Synopsis

The Magellanic Cloud (Polish title: Obłok Magellana) is a 1955 science fiction novel by Polish writer Stanisław Lem. Fragments of the novel were published earlier, in 1953 and 1954, in the magazine Przekrój. Lem characterized the novel as an "extract of the times of Socialist realism". In 1963, the novel was adapted into the Czechoslovak film Ikarie XB-1.
