About the book

La mítica novela que consagró a Stanisław Lem como autor de culto. Un texto hoy en día considerado un clásico sin paliativos de la literatura moderna. Kris Kelvin acaba de llegar a Solaris. Su misión consiste en esclarecer los problemas de conducta de los tres tripulantes de la única estación de observación situada en el planeta. Solaris es un lugar peculiar: no existe la tierra firme, únicamente un extenso océano dotado de vida y, presumiblemente, de inteligencia. Mientras tanto, se encuentra con personas que no deberían estar allí. Tal es el caso de su mujer, que se suicidó años antes y que parece no recordar nada de lo sucedido. Stanisław Lem nos presenta una novela claustrofóbica, en la que hace un profundo estudio de la psicología humana y las relaciones afectivas a través de un planeta que enfrenta a los habitantes de la estación a sus miedos más íntimos.
