Translated from the Polish by Louis Iribarne.



In Pilot Pirx, Lem has created an irresistibly likable character: an astronaut who gives the impression of still navigating by the seat of his pants-a bumbler but an inspired one. By investing Pirx with a range of human foibles, Lem offers a wonderful vision of the audacity, childlike curiosity, and intuition that can give humans the courage to confront outer space. Translated by Louis Iribarne.



Back Cover:



THROUGH SPACE BY THE SEAT OF HIS PANTS



Pilot Pirx is an astronaut, a fresh-faced physical powerhouse, but no genius. His superiors send him on the most dangerous missions, either because he is expendable, or because they trust his bumbling ability to survive in almost any habitat or dilemma. Follow Pirx now through a world of hyper-technology and super-psychology from his early days as a hopelessly inept cadet soloing with a pair of sex-crazed horseflies. . . to a farside moon station built by bickering madmen. . . to a chase through space after a deadly sphere of light. . . to an encounter with a mossy old robot whose programming has slipped.



"Stanislaw Lem is wildly comic," says Theodore Sturgeon in The New York Times. "He is sardonic, perplexing, insightful." Anthony Burgess in The Observer calls him "one of the most intelligent, erudite, and comic writers working today." Tales of Pirx the Pilot is "pure gold for an SF buff and an exotic new alloy for literary sorts. " -- Boston Globe
