Could you point to some good Lem translations? My sense is that a lot is lost because of the cultural differences, too.

Michael Kandel’s translations are as good as you’re going to find. Lem’s literary agent called them “excellent”.

To this day I boggle at how Kandel managed to translate much of The Cyberiad.
Most anyone would have just broke down and changed jobs.
