A day to remember and miss the great Stanislaw Lem (1921-2006) the creator of Solaris and the father of cosmonaut Ijon Tichy, eccentric that could become embroiled in hilarious dialogues with different versions of himself that create temporal paradoxes in his travels to the stars. Yesterday, during this year celebrates the 90th anniversary of the birth of the great reformer of science fiction, literature festival devoted three acts KOSMOPOLIS the dubbed Operation Lem: a panel discussion on the Polish writer, a conference on his work and the screening of the film based on his books that the author valued most: Yarrow (Przekladaniec, 1968), Andrzej Wajda.
In fact, as explained just before the pass Wojciech Orlinski, author of a study on the writer, Lem disliked most films on their books. Interestingly, most anger was held gave Andrei Tarkovsy version of Solaris, 1972. "I hated it, found it pathetic, saying that his ironic solemnity betrayed the original spirit." Well, since then the Soderbergh version 2002 with George Clooney ... "Well, he preferred to that of Tarkovsky, he believed that at least kept the sexual tension between the protagonist and his dead wife twice."
Yarrow The film is a rally driver who suffers an accident and is rebuilt with pieces of his dead brother, a woman and a dog, causing the natural complications but also the administrative hassles and paradoxes therefore of interest to Lem. As if it were an argument of the author's own research, the actor starred in the film died in a car accident. Orlinski
agree that the best novel by Lem probably hay fever. He met Lem. He says he was a gentleman from another century (past). "He turned pessimistic with age and believed that mankind is sworn to suicide with progress. "His obsession with death, remember, it came from his hair survival under Nazi occupation." He did not like that they considered science fiction author. He believed that gender failed to predict the future, which summed up the title of his latest novel, Fiasco. "
