When Kris Kelvin arrives at the planet Solaris to study the ocean
that covers its surface he is forced to confront a painful,
hitherto unconscious memory embodied in the physical likeness of a
long-dead lover. Others suffer from the same affliction and
speculation rises among scientists that the Solaris ocean may be a
massive brain that creates incarnate memories, but its purpose in
doing so remains a mystery . . . Solaris raises a question that has
been at the heart of human experience and literature for centuries:
can we truly understand the universe around us without first
understanding what lies within?
