While it feels a little unfair to judge his vast body of work from so narrow a sample – particularly without having read any of the robot novels for which he is most famous – from these two books, I have nonetheless formed a distinct impression of his writing.Īsimov is clearly an author who is concerned with Big Ideas: Capital “B”, Capital “I”. This collection, which I scavenged from a friend’s bookshelf, represents only my second experience of Asimov’s work, the previous encounter having come when I found a very battered copy of the first book of his Foundation trilogy buried at the back of a cupboard in a rented flat, several years ago. Along with Nightfall Two (1971), this book forms a two-volume reissue of the earlier collection Nightfall and Other Stories (1970). The stories, originally published between 19, were selected by Asimov to represent his work over this period and are each accompanied by a brief introductory text from the author. Nightfall One (1971) is a collection of five short stories by the legendary science fiction author, Isaac Asimov (1920-1992).
