| empire galactique asimov: Foundation Isaac Asimov, 2004-06-01 The first novel in Isaac Asimov’s classic science-fiction masterpiece, the Foundation series THE EPIC SAGA THAT INSPIRED THE APPLE TV+ SERIES FOUNDATION • Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read For twelve thousand years the Galactic Empire has ruled supreme. Now it is dying. But only Hari Seldon, creator of the revolutionary science of psychohistory, can see into the future—to a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that will last thirty thousand years. To preserve knowledge and save humankind, Seldon gathers the best minds in the Empire—both scientists and scholars—and brings them to a bleak planet at the edge of the galaxy to serve as a beacon of hope for future generations. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation. The Foundation novels of Isaac Asimov are among the most influential in the history of science fiction, celebrated for their unique blend of breathtaking action, daring ideas, and extensive worldbuilding. In Foundation, Asimov has written a timely and timeless novel of the best—and worst—that lies in humanity, and the power of even a few courageous souls to shine a light in a universe of darkness. |
| empire galactique asimov: D'Asimov à Star Wars Isabelle Lacroix, Karine Prémont, 2016-04-13T00:00:00-04:00 La science-fiction est éminemment politique. Parce qu’elle permet de voir ce qui pourrait être, elle se fait le miroir de nos craintes collectives les plus criantes.

| empire galactique asimov: Second Foundation Isaac Asimov, 1994 SECOND FOUNDATION One man understood the shifting patterns of the inhabited cosmos. This was Hari Seldon, the last great scientist of the First Empire. The mathematics of psychohistory enabled Seldon to predict the collapse of the Empire and the onset of civilisation in the shortest possible time, Seldon set up two Foundations. The First was established on Terminus in the full daylight of publicity. But the Second, 'at the other end of the galaxy', took shape behind a veil of total silence. Because the Second Foundation guards the laws of psychohistory, which are valid only so long as they remain secret. When the First Foundation was conquered by a force Seldon had not foreseen - the overwhelming power of a single individual, a mutant called the Mule - the Second Foundation was forced to reveal its existence and, infinitely worse, a portion of its power. But so far its location, its most closely guarded secret of all, has been kept hidden. So far. The Mule and the remnants of the First Foundation will do anything to discover it. This is the story of the Second Foundation. One of the most staggering achievements in modern SF THE TIMES |

Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. For Hari possesses the prophetic power that makes him the most wanted man in the Empire . . . the man who holds the key to the future—an apocalyptic power to be known forever after as the Foundation. |

Anderson, New York Times bestselling co-author of the Dune prequel series On the beautiful Outer World planet of Solaria, a handful of human colonists lead a hermit-like existence, their every need attended to by their faithful robot servants. To this strange and provocative planet comes Detective Elijah Baley, sent from the streets of New York with his positronic partner, the robot R. Daneel Olivaw, to solve an incredible murder that has rocked Solaria to its foundations. The victim had been so reclusive that he appeared to his associates only through holographic projection. Yet someone had gotten close enough to bludgeon him to death while robots looked on. Now Baley and Olivaw are faced with two clear impossibilities: Either the Solarian was killed by one of his robots—unthinkable under the laws of Robotics—or he was killed by the woman who loved him so much that she never came into his presence! Isaac Asimov’s Robot series chronicles the sometimes uneasy partnership between human and humanoid: I, ROBOT • THE CAVES OF STEEL • THE NAKED SUN • THE ROBOTS OF DAWN |

| empire galactique asimov: Le Voyage dans le temps James Gleick, Richard Taillet, 2020-08-24 Ce livre est une exploration époustouflante du voyage dans le temps : ses origines, son évolution dans la littérature et la science, et son influence sur notre compréhension du temps lui-même. L'histoire commence au tournant du 20e siècle, avec le jeune H. G. Wells qui écrit et réécrit le conte fantastique qui est devenu son premier livre et qui fait sensation dans le monde entier : THE TIME MACHINE. C’était une époque où de nombreuses forces convergeaient pour transformer la compréhension humaine du temps, tant philosophique que technologique : le télégraphe électrique, le chemin de fer à vapeur, la découverte de civilisations enfouies et la perfection des horloges. James Gleick suit l'évolution du voyage dans le temps en tant qu'idée faisant partie de la culture contemporaine - de Marcel Proust à Doctor Who, de Jorge Luis Borges à Woody Allen. Il étudie les paradoxes de la boucle temporelle et examine la limite poreuse entre la fiction et la physique moderne. S’il y est effectivement question de science-fiction, l’auteur est beaucoup plus ambitieux. Il aborde par exemple la façon dont notre temporalité a été perçue et envisagée au cours des âges (ce n’est que très récemment que l’humanité se projette dans une trame historique, en particulier avec un futur). Avec une pointe d'humour, l'auteur mêle les réflexions des philosophes à celles des scientifiques et des écrivains. Ce n'est pas fortuit : la notion de culture, visiblement centrale pour l'auteur, est particulièrement pertinente dans une discussion sur le temps, qui implique celle de mémoire, individuelle ou collective. |

| empire galactique asimov: La science-fiction : aux frontières de l'Homme Stéphane Manfrédo, 2000-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 Littérature protéiforme, aux multiples avatars, la science-fiction a marqué de manière indélébile l'histoire culturelle et sociale du XXe siècle. Divertissante, édifiante, prophétique, engagée, alarmiste, elle s'est constamment adaptée à son environnement, pour en restituer un reflet à la fois déformé et, souvent, douloureusement fidèle. Mais, avant tout, elle demeure littérature. Stéphane Manfrédo raconte avec passion cette fascinante aventure individuelle et collective d'auteurs, qu'une simple étiquette peine à rassembler, mais que rapproche l'ambition d'appréhender l'homme et le monde dans leur irréductible complexité. |

| empire galactique asimov: Shadows of the Future Patrick Parrinder, 1995-07-01 H. G. Wells, the inventor of the concept of the time machine and the phrase ‘the Shape of Things to Come’ described his life’s work as one of ‘critical anticipation’. Shadows of the Future identifies this attempt to imagine possible futures as the unifying principle behind Wells’s diverse and sometimes wayward literary career.

On the planet Florina, the natives labored as slaves for their arrogant masters on nearby Sark. But now both worlds were hurtling toward a cataclysmic doom, and only one man knew the truth--a slave unaware of the secret knowledge locked inside his own brain. Rik had once been a prominent scientist until a psychic probe erased all memories of his past. Now he was a humble laborer in the kyrt mills of Florina. Then the memories began to return, bringing with them the terrible truth about the future--a truth that his masters on Sark would kill to keep secret . . . even at the cost of their own survival. |

| empire galactique asimov: Le roman historique Isabelle Durand-Le Guern, 2008-06-11 Le roman historique est un genre très prolifique qui rencontre un succès grandissant auprès d’un large public. Il répond à une curiosité pour les époques passées et à un désir de dépaysement et de distraction. Érudit ou populaire, novateur ou stéréotypé, divertissant ou indigeste, il doit satisfaire à des exigences parfois contradictoires. De Walter Scott à Claude Simon en passant par Alexandre Dumas, Thomas Mann ou Christian Jacq, l’auteur nous raconte la naissance du genre et nous décrit son évolution du XIXe au XXIe siècle. Il présente ses règles de fonctionnement ainsi que ses enjeux esthétiques et idéologiques, et questionne enfin son rapport avec l’histoire (histoire-passé ou histoire discipline), et avec les autres genres littéraires. |

| empire galactique asimov: Ars Magna André Delaporte, 2017-04-24 Avec ce Trésor de l'âge d'or, André Delaporte poursuit la réalisation de l'ample polyptique commencé par lui il y a une trentaine d'années. Le terme de Trésor (Thesaurus) emprunté aux Grecs et aux Romains et réutilisé à la Renaissance a été choisi à bon escient. Il ne s'agit certes pas d'une encyclopédie, mais bien plutôt de la mise en valeur, de la sculpture, du ciselage, de l'époussetage des différentes thématiques ayant trait à l'âge d'or, conçu comme nodule idéologique où viennent se concrétionner veinules de métaux différents, rares et précieux, sertissant les joyaux récoltés ou composés, principalement ici par l'humanité euro-méditerranéenne, dans les différents genres littéraires et artistiques : poésie, philosophie, histoire, politique, musique... Polyptique à la façon du célèbre et merveilleux retable d'Isenheim de Matthias Grünewald présenté au Musée Unterlinden à Colmar. Mais André Delaporte a opéré le choix de placer son polyptique en contrebas de ces dômes, d'originale création romaine : le Panthéon de Rome, et surtout, la merveille des merveilles, le gigantesque dôme de Sainte-Sophie de Constantinople et tous ses émules, des dômes de Florence et de Saint-Pierre jusques à ceux surplombant la moindre de nos églises romanes de Saintonge. Point de redites par rapport aux oeuvres précédentes d'André Delaporte, qui n'aime point à rabâcher. Mais des interprétations audacieuses, souvent surprenantes : Hésiode parle de races et non, à la façon d'Ovide, d'âges ; et il en décompte cinq (voire six ?), contrairement aux quatre canoniques ; Kronos n'est pas Khronos. Kronos est, au contraire, le Titan anti-Temps ; le problème de la légitimité posé après le coup d'état de Zeus : dans ce contexte se situent les ruses de Prométhée pour venir au secours des hommes dans un monde où Zeus s'essayera par la suite à instaurer la Justice ; les comparaisons qui s'imposent d'elles-mêmes avec la révélation des origines en Eden ; l'utilisation redondante du mythe à des fins politiques, le rôle des Médicis dans l'exhumation et la mise en valeur dudit mythe, etc. Bien d'autres réflexions sont conduites par André Delaporte, heureux de présenter cette oeuvre au public Adonc, puisse ce Thesaurus le guider sur la Voie et lui être source d'enrichissement spirituel et intellectuel. |

| empire galactique asimov: The Carpet Makers Andreas Eschbach, 2013-07-30 “Enthusiastically introduced by no less than Orson Scott Card, this far-future novel does credit to everyone concerned, starting with its German author.” —Booklist Since the time of pre-history, carpetmakers tie intricate knots to form carpets for the court of the Emperor. These carpets are made from the hairs of wives and daughters; they are so detailed and fragile that each carpetmaker finishes only one single carpet in his entire lifetime. This art descends from father to son, since the beginning of time itself. But one day the empire of the God Emperor vanishes, and strangers begin to arrive from the stars to follow the trace of the hair carpets. What these strangers discover is beyond all belief, more than anything they could have ever imagined . . . Brought to the attention of Tor Books by Orson Scott Card, this edition of The Carpet Makers contains his special introduction. “Eschbach’s first novel will blow you away. Yes, it’s that good.” —Analog “A considerable achievement, and one that suggests the presence of a world-class SF voice that we ought to know about.” —Locus “Andreas Eschbach is incontestably the shooting star of the German SF scene.” —Heyne Science Fiction Yearbook “That such a magnum opus has been allowed to languish in the shadows for ten years is damning evidence of how parochial SF publishing can be. Even more astounding, it was Eschbach’s debut.” —Kirkus Reviews |

Generations ago, humans fled to the cosmic anomaly known as Grass. Over time, they evolved a new and intricate society. But before humanity arrived, another species had already claimed Grass for its own. It, too, had developed a culture. . . . Now, a deadly plague is spreading across the stars. No world save Grass has been left untouched. Marjorie Westriding Yrarier has been sent from Earth to discover the secret of the planet’s immunity. Amid the alien social structure and strange life-forms of Grass, Lady Westriding unravels the planet’s mysteries to find a truth so shattering it could mean the end of life itself. |
