a lot of 6 uncut pressbooks from Der Schweigende Stern (released in the U.S. in 1962 as "First Spaceship on Venus"), the 1960 Kurt Maetzig East German/Polish utopian Communist science fiction (sci-fi) interplanetary war space flight thriller ("This is a first! Fantastic! Unforgettable!"; "You are there. On man's most exciting, most incredible journey!"; "YOU ARE THERE. as they pass the moon and Lunar Station III"; "You are there. as they discover the Venusians' vitrified Forest!"; "You are there. as they are attacked by crawling, living lava!"; "You are there. as they brave the raging irradiated Venusquake!"; "Written by James Fethke", based on the novel 'Astronauci' by Stanislaw Lem; about the future world of 2003, where the Earth is a utopian single country communist paradise, and scientists discover a meteorite that landed on Earth from Venus in 1908, and it says that the Venusians will destroy the Earth in 2008, so the scientists quickly send a spaceship to Venus, but there they discover that the militaristic Venusians destroyed themselves in a nuclear civil war before they could attack the Earth!) starring Yoko Tani, Oldrich Lukes, Ignacy Machowski, Julius Ongewe, and Kurt Rackelmann. Note that the book this movie was based on was the first published novel by Stanislaw Lem, a Polish author born in 1921. He was born Jewish but was raised Catholic, and his wealthy father kept his family safe from the Nazis. After World War II, Lem, who had gone to medical school, abandoned his medical studies and became an author. He wrote many short stories in the late 1940s and in 1951 this book, "Astronauci" (The Astronauts), was published. It was adapted into this movie in 1960, and in 1962 a highly edited version was released in the U.S. as "First Spaceship on Venus". Over the 1950s he wrote more novels, and in 1961 he wrote his most famous novel, Solaris, which was adapted into a Russian TV movie in 1968, and the highly acclaimed Russian movie by Andrei Tarkovsky in 1972. He is widely regarded as one of the foremost science fiction authors of all time, on a par with H.G. Wells! We have pictured the front cover of all six pressbooks, plus an image of the interior pages from one.
