WINNER OF THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST ALL-TIME SERIES The Foundation
series is Isaac Asimov's iconic masterpiece. Unfolding against the
backdrop of a crumbling Galactic Empire, the story of Hari Seldon's
two Foundations is a lasting testament to an extraordinary
imagination, one that shaped science fiction as we know it today.
The Galactic Empire has prospered for twelve thousand years. Nobody
suspects that the heart of the thriving Empire is rotten, until
psychohistorian Hari Seldon uses his new science to foresee its
terrible fate. Exiled to the desolate planet Terminus, Seldon
establishes a colony of the greatest minds in the Empire, a
Foundation which holds the key to changing the fate of the galaxy.
However, the death throes of the Empire breed hostile new enemies,
and the young Foundation's fate will be threatened first.
Sense and Sensibility is a delightful comedy of manners in which
the sisters Elinor and Marianne represent these two qualities.
Elinor's character is one of Augustan detachment, while Marianne, a
fervent disciple of the Romantic Age, learns to curb her passionate
nature in the interests of survival.
