The Golden Age of Science Fiction I

Description

The stories included were originally published in pulp magazines such as Astounding Science Fiction, and represent the awakening of the genre towards a more mature narrative, with bold scientific ideas and more complex characters.

Asimov not only selects the stories, but also accompanies them with personal introductions that reveal how they influenced his development as a writer. Authors often include legendary names such as Robert A. Heinlein, Theodore Sturgeon, Lester del Rey, and Alfred E. van Vogt. The Edisan edition is especially valued for its careful translation and presentation, making it a collector's item.
