My favourite writer

My favourite writer was Stanislaw Lem. Stanisław Lem was a Polish writer of science fiction, philosophy and satire. He was named a Knight of the Order of the White Eagle. His books have been translated into 41 languages and have sold over 27 million copies.He is perhaps best known as the author of the 1961 novel Solaris, which has been made into a feature film three times. In 1976 Theodore Sturgeon said that Lem was the most widely read science fiction writer in the world. His works explore philosophical themes; speculation on technology, the nature of intelligence and the impossibility of mutual communication. They are sometimes presented as fiction. Translations of his works are difficult due to passages with elaborate word formation, alien or robotic poetry, and puns. Multiple translated versions of his works exist. He gained international fame for The Cyberiad, a series of humorous short stories from a mechanical universe inhabited by robots.. His best-known novels include Solaris, His Master's Voice , and the late Fiasco. Solaris was made into a film in 1972 by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky and won a Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1972. But, in my opinion, the best book of Stanislaw Lem is Memories found in a tub (Memorias encontradas en una bañera). I read this book one month ago, and I thought this book is very itriguing.
