In a remote Galactic Empire, mathematician Hari Seldon uses psychohistory to predict the fall of civilization and an era of barbarism. To shorten it, he drives the creation of two Foundations; this novel narrates the efforts of the first to preserve knowledge and overcome the crises that threaten its mission.
First installment of Asimov's Foundation saga, originally published as Foundation in 1951; this Spanish edition dates from 1986.
