 Premier Digital Publishing announced today the digital launch of Solaris by Stanislaw Lem.  The book that spawned the movie is now available as an eBook in an updated English translation.

Until now the only English edition was a 1970 version, which was translated from French and which Lem himself described as a “poor translation.” This wonderful new English translation (by Bill Johnston) of Lem’s classic Solaris is a must-have for fans of Lem’s classic novel.

Telling of humanity’s encounter with an alien intelligence on the planet Solaris, the 1961 novel is a cult classic, exploring the ultimate futility of attempting to communicate with extra-terrestrial life.

“We are thrilled to bring this new English translation pf Solaris to eBooks.” said Thomas Ellsworth, President of Premier Digital Publishing. “The cult-classic book is a timeless sci-fi title that readers have loved for decades.”

    There's a suggestion on the Lem.pl site that this is the new unabridged translation by Bill Johnston, but there is no information on Amazon either way. I confirmed that it is by downloading a sample chapter.

    The fact that this is the first publicly available unabridged English version of Solaris in 50 years should be shouted from the rooftops, not hidden!
