[return to "The Truth, by Stanisław Lem (1964)"]

Truly, being able to read Lem's works untranslated is my favourite thing about being a native polish speaker. There are some fantastic translations out there, but somehow, when it comes to sci-fi, I find works written in polish or other eastern european languages to flow better. In addition to the above, I find that reading an older physical edition adds much charm to vintage sci-fi. The copy of The Truth I own comes from 1967 and the feel of the old, yellowed pages does enhance the reading experience.

Ah, the man I want. Tell me, is "Ijon Tichy" a joke on "tachyon", or something else?

(noticed that years ago, been wondering it could not possibly be accidental, not Lem ...)
