The men find a strange world that grows ever stranger: a desert plain exuding acrid vapors, a greenish tinge at the horizon, a gray seven-foot tree that hisses and withdraws into the ground when touched, and thickets of vegetation like hanging spiders.\u003cp\u003eIn a labyrinth of plant-shaped buildings are dead ends, passage-ways, domes, vaulted ceilings, and giant statues. And everywhere there are images of death: mass graves, naked bodies in ditches and wells, a beehive structure filled with clusters of giant eggs -- a skeleton within each egg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crew's attempt to communicate with this civilization leads to violence and to a cruel truth -- cruel precisely because it is so human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanislaw Lem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0156278065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780156278065\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Houghton Mifflin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.75h x 5.29w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/06\/1991\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanislaw Lem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050654724351,"sku":"9780156278065","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_674b0b45-4c2b-48a7-a658-9eeb7c517c5b.jpg?v=1685008475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eden-stanislaw-lem-9780156278065","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
