Just yesterday I learned something about the translations of this book: Note, there are two translations of Solaris. The bad one is from 1970, which was translated from Polish to French and then from French into English. All physical print versions of Solaris in English use this translation. In 2011, the first direct translation of Solaris into English was published in audiobook and ebook. It's only available digitally, but this is the one you want to read. https://www.reddit.com/r/printSF/comments/12932gh/my_review_of_solaris_by_stanislaw_lem/jelorhi/ https://www.reddit.com/r/printSF/comments/12932gh/my_review_... I wonder if this is why, among all of the Lem books I have devoured, Solaris was one of my least favorites. I'm going to have to give it another shot.
