63. Borges - Influence: Stanislaw Lem The Garden of Forking Paths is a Jorge Luis Borges Web resource, and this page details the inluence of Borges on other writers. http://www.libyrinth.com/borges/borges_infl_lem.html

Borges: Influence and References Stanislaw Lem From: Pablo R. Mora, pmora@wam.umd.edu Another example may be Stanislaw Lem. His book Perfect Vacuum is a critique of imaginary books, is inspired in Borges, as explicitly acknowledged in the introduction. The last two pieces are some of the most "Borgesian" stuff not written by Borges that I have ever seen. Also interesting is a clever but exceedingly harsh analysis of Borges's work in Microworlds, From: Greg Cardin, carden@simplecom.net Another book possibly influenced by Borges is Stanislaw Lem's Memoirs Found in a Bathtub, which is sort of a blend of "Babylon Lottery" and "Library of Babel," with a twist of Kafka, Novalis, near mystical paranoia, and a somewhat Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Cat's Cradle sci-fi style. My favorite Lem book. From: Christos Tsatsoulis, ctsats@hotmail.com I think that the very idea in Solaris can be seen, in a first manifestation, in Borges' "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius." I am talking about the "hrönir." The visiting creatures in Solaris are nothing else but "alive" hrönir....

Many of his books echoed cold war themes during the 1960s. Perhaps Lem's best know work was Solaris , published in 1961 and twice made into films.

66. So Long, Stanisław Lem « Charm &c. Stanis aw lem, great Polish author of literatury fantastyczny, has died in Krakow at age 84. His science fiction, written while living under communism, http://superweak.wordpress.com/2006/03/27/so-long-stanislaw-lem/

Or, fun from the third floor of Wilson So long, Stanisław Lem March 27, 2006 Stanisław Lem, great Polish author of literatury fantastyczny , has died in Krakow at age 84. His science fiction, written while living under communism, was wonderfully different from the general mode in the West, focusing on humanistic aspects of technology and our concepts of the future. He also had an amazing sense of humor. Unfortunately his obits seem to focus on his writing a book filmed by Stephen Soderbergh. In his honor, here is where I suggest starting if you want to discover Lem: Nobody can go wrong with The Cyberiad If you frequently worry about the end of the world, why not read The Futurological Congress What about the self-destructive yet irresistable logic of militarization? Fiasco is for you. If you are in a more Borgesian mood, A Perfect Vacuum You can, of course, read Solaris , although contrary to what filmmakers would have you believe, it is not about the redeeming power of love; if anything, it is about the impossibility of communication, a slightly different topic. Dziękuje, i do widzenia.

Culture iht.com Business Culture ... Search Obituaries: Stanislaw Lem, 84, writer of science fiction Ben Sisario Published: WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 2006 The cause was heart failure, his secretary, Wojciech Zemek, told The Associated Press. Mr. Lem was a giant of mid-20th-century science fiction, in a league with Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick. And he addressed many of the themes they did: the meaning of human life among superintelligent machines, the frustrations of communicating with aliens, the likelihood that mankind could understand a universe in which it was but a speck. His books have been translated into at least 35 languages and have sold 27 million copies. What drew the admiration of many of his fellow writers was the intensity with which he studied the limitations of humanity, in ways that could be both awed and pessimistic. Today in Culture Sundance: New American realism emerges amid grousing and Hummers Rambo: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the jungle Born in 1921 in Lviv - then part of Poland but now in Ukraine - Mr. Lem began to study medicine as a young man, but his education was interrupted by World War II. He worked as a mechanic during the war and later returned to his medical studies but did not take his final exams out of fear that his services would be needed in the military. His first literary works were poems and short stories. Back to top Home Culture Most E-Mailed 24 Hours 7 Days 30 Days Nuclear weapons are secure, a top Pakistani official says

71. Love And Tensor Algebra - Stanislaw Lem A poem by stanislaw lem. http://www.ee.duke.edu/~wrankin/misc/tensor.html

Love and Tensor Algebra from "The Cyberiad" by Stanislaw Lem Come, let us hasten to a higher plane Where dyads tread the fairy fields of Venn, Their indices bedecked from one to n Commingled in an endless Markov chain! Come, every frustrum longs to be a cone And every vector dreams of matrices. Hark to the gentle gradient of the breeze: It whispers of a more ergodic zone. In Riemann, Hilbert or in Banach space Let superscripts and subscripts go their ways. Our asymptotes no longer out of phase, We shall encounter, counting, face to face. I'll grant thee random access to my heart, Thou'lt tell me all the constants of thy love; And so we two shall all love's lemmas prove, And in our bound partition never part. For what did Cauchy know, or Christoffel, Or Fourier, or any Bools or Euler, Wielding their compasses, their pens and rulers, Of thy supernal sinusoidal spell? Cancel me not - for what then shall remain? Abscissas some mantissas, modules, modes, A root or two, a torus and a node: The inverse of my verse, a null domain. Ellipse of bliss, converge, O lips divine!

72. Nancy Street - Hobbies - Science Fiction - Stanisław Lem This page is my personal tribute to the Polish author Stanis aw lem, who I believe to be one of the greatest writers in the science fiction and fantasy http://www.orthogonal.com.au/hobby/sf/authors/lem/

Home Hobbies Sci-Fi Lem Preamble Since I discovered Lem in 1979, his writings have been my constant companion and a source of relaxation and inspiration, and he slowly has become my yardstick of SF quality. Almost every time I read a book, or see a movie or TV show on SF I find myself thinking "Lem has already written about that, and it was better". Lem's works must surely strike a resonance in the minds of people who have an interest in science. Lem has a well-rounded knowledge of many areas of science and he weaves his polymath skills into his works in such a way that they have more depth than is normally found in the SF, fantasy and detective output of other more famous specialist authors in these genres. This is a hobby "fan" page, so I will welcome feedback of any type regarding errors or omissions. Even disputes about my opinions will be welcome. Measuring Lem Who is the greatest science fiction writer? That's a simple question that would surely cause heated arguments amongst fans of the genre. Perhaps it's a bit like asking who is the prettiest woman or who is the funniest comedian. To be a bit more rigorous, if the greatness diversity is a key attribute of greatness, then Lem can surpass many of the legends of science fiction.

The assumption would be that every document, circulating endlessly from desk to desk, must eventually hit upon the right one. A time-consuming procedure, perhaps, but one that would never fail.

Stanisław Lem De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre Saltar a navegaci³n bºsqueda Stanisław Lem ( Stanisław Lem 12 de septiembre de 27 de marzo de ) fue un escritor polaco cuya obra se ha caracterizado por su tono sat­rico y filos³fico. Sus libros, entre los cuales se encuentran Ciberiada y Solaris , se han traducido a 40 lenguas y ha vendido 27 millones de ejemplares. Es considerado como uno de los mayores exponentes del g©nero de la ciencia ficci³n y uno de los pocos escritores que siendo de habla no inglesa ha alcanzado fama mundial en el g©nero. Sus obras exploran temas filos³ficos que involucran especulaciones sobre nuevas tecnolog­as, la naturaleza de la inteligencia, las posibilidades de comunicaci³n y comprensi³n entre seres racionales; asimismo propone algunos elementos de las limitaciones del conocimiento humano y del lugar de la humanidad en el universo. Su encasillamiento como escritor de ciencia ficci³n se debe a que ocasionalmente, a lo largo de su carrera como escritor, prefiri³ presentar sus trabajos como obras de ficci³n o fantas­a, para evitar los atav­os del rigor en el estilo acad©mico de escritura y las limitaciones del nºmero total de lectores al que llegar­an sus libros si fueran textos "cient­ficos"; no obstante, algunas de sus obras est¡n en la forma de ensayos cient­ficos o de libros filos³ficos, tales como Summa Technologiae y Microworlds (ambas sin traduci³n al castellano), en las que expresa con rigor sus posturas cient­ficas. La mayor parte de su obra de ficci³n se tradujo al castellano entre las d©cadas de los setenta y ochenta, en la actualidad existen pocas versiones reeditadas. Por su parte, las traducciones de sus trabajos de no ficci³n (ensayos cient­ficos y textos filos³ficos) escritos entre las d©cadas ochenta y noventa, son escasas en nuestro idioma, por lo cual es m¡s conocido por los hispanohablantes como escritor de ficci³n.
