It was published by Bloomsbury, in a translation by Ursula Phillips.
The publisher describes the book as "a sweeping and imaginative work, set against the backdrop of a transformed Europe."
According to Bloomsbury, Ice is "ambitious in scope," merging "speculative science, geopolitical re-imaginings, ecological crisis, and metaphysical depth."
The novel "invites readers to reflect on the nature of history, the fragility of civilization, and the uncanny power of nature unbound."
The story opens on July 14, 1924, in Warsaw—then under Russian rule—where a young Polish mathematician is awakened in the middle of the night by officials from the Ministry of Winter.
He is sent on the Trans-Siberian Express to search for his long-exiled father.
First published in Poland in 2007, Ice won Dukaj the European Union Prize for Literature in 2009.
Dukaj's honours also include the European Science Fiction Prize.
