Isaac Asimov (January 2, 1920-April 6, 1992) was an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University. During his lifetime, Asimov was considered one of the "Big Three" science fiction writers, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. Asimov also wrote mysteries and fantasy, as well as popular science and other non-fiction.

Step into the sharp, idea-driven imagination of Isaac Asimov with this carefully selected collection of classic short fiction.

Dans ce second et dernier volume dédié à l'histoire romaine, l'immense Isaac Asimov emmène ses lecteurs à travers les quatre siècles durant lesquels Rome assura son hégémonie sur le monde occidental, apportant la paix à une centaine de millions de personnes, tout en développant deux des plus conséquents héritages de l'Antiquité : le droit et le christianisme. Se plaçant en chroniqueur lucide, Asimov, au moyen d'anecdotes savoureuses et d'apartés, relie la grande histoire, celle des batailles et des empereurs, à la « petite », celle du quotidien et des masses anonymes.

Step into Isaac Asimov’s early foray into science fiction comedy with The Magnificent Possession. First published in 1940, this witty short story follows Walter Sills, a struggling chemist whose “brilliant” discovery—plating metals with ammonium to mimic gold—spirals into chaos. Gangsters, corrupt politicians, and desperate industrialists descend on him, only for the invention’s fatal flaw to emerge: a stench so foul it ruins everything. Part satire, part cautionary tale, this story reveals Asimov’s youthful experimentation with humor and the pitfalls of unchecked ambition.

Aucune nation dans l'histoire n'a laissé au monde un héritage aussi grand que celui des Grecs. Il semble à peine croyable qu'un peuple aussi dispersé, installé sur les îles et péninsules rocheuses de la mer Égée, ait pu accomplir tant de choses ; mais il a excellé dans tout ce qu'il a entrepris, qu'il s'agisse de guerre ou de politique, d'art ou d'athlétisme, de littérature ou de philosophie. Les Grecs ont donné une nouvelle définition de l'humanité. Leurs idéaux, leurs héros sont devenus les nôtres.
