Le livre d'or de la science-fiction: Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov est né en 1920 en Russie, et vit aux Etats-Unis depuis l'âge de trois ans. Il publia sa première nouvelle à l'âge de dix-neuf ans et poursuivit parallèlement des études qui le menèrent au doctorat de biochimie. Dans les années quarante, sa nouvelle Crépuscule, sa série des robots et son cycle de Fondation le hissèrent au tout premier plan des auteurs de S.F. Puis le vent tourna : il se spécialisa dans la vulgarisation scientifique, où il a conquis une notoriété mondiale, ce qui ne l'a pas empêché, à l'occasion, de revenir à ses premières amours. Pour lui, la S.F. est un jeu intellectuel : il adore poser des règles et les transgresser en tapinois. Amateur d'énigmes et d'humour, le « bon docteur » se situe a mi-chemin de Verne et d'Agatha Christie. De là, sans doute, son immense popularité.

About the author
Isaac Asimov
4,405 books25.1k followersWorks of prolific Russian-American writer Isaac Asimov include popular explanations of scientific principles,
The Foundation Trilogy
(1951-1953), and other volumes of fiction.
Isaac Asimov, a professor of biochemistry, wrote as a highly successful author, best known for his books.
Asimov, professor, generally considered of all time, edited more than five hundred books and ninety thousand letters and postcards. He published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey decimal classification but lacked only an entry in the category of philosophy (100).
People widely considered Asimov, a master of the genre alongside Robert Anson Heinlein and Arthur Charles Clarke as the "big three" during his lifetime. He later tied Galactic Empire and the Robot into the same universe as his most famous series to create a unified "future history" for his stories much like those that Heinlein pioneered and Cordwainer Smith and Poul Anderson previously produced. He penned "Nightfall," voted in 1964 as the best short story of all time; many persons still honor this title. He also produced well mysteries, fantasy, and a great quantity of nonfiction. Asimov used Paul French, the pen name, for the Lucky Starr, series of juvenile novels.
Most books of Asimov in a historical way go as far back to a time with possible question or concept at its simplest stage. He often provides and mentions well nationalities, birth, and death dates for persons and etymologies and pronunciation guides for technical terms. Guide to Science, the tripartite set Understanding Physics, and Chronology of Science and Discovery exemplify these books.
Asimov, a long-time member, reluctantly served as vice president of Mensa international and described some members of that organization as "brain-proud and aggressive about their IQs." He took more pleasure as president of the humanist association. The asteroid 5020 Asimov, the magazine Asimov's Science Fiction, an elementary school in Brooklyn in New York, and two different awards honor his name.
