The series includes Lem’s The Invincible, Return from the Stars, Memoirs of a Space Traveler, Highcastle. A Remembrance, The Hospital of the Transfiguration, and His Master’s Voice.
MIT Press, which is a university publisher affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), introduces Lem as “the prolific Polish author of science fiction, philosophy, and satire [who] has been compared to such writers as Philip K. Dick, Octavia Butler, and Samuel Delany.”
The Lem series goes on sale in February. Next year will mark the centenary of the author's birth.
In addition to sci-fi novels and short stories, Lem’s output includes philosophical essays and literary criticism.
His books have been translated into 44 languages and have sold more than 30 million copies. He died in 2006.
