ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem centers on psychologist Kris Kelvin's arrival at a remote space station orbiting the enigmatic planet Solaris. He finds the resident scientists in a state of disarray following the death of the station's commander. Strange phenomena begin to unfold, involving the appearance of physical manifestations seemingly drawn from the scientists' deepest memories. The narrative delves into the nature of these "visitors" and the possible influence of the sentient ocean of Solaris, exploring themes of memory, identity, and the limits of human understanding when confronted with the utterly alien. The story unfolds as Kelvin grapples with these inexplicable events and their connection to his own past.
