The Early Asimov. Volume 2

Meer over het boek

Isaac Asimov began his literary career as a science fiction writer, exclusively penning short stories for magazines during the first eleven years. The idea of publishing a book seemed far-fetched due to his inherent modesty. However, as he transitioned to writing books, he sought to compile the materials he had previously created for magazines. Between 1950 and 1969, he published ten collections. While this might seem sufficient, it did not satisfy the insatiable appetite of his readers. When publishers suggested he create a collection of stories that had not made it into those earlier volumes, accompanied by brief introductions, he could not refuse. This volume showcases Asimov's early works, reflecting his imaginative storytelling and the themes that would come to define his illustrious career in science fiction.
