Solaris is a science fiction novel written by Stanislaw Lem. The plot follows Kris Kelvin, a psychologist who is sent to a space station orbiting the planet Solaris to investigate the strange events that are occurring. On Solaris, there is no solid ground, only a vast ocean that seems to have life and intelligence. Kelvin faces the appearance of people who shouldn't be there, such as his wife, who had committed suicide years before. The novel explores themes such as communication with the unknown, the nature of reality, and human psychology in extreme situations.
