À propos de cet audio
At last, one of the world’s greatest works of science fiction is available - just as author Stanislaw Lem intended it.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of Solaris, Audible, in cooperation with the Lem Estate, has commissioned a brand-new translation - complete for the first time, and the first ever directly from the original Polish to English. Beautifully narrated by Alessandro Juliani (Battlestar Galactica), Lem’s provocative novel comes alive for a new generation.
In Solaris, Kris Kelvin arrives on an orbiting research station to study the remarkable ocean that covers the planet’s surface. But his fellow scientists appear to be losing their grip on reality, plagued by physical manifestations of their repressed memories. When Kelvin’s long-dead wife suddenly reappears, he is forced to confront the pain of his past - while living a future that never was. Can Kelvin unlock the mystery of Solaris? Does he even want to?

At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama. It is huge, weighing more than ten trillion tons. And it is hurtling through the solar system at inconceivable speed. Then a space probe confirms the unthinkable: Rama is no natural object. It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence.

Across two parallel narratives, Murakami draws listeners into a mind-bending universe in which Lauren Bacall, Bob Dylan, a split-brained data processor, a deranged scientist, his shockingly undemure granddaughter, and various thugs, librarians, and subterranean monsters collide to dazzling effect. What emerges is a novel that is at once hilariously funny and a deeply serious meditation on the nature and uses of the mind.

Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"Juliani transmits Kelvin’s awe at Solaris’s red and blue dawns and makes his confusion palpable when he awakens one morning to find his long-dead wife seated across the room. Juliani’s performance is top-notch." ( AudioFile)

Genuine Science Fiction
I have read (or listened to) stories that were more entertaining than this one, but I must say that this is unique. Significantly unique. It is difficult to review, in fact. This is certainly one of the great books of the genre.
This novel examines the concept of 'alien' and proposes our (almost) complete inability to understand an extra--terrestrial intelligence. No little green men here. No rubber forehead aliens either.
Without revealing too much, the protagonist is part of a scientific super project to study an alien phenomena on a distant world; a living 'ocean'. Contact with this intelligence pushes the minds of the tiny scientific team to the limits of their endurance.
Astounding that this book seems reasonably modern, with a few notable exceptions, despite its publication date (1961).
The narration was very fine, but his attempt at the female voice (Hari) was not great and a little distracting.

Definitely worth reading
This is an excellent work of science fiction, truly one of the classics. It's depiction of alien life as something truly alien is a breath of fresh air. This book is very philosophical and really encourages the reader to reflect on the work. There are occasionally passages which are very technical but these are nevertheless an important part of the work. Overall, it is an excellent work but you have to be in the right mood to listen to it and know what you're getting into. It may be odd and quirky at times but it is worth reading. The narrator does an excellent job as well. The pace of narration is good, as are the different voices of the characters, both male and female. Overall it's 5/5 but I gave the story a 4/5 because it's not really a story driven book in my opinion but more philosophical.

A good story about people in a crisis
Even though the crisis was caused by external events it still feels like it had internal roots. I wonder how the storyline would develop if it's characters were able to accept themselves and others completely.
