Paperback. Condition: new. Daniel Mróz (illustrator). Paperback. A much-loved classic from a giant of european science-fiction.Stanislaw Lem is perhaps the most original and influential European science-fiction writer of the twentieth century. His ornate, phantasmagorical writing probes the furthest reaches of the universe while remaining deeply and particularly human.The Cyberiad, one of Lem's most beloved works, follows the exploits of the Trurl and Klapaucius- two ingenious 'constructors'. In their adventures through a strange medieval universe they encounter a machine capable of creating anything that starts with the letter 'N'; kings who oppress their people with parlour games; and PhD pirates who demand ransom in knowledge rather than gold. It is a world where UFOs land silently on lawns at dawn, and where even the stars can be re-arranged for advertising purposes. Fables for the Cybernetic Age. 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. 'The Cyberiad' is oddly reminiscent of 'Gulliver's Travels', 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', 'The Phantom Tollbooth' and 'Alice in Wonderland'. Charming, mind-bending and anarchic, it is perhaps Lem's greatest work. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
