Science Fiction

La edición ilustrada de la obra cumbre de Isaac Asimov, con 11 ilustraciones del artista Gabriel Björk Stiernström y traducción de Manuel de los Reyes. Isaac Asimov empezó a escribir la saga de la Fundación a los veintiún años, sin saber que un día esta obra se convertiría en la piedra angular de la ciencia ficción del siglo XX, ni que con ella cautivaría a lectores de todas las edades durante más de siete décadas. ¿Por qué surgen y caen los imperios? La Trilogía Fundación es una historia con múltiples capas cuya lectura sigue siendo tan apasionante hoy como cuando se publicó por vez primera en la década de 1950. Incorporando infinitos elementos de la política contemporánea, la historia antigua y las matemáticas, la obra maestra de Asimov explora el declive del Imperio Galáctico, una civilización que gobernó sobre casi veinticinco millones de planetas habitados. Esta edición única de la Trilogía Fundación, ilustrada y en un solo volumen, es el mejor homenaje a la mayor saga de la ciencia ficción universal.

Evoluutiotarinoita on fiktiivinen tieteisromaani, joka koostuu viidestä erillisestä tarinasta. Tarinat linkittyvät toisiinsa ja niiden yhteisenä teemana on kehitys. Vakavamieliseksi teosta ei silti voine syyttää. Kehitykseen keskittyessään romaani samalla tahtomattaankin vastaa meitä kaikkia kiinnostaviin kysymyksiin:Kuinka vakavasti voimme suhtautua maan ulkopuoliseen älyyn, ottaen huomioon sen tason omalla planeetallamme?Mistä oikein tulemme, ja olemmeko menossa oikeastaan minnekään?Paljonko kello todellisuudessa on?Minne kanat katosivat? Kaikkiin näihin kysymyksiin on syytä suhtautua kaikella sillä vakavuudella, jonka ne ansaitsevatkin.

The Wandering Jew is an 1844 novel by the French writer Eugène Sue. It is a Gothic novel depicting the titular character in conflict with the villain, a murderous Jesuit named Rodin. The Wandering Jew was a serially published novel, which attained great popularity in Paris, and beyond. According to historian John McGreevy, the novel was intensely and deliberately "anti-Catholic". Its publication, and that of its predecessor The Mysteries of Paris, greatly increased the circulation of the magazines in which they were published and depicted the intrigues of the nobility and the harsh life of the underclass to a wide public.

Published in 1916 as a cautionary tale, America Fallen! imagines a terrifying future in which the United States becomes the next victim of global war. Drawing on the recent devastation of World War I, the story portrays a sudden and catastrophic invasion that overwhelms American defenses. Through vivid descriptions of destroyed cities, military failures, and public panic, the narrative reflects early 20th-century anxieties about national vulnerability and international power. Combining military speculation with political commentary, this work stands as an early example of dystopian and alternate history fiction, urging readers to consider the fragility of peace and the dangers of complacency.
