Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, New York. 1979. 216 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. In Pilot Pirx, Lem has created an irresistibly likable character: an astronaut who gives the impression of still navigating by the seat of his pants-a bumbler but an inspired one. By investing Pirx with a range of human foibles, Lem offers a wonderful vision of the audacity, childlike curiosity, and intuition that can give humans the courage to confront outer space. Translated by Louis Iribarne. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 206 pages. Seller Inventory # 67633
