Winner of the Hugo Award for the Best All-Time Series.
The cult sci-fi series Foundation is being released in a new Slovak translation to mark the centenary of the author Isaac Asimov's birth.
At the beginning of the third millennium, the Empire reached its peak. It spans to all corners of the galaxy and has never been more powerful than it is now.
Only the founder of a new scientific discipline, psychohistory, can foresee the eminent decline, which will be followed by thirty millennia of chaos and conflict. In an effort to save humanity's knowledge and shorten the period of chaos to a necessary minimum, psychohistorian Hari Seldon establishes a beacon of hope for future generations on a deserted planet at the edge of the known universe. He calls this refuge for humanity's greatest minds the Foundation.
The Foundation series is the cornerstone of the modern sci-fi genre and is now considered a classic of world literature. Isaac Asimov created a world in which he poses problems that are still relevant seventy years after its first publication.
Original title: The Foundation
