Return From the Stars [Powrót z gwiazd]
24,95 $
Stanislaw Lem's Return from the Stars recounts the experiences of Hal Bregg, an astronaut who returns from an exploratory mission that lasted ten years—although because of time dilation, 127 years have passed on Earth. Bregg finds a society that he hardly recognizes, in which danger has been eradicated. Children are ‘betrizated’ to remove all aggression and violence—a process that also removes all impulse to take risks and explore. The people of Earth view Bregg and his crew as ‘resuscitated Neanderthals,’ and pressure them to undergo betrization. Bregg has serious difficulty in navigating the new social mores.
