  KRAKOW, Poland (Reuters) - Polish author Stanislaw Lem, one of the
  world's leading science-fiction writers, died on Monday in his home
  city of Krakow at the age of 84 after a battle with heart disease.

  Lem, whose books have sold more than 27 million copies and have been
  translated into more than 40 languages, won widespread acclaim for The
  Cyberiad, stories from a mechanical world ruled by robots, first
  published in English in 1974.
