Everyman's Library Foundation Trilogy : Asimov, Isaac, Dirda, Michael: desertcart.ae: Books Review: Three books in one with some extras. Well made item. - So it is a solid edition with an introduction written by Michael Dirda and timeline of Asimov's life cross referenced literature and world events that corresponded to author's timeline. Review: I first read it when I was 20 and I was fascinated. Now at almost 50 I bought it for my son and instead read it again myself and what shall I say? I still love it. Sure, it is a bit dated. Also I remembered the Mule too well for any real tension to develop - but hey! Probably one of the best schi-fi books ever and well worth reading it even if you are not so much into sci-fi.

Cette œuvre mérite d'être un classique. C'est très bien écrit et cohérent. Les complots politiques narrés par Asimov me semblent parfois un peu simples. Il fait preuve de pas mal de candeur et de légèreté à cet égard. L'histoire devient un peu lassante à la longue. Enfin, je m'attarde sur les défauts mais l'œuvre est excellent, elle mérite ses 5 étoiles. Je préviens juste des "défauts" de l'oeuvre qui m'ont déplu parceque vous pourriez trouver cela rédhibitoire.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto perché già avevo la trilogia di Asimov in singoli paperback inglesi e volevo un’edizione che fosse esteticamente migliore. Sotto la copertina acchiappapolvere si nasconde un volume ben rifinito in tessuto rosso, col titolo stampato sul dorso. La carta, dal piacevole odore, è stampata - come riportato in fondo al volume - con carattere Bembo, in onore al nostro Pietro Bembo, primo utilizzatore. Davvero raffinata, l’edizione è rilegata a filo refe e ben resistente, si apre sempre in piano e è presente un segnalibro di stoffa. Naturalmente, la trilogia di Asimov è di alta qualità letteraria, ben godibile per sintesi e prosa asciutta nell’originale inglese.
