Foundation series Not quite up to the level of the original trilogy, but still an excellent read RecommendedForward the Foundation , Asimov s last novel written just before his death, published just after , suffers from all the problems of Prelude to Foundation only magnified tenfold Once again, Hari Seldon is transmogrified into an action hero to save the crisis of the day in a prequel to the older and vastly superior Foundation novels Unlike Prelude, however, there s not enough going on outside the short term arc to make this one worthwhile It s just plain silly Part of what makes the

used to seeing from these Great Old...Credo che a un occhio non allenato questo turbine multicolore sembrerebbe soltanto un guazzabuglio di numeri, figure e forme, ma per me e Yugo, e Wanda, e Gaal

debitamente Come superfluo far notare, uno scrittore di fantascienza nei suoi libri ci sono gravitass suppongo che la traduzione sia alquanto datata , ascensori a repulsione gravitazionale, ipernavi, robot umanoidi nei suoi libri, il particolare scientifico curato al minimo dettaglio Ma ci che mi lascia sempre sorpresa e ci che costituisce il motivo forse principale per cui io ritengo che la mia vita senza le storie di Asimov sarebbe pi vuota che, nei suoi libri, ad essere curata al minimo dettaglio anche la componente umana.Non ...When I was young, Isaac Asimov was my favorite author I read a lot of his books, science fiction and science fact, novels and short stories I had decided that his short stories were better than his novels, that his novels were written like long short stories I

the Foundation was written after my youthful fanship It does sort of confirm my early opinion Asimov is not great at dialog It is stiff, sometimes stodgy, and weak on inflection and nuance In the audio book that I just heard, I think this was made to seem evenso by the narrator, Larry McKeever R Daneel Olivaw made an appearance in Forward the Foundation, as he does in several of Asimov s late works I think Asmiov s dialog style suits Daneel, being a robot.Hari Seldon, the developer of psycho history, the basis of the Foundation series, is pretty much the same character as Elijah...This is the perfect book to go between the first prequel to Foundation Prelude to Foundation and Foundation itself Of course, having read Foundation first decades ago , it is difficult for me to look at this book in the same way a reader might who has not read Foundation first I was constantly and pleasantly comparing the thought processes and younger life of the incomparable Hari Seldon in this book to the vision we are given of Seldon in Foundation, when he is...Settimo ed ultimo capitolo della saga della Fondazione capitolo, senza dubbio, inferiore ai precedenti, per comunque ha il suo perch Primo
