Yes, The Invincible is a great book. Actually I've just realized that for me a re-read is overdue!

BTW, for Polish users--there's a comic book [1] that makes a nice gift (tested).

Oh and also for Polish speakers - there is an absolutely fantastic "superproduction" audiobook of it, with background music, sound effects and famous actors narrating, it's a treat, I very highly recommend it.

Oh, thanks! I will check it.


This is fascinating! Stunning art and close to the color palette I had in my head for it. Knowing Bealrusian and having read the book years ago in Russian am tempted to give it a shot.


I have no idea how hard it would be, I've never tried to read Belarusian or Russian (I guess mainly because I don't know cyrilics). But just as I wrote in a neighboring comment, maybe you could use Google Lens or something like that as an aid?


Linguistic distance from Belarusian is not that large although the languages have quite a few deceptive "false friend" words/expressions. But at least I could understand the text shown in the presentation video. And it probably helps I read the story before.


It looks super cool! Too bad there isn't an English language version.


Given that we're talking about Stanisław Lem, what about using something like Google Lens to translate the text on the fly? :)
