Fundación es el comienzo de la primera trilogía de Las Fundaciones, una de las obras maestras del género. Mucho tiempo después de que la Tierra pasara al olvido, la galaxia se unificó alrededor de un Imperio pacífico gobernado desde la majestuosa ciudad de Trántor. El sistema funcionó y prosperó durante incontables generaciones. Todo el mundo creía que duraría eternamente... Todos menos Hari Seldon, la mente científica más poderosa de su tiempo. Sus investigaciones en el campo de la psicohistoria (las matemáticas aplicadas a las grandes aglomeraciones humanas) auguraban un desastre imposible de prevenir. El Imperio estaba condenado... Pero el Plan Seldon era una estrategia a largo plazo, destinada a minimizar las peores consecuencias del futuro que se avecinaba. Para ello se establecieron dos Fundaciones en ambos extremos de la galaxia. Esta es la historia de la primera. Fuente: casadellibro.com

Interplanetary intrigue, hyperspace pursuit, and future technology combine with a desperate search for the planet Earth.
The epic story of the Foundation is one of the great classics of science fiction by the Grand Master of the genre. Isaac Asimov's legendary saga, winner of the Hugo Award for Best All-Time Novel Series, has enthralled generations of readers - and continues to amaze. All records of Earth have been removed systematically from the libraries of Foundation worlds. Now Councilman Golan Trevize and Professor Janov Pelorat traverse the galaxy in search of humanity's ancestral planet. On worlds beyond the Foundation's influence, superstition and taboo shroud the subject of their quest. To name Earth is to utter an obscenity. Fortunately, the space travellers find allies - and Pelorat finds a lover named Bliss - among the telepaths of the planet Gaia. As they near their destination, Bliss picks up thought waves of intelligent beings. What she cannot tell is whether or not those beings are human.

It is the story of the Galactic Empire, crumbling after twelve thousand years of rule. And it is the particular story of psycho-historian Hari Seldon, the only man who can see the horrors the future has in store: a dark age of ignorance, barbarism and violence that will last for thirty thousand years. Gathering together a band of courageous men and women, Seldon leads them to a hidden location at the edge of the galaxy where he hopes they can preserve human knowledge and wisdom against all who would destroy them. Asimov went on to add numerous sequels and prequels to the trilogy, building up what has become known as the Foundation series, but it is the original three books, first published in the Forties and Fifties, which remain the most powerful, imaginative and breathtaking.
