Forward The Foundation!

Product Information

Yes, some of his big ideas are interesting and commendable, yet I will argue that many of them are not particularly thought-provoking or so original that someone else wouldn’t have come along and done something similar. Questo libro racconta la vita di Hari Seldon e del suo progetto di salvare la caduta dell'Impero con la Psicostoria, ed è davvero bello. A little spoiler discussion, only read this if you have already read this book (or if you enjoy being contrary). Meanwhile someone or something outside of both Foundations seems to be orchestrating events to suit its own ominous purpose. Si bien el estilo me pareció un tanto repetitivo (resulta cansado que cada vez que aparece Dors se mencione su agilidad y fuerza; siempre que aparece Hari, lo viejo que se siente, etc.

lol* (Those knowing the series will know the different between the First and Second Foundation and therefore what I'm referring to. So my verdict: if you are interested in the history of science fiction as a genre, reading this series (or at least the first few books) is a good idea. Hacia la Fundación es una novela conformada por una serie de relatos largos en los que se narra la vida Hari, Dors, Raych, Demerzel, años después de los acontecimientos en la novela anterior. Foundation, on the other hand, starts out very strong, dips a little bit as Asimov explores new concepts, and then finishes really strong with the two prequels. Il protagonista è ancora una volta Hari Seldon, impegnato nello sviluppo e nell'applicazione pratica della Psicostoria.In and of itself though Forward the Foundation is a solid novel, rather leisurely paced, as is the case of the later Asimov works from the 80s and 90s. After all, Hari and Asimov have a lot in common (no, that's not a coincidence) and so it was not just a good-bye to Hari but to the author as well. However, I would now like to make a clarification: my judgment is definitely not objective, 'cause I love Asimov's spying fantasy science and his fascinating theory of spatial colonization. Si no supiéramos los acontecimientos que ocurren en la trilogía original de Fundación tal vez me hubiera generado algo más de interés esta historia pero al saber lo que iba a ocurrir ha hecho que solamente me interesara cuando se hacía referencia a futuros sucesos que vemos en libros posteriores. I had decided that his short stories were better than his novels, that his novels were written like long short stories.

The characterization tends to be better in these later novels, the main characters, including the smart villains, have more depth to them, the plot structure tends to be more intricate and complex.

Like other previous science fiction works by Asimov, the book was a commercial success, becoming a New York Times bestselling work. qué hacer cuando predices que la civilización (que se ha extendido por toda la galaxia) está destinada a colapsar? Settimo ed ultimo capitolo della saga della Fondazione: capitolo, senza dubbio, inferiore ai precedenti, però comunque ha il suo perchè. In the latter years of the reign of Emperor Cleon I, Seldon is dragged into the world of galactic politics by Yugo Amaryl's concern over Seldon's friend Eto Demerzel, known only to Seldon and Dors Venabili as R. En este libro Asimov plantea preguntas sobre la democracia, la estabilidad política, la importancia del acceso al conocimiento y la cultura: cuestiones que para Asimov resultaban de suma importancia en su época y contexto y que creo que, con el auge de Internet y un mayor acceso a medios digitales de información, siguen siendo vigentes.

If, however, you are a fan of science fiction but not particularly interested in its older, sexist iterations like this series, then give this a miss. As a real mistake that left a bitter aftertaste to Asimov's career right when he should've been getting lionized? La importancia de la familia, la partida de los seres queridos, el hacer algo que nos apasione en la ínfima cantidad de tiempo que pasamos por este barrio, la hermosa y única relación que se da entre abuelos y nietos, y por supuesto, el envejecer y sus consecuencias.Fans might question the need for what amounts to a second prequel to the Foundation trilogy, but Asimov supplies more than enough by way of the unexpected to both maintain the reader's interest and remain relevant to the larger overall story arc.
