The Complete Stories Volume II

Tout le monde connaît le nom d'Hari Seldon. Depuis des milliers d'années. On n'imagine même plus que ce personnage légendaire a été un homme ; qu'il y eut un temps reculé où il venait à peine d'inventer la psychohistoire et où il n'y voyait qu'une pure spéculation, sans applications pratiques...Mais dès qu'il fit sa communication, tout le monde comprit. La psychohistoire ne pouvait pas prédire l'avenir ? Les politiques s'en moquaient ! Ce qui comptait pour eux, c'est que les gens allaient y croire. Ensuite, les équations diraient ce qu'on leur ferait dire. Et si Seldon n'était pas d'accord, tant pis pour lui !Alors le jeune chercheur s'enfuit en compagnie d'une belle historienne, Dors Venabili. Il sillonna les dédales souterrains de la planète Trantor, capitale de l'Empire Galactique, toujours traqué par ceux qui voulaient contrôler sa découverte. Et ce qu'il vit le stupéfia. La ville géante se désagrégeait. Partout s'étaient constituées des communautés isolées, farouchement attachées à leur autonomie. Un terrain idéal pour affiner son modèle et formuler l'avenir inquiétant qui se dessinait sous ses yeux.Était-il trop tard pour éviter la catastrophe ? Peut-être y avait-il une chance d'agir...

Foundation and Empire tells the incredible story of a new breed of man who create a new force for galactic government. Thus, the Foundation hurtles into conflict with the decadent, decrepit First Empire. In this struggle for power amid the chaos of the stars, man stands at the threshold of a new, enlightened life which could easily be put aside for the old forces of barbarism. The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov constitute what is very likely the most famed epic in all of science-fiction
