I have no problem with a foreword addressing problematic concepts in the upcoming work， but it should be done to set the reader up with a nuanced point/counter-point and a historical perspective。 Her writing simply comes off as blunt and petty， and does nothing to set the book up in a meaningful way。 For shame！ 。。。more

Great and funny classical science fiction stories。 My favorite is about solipsist scientist Corcoran。The idea of this story is that we may live in a virtual world， and apart from our consciousness there is nothing real - everything is a hoax。 This idea was later used many times in cyberpunk。 For example， in the famous film The Matrix。But Stanislaw Lem wrote his story much earlier。

These are stories of Ijon Tichy， most famous for attending the Eighth World Futurological Congress in Costa Rica。As with most Tichy stories， absurdity reigns; more than I remember in other Tichy stories， however， the absurdity is both satirical and what I would really expect more from Lem’s other character， Pirx: tOn day 1，006， having left the local system of the Nereid Nebula， I noticed a spot on the screen and tried rubbing it off with a chamois cloth。 There was nothing else to do， so I spent These are stories of Ijon Tichy， most famous for attending the Eighth World Futurological Congress in Costa Rica。As with most Tichy stories， absurdity reigns; more than I remember in other Tichy stories， however， the absurdity is both satirical and what I would really expect more from Lem’s other character， Pirx: tOn day 1，006， having left the local system of the Nereid Nebula， I noticed a spot on the screen and tried rubbing it off with a chamois cloth。 There was nothing else to do， so I spent four hours rubbing before I realized that the spot was a planet and rapidly growing larger。 Subtitled “Further Reminiscences of”， these were not， according to a note in the front， written as separate works from “The Star Diaries”。 They “all appeared in the 1971 Polish edition of Dzienniki gwiazdowe （The Star Diaries） but were not included in the British and American editions…”The second story， which is his Twenty-Fourth Voyage， brings to mind something I’ve occasionally wondered about Lem’s work， which is how much living in a Soviet satellite state affected his work， and how much of that got changed when translating for English audiences。 It begins as a pedestrian and not very intelligent critique of capitalism。 Tichy lands on a planet （once he stops trying to wipe it off the screen） of Phools。 The Phools consist of three classes， the Spiritors， the Eminents， and the Drudgelings。 tThe Spiritors were absorbed in the contemplation of the nature of the Great Photo， who in a deliberate creative act brought the Phools into being， settled them on this globe， and in his inscrutable mercy surrounded it with stars to illumine the night and also fashioned the Solar Fire to light our days and send us beneficent warmth。 The Eminents levied taxes， interpreted the meaning of state laws， and supervised the factories， in which the Drudgelings modestly toiled。 The Drudgelings toil so as to be able to buy things from the factories。 Unfortunately， the Eminents fire all the Drudgelings in favor of robots， because robots are less expensive than Drudgelings。 This means that the Drudgelings cannot afford to buy things from the factories， nor even to buy food。 The Drudgelings come close to revolution。Lem makes it clear that building things at the factories still costs money， however， and that no one is buying them; they are piling up into junk piles。 There is no sense of where the money comes from to keep the factories running。 From the description of how things work， it seems as though both the Drudgelings and the Eminents should be going hungry。 But instead， the factories keep producing things that nobody wants。Which is something that， having recently read The passion of Poland， I recognize as a Soviet problem that had been successfully exported to Poland。Without giving too much away， the Phools’ solution is to basically create a super-brain Central Committee to enforce ultimate equality by encouraging people to turn in their neighbors。And then it ends almost as a shaggy dog story， that is， the whole point of the satire being a single punch line at the end。Many of the stories have to do with whether human intelligence is anything special—or even if it exists at all。 In one story a crisis of whether or not robots should have human rights comes about because of washing machines; in another， a mad scientist creates brains in boxes and feeds them data to make them think they’re people living real lives。 In yet another， the brains in boxes are completely alien to human intelligence。 。。。more

I read this book during my formative years， as I tried to wean myself off Star Trek novels and onto something more serious。 I remember being profoundly affected by the stories Lem tells; but how much of that was down to the naivety of youth， I wondered。And so I approached a re-read of this book with some trepidation - what if Lem hadn't aged well for me？ What if the storyteller I remembered turned out just to have been a stepping-stone for me on the path to more serious literature？I needn't have I read this book during my formative years， as I tried to wean myself off Star Trek novels and onto something more serious。 I remember being profoundly affected by the stories Lem tells; but how much of that was down to the naivety of youth， I wondered。And so I approached a re-read of this book with some trepidation - what if Lem hadn't aged well for me？ What if the storyteller I remembered turned out just to have been a stepping-stone for me on the path to more serious literature？I needn't have worried。 From the very first page Lem's wit and intelligence leapt forth。 Some of these stories are among the most impressive pieces of science fiction the genre has ever known - intellectual quandaries supported by motivated， believable characters， that end with a startling revelation that you can fully believe in。Lem was one of the greatest writers of all time - regardless of genre pigeonholing - and if you haven't read any of his work yet， start here。 。。。more
