In Pilot Pirx, Lem has created an irresistibly likable character: an astronaut who gives the impression of still navigating by the seat of his pants-a bumbler but an inspired one. By investing Pirx with a range of human foibles, Lem offers a wonderful vision of the audacity, childlike curiosity, and intuition that can give humans the courage to confront outer space. Translated by Louis Iribarne. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book

    Makes for a great read. Each story is strong on its own, and most are short enough to read in one sitting. In these tales we see Pirx has matured from a bemused rookie into a somewhat world-weary expert pilot.

    Pirx's adventures take him from the vastness of space to the colonies on mars and on the moon, as well as to an uninhabited earth-like planet who's rocky spires beg to be conquered.

    The focus of most of the stories is artificial intelligence gone awry and man's over-reliance on technology. All are written with Lem's trademark humor, technological realism, and eye for human character traits. A must-have for Lem fans, and a great buy for sci-fi lovers in general.

    Thirty years ago, I read with enthusiasm all works by Stanislaw Lem, in a german translation. Now I bought this english edition for my children, but I am a bit disappointed. First, this is only a selection; the english edition seems divided into two volumes, and the other "More Tales of Pirx the Pilot" appears not in this reprint (but is still available on amazon).
    This book contains "Test", "The Conditioned Reflex", "On Patrol", "The Albatross", and "Terminus"; it does not contain "The Hunt", "The Accident", "Pirx's Tale", "The Investigation", "Ananke" (ad-hoc translation of the german titles). The printing of the book is optically a bit unpleasant to read, like a cheap paperback of the 1970s and 80s: we can do better now, but apparently not in this book. And I found the translation to be sometimes irritating. Wikipedia comments that Lem is difficult to translate, and this book confirms that. Sometimes the word choice makes no sense,
    when I compare it to the german translation. I do not know what the polish original says, but I assume it follows some logic in the scientific-technical aspects of the story. And sometimes the word choice seems odd, like calling the cribsheet of navigational facts a pony. So, although I still admire Stanislaw Lem's stories, I think the publisher could have done a better job with this book.

    The stories of Pirx the Pilot pose questions just as relevant as when it was written, and is an engaging read!

    These are all very nice science fiction stories, but they certainly don't seem to be written by Stanislaw ( ! )
    I just finished Cyberiad, and that was a collection of very crazy stories concerning two robots that created a lot of zany machines, accompanied by morality tales !?!?
    But Pirx is a perfectly ordinary rocket pilot/navigator in The Earth System, without aliens or anything particularly crazy going on. Pirx solves a series of mysteries with absolutely ordinary physics and deductive ingenuity.
    The final story concerns a insane robot and the moment that I met Terminus; the reactor repairing robot, I so much wanted to see him rebuilt and repaired to his pristine functioning self, but that was not to be his fate !!!
    It has a very sad ending. ( ! )
    This collection more closely resembles a Sherlock Holmes collection of short stories set in space, as seen by a perfectly conventional science fiction writer, from the 1950s or 60s and envisioning what they believed to be the 21st century ???
    Complete with Dials and Switches and chain smoking astronauts !?

    I love this book. I had read Lem's _Fiasco_ in college. Sort of. It was required reading, which is maybe why I really had trouble reading it. I don't like being told what kind of fiction to read. But, these tales of Pirx the pilot are just cute little short stories. There's not any sex in here, as in any Piers Anthony book. No, it's just fun science fiction, told with an almost gritty down-to-earth quality (in this translation by Louis Iribarne, assisted by Magdalena Majcherczyk and Michael Kandel).

    Somewhere, I read that certain translations of Lem lack some of the puns that would be found in the original Polish version. I don't know Polish, so I don't know what I'm missing. However this translation was very funny to me. I loved how the translation gives it an almost William Gibson/Vonnegut candor to the first-person narrative. 'Dunno how well it translated from the original.

    There is a theme running throughout all the stories in this collection; it has to do with artificial intelligence and human's fear of them. Very thought provoking.

    I love these stories. I have to admit that I am very partial. I was born and raised in Poland. Lem has been my favorite SF author from the beginning and he still is. I read all these stories many times in the original and I bought the Kindle translations out of curiosity In my opinion, the translations are done very well and reflect the style of the originals quite faithfully.

    The only reason I gave this book fours stars is the frequency of typos. It increases and becomes a little annoying towards the end.

    Pirx is a rocket jockey, plying the space lanes between Earth, the Moon and Mars. Flying mostly by the seat of his pants, he stumbles his way from one mishap to another. Some how he always comes out on top, much to his surprise. In Pirx Stanislaw Lem has created a likable character, smarter than he thinks he is. He shows us that if you just persevere, eventually you'll come out on the other side.
    I rate this book-Tons of fun!

    Pirx is a likable character, and I enjoyed these stories. Lem’s writing here is humorous and playful, quite engaging. A fun, quick read.

    One of my favorite sci-fi stories of all time. Pirx is just a regular space cadet in a future where space travel is commonplace. He tries his best and that is very endearing.

    I always read that Lem's best book is Solaris. Well, I am not sure I agree, he wrote many other things I find outstanding. Tales of Pirx the Pilot, and this second volume "more tales", are among them.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Interesting volume of short stories
    Bewertet in Großbritannien am 17. November 2009
    As the title implies, this is the sequel to "Tales of Pirx the Pilot" and I would recommend reading that book first, because the stories go in chronological order. There are five stories in "More Tales of Pirx the Pilot", and they describe Pirx's adventures and activities, mainly in the Solar System, although "The Accident" is set on a rocky planet orbiting a distant star. One of the themes is the failure of technology, including robots, computers and spaceships, and how humans try to cope with it. Of course, some of the problems are due to humans themselves, being imperfect, having eccentricities and making mistakes. The stories are ingeniously plotted, and their mysteries have surprising resolutions. I would recommend this to anyone who likes Lem's other books, or science fiction in general.
