Early stories, poems, and plays by Stanisaw Lem, published from 1946 to 1955, at the dawn of his writing career.. Many of them are related to fiction..... [ ) Others - realistic - are devoted to the Second World War and the tragedy of the occupation of Poland, the eternal problems of the intelligentsia at the turn of the epochs, the moral choice that must be made sooner or later by every person........ This is the unusual Stanislaw Lem .. However, even the earliest works of this amazing author already bear the features of his extraordinary talent, imbued with humanism and faith in the future of mankind.
