Upplýsingar um vöru
- The first novel in Isaac Asimov's classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION - Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future--to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire--both scientists and scholars--and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation. The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are among the most influential in the history of science fiction, celebrated for their unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. In Foundation, Asimov has written a timely and timeless novel of the best--and worst--that lies in humanity, and the power of even a few courageous souls to shine a light in a universe of darkness.

Isaac Asimov Classic Novels Editorial Review
Foundation by Isaac Asimov is a classic science fiction novel that explores the decline and fall of the Galactic Empire and the aftermath that follows. The story revolves around the Foundation, a planet of scientists tasked with preserving the culture of the old civilization. Through intelligence and craftiness, the Foundation manages to survive and Prosper with minimal violence. Asimov tackles big ideas such as psychohistory, the Consolidation of political power, and empire-building through religion, trade, and culture. While the book lacks in character development, it compensates with its thought-provoking exploration of these concepts. The episodic format works well, allowing the story to progress without becoming tedious. Foundation is often regarded as one of the foundational works of science fiction and is a must-read for fans of the genre.
