Jeff Harris will be discoursing on the topic.
It is recommended persons attending Critical Mass re-read or read for the first time, Lem’s Solaris.
A pleasure not to be missed.
English translation
Murray notes the comments in wikipedia:
“Both the original Polish version of the novel (published in 1961) and its English translation are titled Solaris. Jean-Michel Jasiensko published his French translation in 1964 and that version was the basis of Joanna Kilmartin and Steve Cox’s English translation (Walker and Company, 1970; Faber and Faber, 1971).[8] Lem, who read English fluently, repeatedly voiced his disappointment with the Kilmartin–Cox version.[9]
In 2011, Bill Johnston completed an English translation from the Polish. Lem’s wife and son reviewed this version more favorably: “We are very content with Professor Johnston’s work, that seems to have captured the spirit of the original.”[10] It was released as an audio book and later in an Amazon Kindle edition (2014, ISBN 978-83-63471-41-5). Legal issues have prevented this translation from appearing in print.[10]“
