Niniejszy tom stanowi ilustrację drogi twórczej Janusza Zajdla przedstawiając teksty, które po raz pierwszy pojawiają się w autorskim zbiorze, a niektóre z nich nawet - po raz pierwszy w druku. Obok 17 opowiadań zamieszczono konspekty powieści napisanych oraz tych, których, niestety, już nie napisał, oraz - ciekawostka - fragmenty nie ukończonego "Drugiego spojrzenia na planetę Ksi". Zbiór uzupełniają wspomnienie o pisarzu i bibliografia jego twórczości.

About the author

Janusz A. Zajdel

45 books220 followers
Janusz Andrzej Zajdel (August 15, 1938 in Warsaw – July 19, 1985 in Warsaw) was a prominent Polish science fiction author. He died from cancer.

Zajdel is a precursor of social and dystopian fiction. In his works, he envisions totalitarian states and collapsed societies. His heroes are desperately trying to find sense in world around them, sometimes, as in Cylinder van Troffa, they are outsiders from a different time or place, trying to adapt to a new environment. The main recurring theme in his works is a comparison of the readers' gloomy, hopeless situations to what may happen in a space environment if we carry totalitarian ideas and habits into space worlds: Red Space Republics or Space Labour Camps, or both.

Frederik Pohl dedicated book Tales From The Planet Earth to Zajdel and A. Bertram Chandler.[citation needed] This book also contains one of Zajdel's short stories, "Particularly Difficult Territory", translated into English.
