    "Звездни дневници" на гениалния полски фантаст Станислав Лем представляват цикъл от разкази, които са толкова хомогенни, че често се определят от критиката като роман. Пътешествията на неуморимия Ийон Тихи не са номерирани в никаква последователност, защото, както обяснява авторът чрез своя герой, едни пътешествия се извършват в пространството, други във времето -- винаги можеш да се върнеш назад, където още не е имало пътешествие и тогава първото би станало второ... more

Pierwsza ma charakter satyryczny i opisuje jedną z wersji możliwych na Ziemi "labiryntów prawnych", w który uwikłany zostaje odpoczywający w zacisznej Szwajcarii Ijon Tichy... more
