Product details

‘For readers everywhere, these novels have probably served as inspiring introductions to future worlds, larger lives, and greater issues.’
  1. Guardian
Why do empires rise and fall? How is society best run? Can history be predicted? Isaac Asimov explores these fascinating ideas in a multi-layered, ingenious story that is as gripping today as when it was first published in 1942. Drawing on contemporary politics, ancient history and mathematics, Isaac Asimov’s masterpiece explores the decline of the Galactic Empire; a civilisation that ruled nearly 25 million inhabited planets. This unique three-volume edition is introduced by leading economist and Nobel Prize-winner Paul Krugman, while the 21 startling, futuristic artworks have been created by talented British illustrator Alex Wells, who also illustrated the sell-out Folio edition of I, Robot.

I already own the Foundation books in various editions from over the years. This folio edition is beautiful. The weight and quality of the books along with the slipcase. Everything is just beautiful. I am thrilled. Expensive, no doubt, but for me - worth every penny.

This Folio Society edition of THE FOUNDATION TRILOGY is a pleasure to read. The illustrations show great imagination, and the three separate volumes are encased in a protective slipcase. The acid-free paper is a great way to preserve these crucial, timeless works for the future.
