It's amazing that until just a few years ago, there wasn't a direct translation of Solaris available in English. The English-language version, by Joanna Kilmartin and Steve Cox, was a translation of the French edition, which was know to be less than great. The first direct translation came out in 2011, by Bill Johnston, a professor of comparative literature.
