Stanisław Lem in Romania: Translations and Reception

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the reception of Stanisław Lem’s work in Romania, with particular emphasis on the translation of his oeuvre into Romanian. This subject is important due to the growing interest in science fiction literature and Lem’s unique position: apart from Andrzej Sapkowski (representing the fantasy genre), he remains the only Polish science fiction author whose works have been translated into Romanian. The article provides an overview of the various forms and channels through which Lem’s work reaches Romanian readers, primarily through translations, literary criticism, and cultural events associated with the writer. The study highlights the importance of direct translations from Polish and the impact of indirect translations on the perception of Lem’s work, while also acknowledging the role of cultural promotion. The research includes an analysis of existing literature, a review of translations and an examination of literary blogs. The findings indicate that although Lem’s work is highly esteemed among science fiction enthusiasts, he remains a niche writer in Romania. The article contributes to a broader understanding of the reception of Polish literature in Romania and the role of translations in shaping the image of Polish literature in Romanian culture.
