The Cyberiad Av Stanislaw Lem

<p><b>A charming, mind-bending and anarchic book of imagined civilizations</b><br><br><i>''Most cosmic civilizations long for things, in the depths of their souls, they would never openly admit to...''</i><br><br>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. <i>The Cyberiad </i>is oddly reminiscent of <i>Gulliver''s Travels</i>, <i>The Hitchhiker''s Guide to the Galaxy</i>, <i>The Phantom Tollbooth </i>and <i>Alice in Wonderland. </i>Charming, mind-bending and anarchic, it is perhaps Lem''s greatest work. This edition includes all of Daniel Mroz''s hallucinatory original illustrations.</p>
