Our exploration of Jewish Fantasy and Science Fiction continues with The Cyberiad, a playful, insightful and visionary masterwork by Polish/Jewish author Stanislaw Lem:
“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.” (From The London Review Bookshop)
