Foundation

Hugo Award for Best Series of All Time

In 1941, as a young scientist and writer, Isaac Asimov was inspired by Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and wrote an epic far ahead of his time: the collapse of the Galactic Empire and the return of feudalism, from the safe environment of the Second Galactic Empire. Told from a retrospective perspective. As a result of this process, questions such as "Can history be predicted?", "How should society be governed?" or “Why do empires rise and fall?” The epic Foundation Series, which does not hesitate to ask questions such as these, has emerged.

It was the golden age of the Galactic Empire. For thousands of years, the planets were ruled by this ancient civilization. But one man had the audacity to predict the collapse of the empire: Hari Seldon, a pioneer of psychohistory. According to their predictions, galactic war was inevitable. In order to postpone this situation as much as possible, he established two Foundations; One was responsible for protecting thousands of years of knowledge that the empire had, while the other's location and purpose were unknown. As the Empire began to collapse, the inhabitants of the First Foundation working on the Galactic Encyclopedia would realize that Seldon had assigned a role for them beyond their expectations.

İthaki Publications will continue to publish the Foundation Series in the order in which they are published.
