"Let each person tell me the strangest story they know, and if it doesn't make me laugh or cry, doesn't astound or frighten me, doesn't entertain me or make me think — they'll lose their head!" - Stanisław Lem, "The Cyberiad"

A book for everyone, regardless of age. A legendary writer whose books are read all over the world.

An eminent figure, about whom anecdotes still circulate today, and who corresponded with Ursula K. Le Guin and Philip K. Dick, among others.

Returning to the book, who among us doesn't love fairy tales, and fairy tales with robots offer an unlimited field for imagination. Here we have a digital machine fighting a dragon, as well as a king who transformed into a city.

It doesn't matter which of these reasons leads you to pick up "The Cyberiad" – any of them will be a good one.

And speaking of stories that can entertain, astonish, and make one think, let's now see what other readers think about "The Cyberiad." It's time to check out the opinions of users from Lubimyczytac.pl. Finally, there will also be one opinion taken with a slight wink ;)

A collection of really great science-fiction tales. The author's word creation, bold character ideas, and fantastic inventions created an incredibly interesting, futuristic atmosphere for the book. Respect for Mr. Stanisław Lem.

They're supposedly fairy tales, but not for children. Not that there's 18+ content here, but rather adults will derive more from them, especially if they understand a bit more about the world of science. A very nice book, wisely written, but then again, that's what you'd expect from a genius like Stanisław Lem.

I don't understand anything, but it grooves.

Do you remember coming home from school and dropping everything on the little table by the front door? Keys in the china dish, letters propped against the lamp, a vase of whatever was flowering in the garden and the old telephone with its curly cord. It was the first thing you saw when you walked in, and somehow it always said: you are home.

Do you remember Sunday visits to your nan's, when the nest of tables came out from beside the armchair? Three little tables, each tucked neatly under the next, were pulled apart and handed round – one for the teapot, one for the biscuit tin and one for Grandad's crossword – and then slid back together the moment everyone went home.

Do you remember the bookcase in your grandparents' front room? Rows of faded paperbacks, a set of encyclopaedias nobody ever finished, holiday souvenirs, a framed school photo and that one heavy atlas you pulled out on rainy afternoons. It was never styled for anyone – and yet it told the whole story of the family.
