Lem’s Star Diaries
Professor Tarantoga und sein seltsamer Gast
Literal: Professor Tarantoga and his strange guest
by Dr. Albrecht Börner, directed by Jens-Peter Proll
According to Fernsehen
der DDR, the German adaptation of Lem’s script finds the science-obsessed Professor
Tarantoga with a strange guest who calls himself Novak (or maybe Hipperkorn) and claims
to hail from fourth-millennium Mars where he quulles. part from the bit about quuelling,
this certainly sounds like the 1963 Polish script that we read, but we don't know whether
it was expanded or revised.
