Provocación

"Provocation" is a cornerstone of Stanislaw Lem's magnum opus, the "Library of the 21st Century," an intellectual feat unprecedented in contemporary literature, which Impedimenta recovers for the first time in direct and complete translation. The holocaust as a triumph of statistics, the reification of man and nature, its reduction to numbers, the impossibility of life in the Universe and evolution in reverse. All the ideas that have made Stanislaw Lem great are in this sharp and unorthodox text that confronts literature with reality and the living with the dead, bluntly questioning all convictions about the Holocaust and contemporary human beings. A deep and demanding but highly rewarding book by one of the great masters of the 20th century. One of the most mythical works of the Polish Stanislaw Lem. A visionary anti-war allegation, tinged with the finest humor, which puts the finishing touch on the Library of the XXI Century.
