A charming, mind-bending and anarchic book of imagined civilizations
'Most cosmic civilizations long for things, in the depths of their souls, they
would never openly admit to...'
Trurl and Klapaucius are 'constructors' - they travel around the universe
creating machines of astonishing inventiveness and power and visiting a
bewildering variety of violent, peculiar and morose civilizations. The Cyberiad
is oddly reminiscent of Gulliver's Travels, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy, The Phantom Tollbooth and Alice in Wonderland. Charming, mind-bending
and anarchic, it is perhaps Lem's greatest work. This edition includes all of
Daniel Mroz's hallucinatory original illustrations.
