    Extractions: Anzeige Der produktivste Autor der Welt Obwohl Isaac Asimov inzwischen seit mehreren Jahren tot ist, erscheinen nach wie vor Bücher, die seinen Namen tragen. Schon vor Jahrzehnten war der Name des enorm fleißigen Schriftstellers ein Garant für überdurchschnittliche Verkaufszahlen eines Titels, und daran, so hoffen die Verlage, wird sich so bald nichts ändern. Da haben wir die Unsterblichkeit, über die viele Science-Fiction -Autoren immer wieder schreiben. Seit seinem Tod sind allein in Deutschland über ein Dutzend Bücher von ihm erschienen, darunter zwei Story- und Essaycollections, der zehnbändige Foundationzyklus im Hardcover, einige Sachbücher und natürlich mehrere Anthologiebände, die seinen Namen tragen. Yours, Isaac Asimov. A Lifetime in Letters Die Frage, warum Asimov so populär ist, läßt sich relativ einfach beantworten. Er hatte nie den Anspruch, ein tiefgründiger Schriftsteller zu sein. Stattdessen wollte er, daß möglichst jeder seine Bücher versteht. Die Folge davon ist, daß man Asimov auch mit weniger fortgeschrittenen Englischkenntnissen im Original lesen kann. Typisch für ihn sind didaktisch aufgebaute Texte und kurze Sätze. Also war er ganz besonders geeignet, Sachbücher zu verfassen. Aber warum ist er als Science Fiction-Autor so beliebt und bekannt, daß sein Tod im Jahre 1992 sogar von der Tagesschau gemeldet wurde? Denn seine wichtigsten SF-Werke entstanden alle bereits in den vierziger Jahren.

Date: Mon, 3 May 1993 21:18:14 GMT Approved: wex@media.mit.edu (Alan Wexelblat) Lines: 44 REVIEW This - this - was my life's work. My past - humanity's future. Foundation. So beautiful, so alive. Hari Seldon The publication of the seventh novel in the Foundation series will, unfortunately, be the final one. "Forward the Foundation" was completed three months before the prolific and beloved author's death just over a year ago. Prior to the publication of this novel, Asimov wrote two Foundation trilogies: Foundation (1951), Foundation and Empire (1952), and Second Foundation (1953), and Foundation's Edge (1982), Foundation and Earth (1986), and Prelude to Foundation (1988). The series has entertained readers for over forty years. "Forward the Foundation" is a philosophical look back at the Foundation's creation by Hari Seldon, creator of the theory of psychohistory, the science of using physical and philosophical theories to chart human events. Psychohistorical research has foretold the collapse of the first galactic empire (roughly paralleling the fall of the Roman Empire), and Hari prepares for what will rise from its ashes. Seen primarily as a holographic image in prior volumes, he now is observed, late in life, as a wise, yet occasionally too-trusting leader with a vision. Hari must rush to preserve the achievements of humanity before they are extinguished in an apocalypse. Those who believe must act quickly and courageously, and Asimov makes them perform believably. There is even a guest appearance of R. Daneel Olivaw from Asimov's "Robot" series of novels. "Forward the Foundation" culminates with the rise of the Second Foundation, entrusted to his daughter, Wanda. It is with sadness that I highly recommend the climactic finale of one of the most entertaining and educational writers the Earth has seen. Tristar Pictures has the film rights to the Foundation stories, on behalf of Roben-Cavallo Entertainment, who are working on a motion picture.

Douglas Baker FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is an excellent work and very entertaining. It is well written in the vein of the Foundation Series. But ultimately, FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is profoundly disappointing. FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is a biography of Hari Seldon filling in the areas of his life not previously covered in PRELUDE TO FOUNDATION. FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is written as a series of novellas covering major portions and events in Seldon's life as he continues his solidification of psychohistory and prepares for the establishment of the Foundation and the Second Galactic Empire. Hari Seldon is a fascinating character and many of his life experiences chronicled in FORWARD THE FOUNDATION were unexpected. FORWARD THE FOUNDATION probably could be enjoyed as a stand alone novel but it is not recommended. Without the background of the previous Foundation novels many of the events and explications of psychohistory would be much less significant to the reader. Two key questions remained after the last novel, FOUNDATION AND EARTH. First, how and why was the Second Foundation originally established? Second, was the Seldon Plan truly a failure and would Galaxia really be the future of humankind? FORWARD THE FOUNDATION clearly answers the first question. The First and Second Foundations were established to be complimentary to each other. The First Foundation is to be the backbone of the technological and political regeneration of humanity in the form of the Second Galactic Empire while the Second Foundation plays the role of advancing psychohistory and ensuring the survival of the First Foundation. While this is relatively clear in the previous Foundation novels, the Second Foundation seems vulnerable and venal in FOUNDATION'S EDGE and FOUNDATION AND EARTH. Both Foundations are more concerned with their own self interest as opposed to the interest of the Second Galactic Empire or the Seldon Plan in those novels. In FORWARD THE FOUNDATION we clearly see that they are meant to work together to complete the Seldon Plan. Ultimately FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is extremely disappointing as a denouement to the Foundation Series. The major question left from FOUNDATION AND EARTH, the latest chronologically of the Foundation Series, is the fate of humanity. It seems pretty clear at the end of FOUNDATION AND EARTH that Gaia or Galaxia, the all encompassing organic planet where every element is interconnected physically, will be the eventual fate of all humankind after Trevize discovers what he considers to be the fatal flaw of psychohistory and decides in its favor (for more detail see FOUNDATION'S EDGE and FOUNDATION AND EARTH). Trevize claims that psychohistory does not take into account the possibility of intelligent life in other galaxies. If such life exists then psychohistory is irreparably flawed (I think this is a terribly poor argument and lament that FOUNDATION AND EARTH was ever written). Therefore Trevize feels he must side with Gaia so that humankind can be united if it ever faces a threat from intelligent life outside the galaxy. Gaia is a very unpleasant and damning ending for humanity. Humankind as one large interconnected organism is defeatist. Unfortunately, FORWARD THE FOUNDATION does not explicitly state that the Foundation ultimately establishes a Second Galactic Empire and that Galaxia is aborted. FORWARD THE FOUNDATION, however, does strongly imply that Galaxia is not the ultimate fate of humanity and that the Seldon Plan works out. First, if the Foundation does not succeed why should readers, who have already seen the future, give a damn about the life a Hari Seldon? If Galaxia is the fate of humankind then Seldon would have played no role in the shape of humankind's future and would be unimportant in the long run. Surely Asimov would not have spent such effort writing about Seldon's life if Galaxia were to make Seldon's life ultimately purposeless. Additionally there is the continuing entries of the Encyclopedia Galactica which states at the end of FORWARD THE FOUNDATION [SPOILER]: It has been said that Hari Seldon left this life as he lived it, for he died with the future he created unfolding all around him... This passage could be interpreted that the Seldon Plan eventually molds the future of humankind. Whether my assumption that the Foundation ultimately establishes a Second Galactic Empire is correct or not, FORWARD THE FOUNDATION does not bring closure to the Foundation Series. If the Seldon Plan is successful, then we must wonder how the Foundations are able to thwart the establishment of Galaxia after the seemingly firm impetus it had at the end of FOUNDATION AND EARTH. If Galaxia is indeed eventually established, certainly the two Foundations did not acquiesce without a fight. And both Foundations had the resources and ability to fight for their own survival and the Seldon Plan. This conflict would have been interesting and would have made a great premise for a final Foundation novel. The original Foundation Trilogy is a true masterpiece. The intervening Foundation novels are of mixed quality and end with a very unsatisfactory solution in FOUNDATION AND EARTH. The key reason behind establishing Galaxia is to meet any threat that may be imposed by intelligent life from other galaxies. Humankind must be united to face such a challenge. Trevize argues that the Seldon Plan is flawed by not taking into account the possibility of intelligent life in other galaxies. What Trevize (and Asimov when he wrote FOUNDATION AND EARTH?) do not realize is that as long as humans are isolated and do not come into contact with other intelligent life then the Seldon Plan will continue to operate. If the Second Galactic Empire is eventually established before any competition or invasion by other intelligent life occurs then a united human community could meet such a threat. Presumably the Second Foundation would continue to improve upon psychohistory, allowing them to take into account contact with intelligent beings from other galaxies if and when such contact is made. In sum I must say I am disappointed in the ending of the Foundation Series. For the most part FORWARD THE FOUNDATION is well worth reading in the context of the preceding novels. Unfortunately, we are left to speculate about the impending conflict between Galaxia and the two Foundations. I would have rather speculated about the interlude in Seldon's life filled by FORWARD THE FOUNDATION. Addendum: Order of reading the Foundation Series. I recommend reading the Foundation Series in order of their publication. The Foundation Trilogy, the first three novels consisting of FOUNDATION, FOUNDATION AND EMPIRE, and SECOND FOUNDATION are classics of the science fiction genre. The reader's knowledge of the events in these novels, specifically the development of the two Foundations, will make the succeeding novels more interesting. The Foundation Trilogy can be easily read as stand alone novels. Asimov followed SECOND FOUNDATION (1953) almost thirty years later in 1982 with FOUNDATION'S EDGE where Asimov introduced the concept of Galaxia where all elements in the galaxy, including humans, would be physically interconnected. This was followed in 1986 by FOUNDATION AND EARTH which continues the quest began in FOUNDATION'S EDGE and seems to firmly place humankind on the road toward Galaxia, a concept created and put in motion by the robot R. Daneel Olivaw. Many, including myself, consider this to be a most disappointing chronological end to the Foundation Series. The last two Foundation books written by Asimov return to the life of Hari Seldon and his development of psychohistory: PRELUDE TO FOUNDATION (1988) and the last, FORWARD THE FOUNDATION (1993). %T Forward the Foundation %A Isaac Asimov %C New York %D 1993 %I Bantam Spectra $5.99 (pbk) %G ISBN 0-553-56507-9 (pbk) %P 480 %T The Foundation Trilogy (Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation) %A Isaac Asimov %C New York %D 1951, 1952, 1953 %I Doubleday and Company %G ISBN 1-56865-059-0 (SFBC Edition) %P 227, 227, 225 %T Foundation's Edge %A Isaac Asimov %C New York %D 1982 %I Doubleday and Company %G ISBN 0-385-17725-9 (SFBC Edition) %P 366 %T Foundation and Earth %A Isaac Asimov %C New York %D 1986 %I Doubleday and Company %G ISBN 0-385-23312-4 (SFBC Edition) %P 356 %T Prelude to Foundation %A Isaac Asimov %C New York %D 1988 %I Doubleday and Company %G ISBN 0-385-23313-2 (SFBC Edition) %P 432 From rec.arts.sf.reviews Fri Mar 11 16:33:34 1994 Path: liuida!sunic!pipex!uknet!demon!news.sprintlink.net!dg-rtp!sheol!dont-reply-to-paths From: C_Douglas_BAKER@umail.umd.edu (cb52) Newsgroups: rec.arts.sf.reviews Followup-To: rec.arts.sf.written Subject: FORWARD THE FOUNDATION by Isaac Asimov Book Review by C.

U.K. If you were to take a census amongst non-SF readers to name a science-fiction writer, the chances are that you'd end up with a two-horse race. Without conducting such a survey, I could still guarantee that the two names heading the list would be Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke. There would certainly be other names on the list, but these two are far and above the best-known science-fiction writers in the world. We'll leave Arthur Clarke for another day and this time concentrate on that prolific powerhouse, Isaac Asimov. Isaac Asimov - and do please note the spelling: it's not Issac or Azimov, as has so often appeared in print, even on his stories - must be ranked among the world's most prolific writers. His book total now exceeds 300 (and this was written in 1986 - BB). Recently he's taken to co-editing a range of science-fiction and fantasy anthologies which helps shortcut the process, but his output is no less impressive for that. The bulk of his books are non-fiction, dealing with subjects ranging through all of the physical sciences and on to and including geography, mythology, history and the Bible, Shakespeare and even such titles as "The Sensuous Dirty Old man" (Walker, 1971) and "Lecherous Limericks" (Walker, 1975).

    Extractions: Isaac Asimov, Russian-born American author (1920-1992). "I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say that one is an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow it was better to say one was a humanist or agnostic. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect that he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time." From our friends at Famous Dead Non-Theists Arguably the greatest science fiction writer who ever lived, Isaac Asimov also possessed one of the most brilliant and original minds of our time. His accessible style and far-reaching interests in subjects ranging from science to humor to history earned him the nickname "the Great Explainer." Asimov was a paradoxical genius who wrote of travel to the stars yet refused to fly in airplanes; who imagined alien universes and vast galactic civilizations while staying home to write; who compulsively authored more than 470 books yet still found the time to share his ideas with some of the great minds of our century.

     Extractions: Auf dieser Seite habe ich versucht, ein paar Informationen über diesen großartigen Schriftsteller zusammenzustellen. Ich kann hier natürlich nicht alles aufführen, es gibt soooooooo viel über ihn zu sagen und zu wissen. Andere Leute waren freundlich genug, das zu tun, die Links findet Ihr am Ende der Seite. Asimovs fantastische Karriere als Science Fiction Autor begann 1939 mit der Veröffentlichung einer Kurzgeschichte, Marooned off Vesta , in Amazing Stories . Danach leistete er regelmäßige Beiträge für die führenden SF Magazine seiner Zeit, unter anderem Astounding Astonishing Stories Super Science Stories und Galaxy . Viermal gewann er den Hugo Award und einmal den Nebula Award. Über dreihundert Bücher und mehrere hundert Artikel werden ihm zugeschrieben, damit war Asimovs Leistung eine äußerst produktive.
