Isaac Asimov Presents the Great Science Fiction Stories 7

En savoir plus sur le livre

1945-a momentous year: January 9, U.S. forces invade the Philippines; February 13, Dresden firebombed; Iwo Jima falls March 16; F.D.R. dead on April 12; Hitler, April 30. And on August 6, the Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, altering the fate of humanity. And most certainly altering the face of science fiction. Stories of dramatic mutations, "outsiders," aliens, superhumans, were in high gear and the tremendous transition of the times was reflected in powerful stories by Fritz Leiber, Leigh Brackett, Fredric Brown, Lester del Rey, Henry Kuttner, A. Bertram Chandler, Isaac Asimov and more. The world was expanding at a rapid rate, but no more quickly than the world of science fiction!
