I mistakenly selected the wrong option, I haven't read anything by him.

I love the Solaris movie by Tarkovsky, but I have no idea how faithful it is to the book. have you read it Kal?

Yes, it is quite faithful, as opposed to the 2002 American version.

Lem is difficult to translate, although Michael Kandel did a marvellous job with English translation (so great that if there was a Nobel Prize in Translation, he should've got this). I can't speak for the German translation.
