Nightfall and Other Stories

De: Isaac Asimov

Narrado por: Jon Lindstrom

A collection of twenty classic short stories by Isaac Asimov, author of the Foundation series, featuring the definitive and only in-print version of “Nightfall”

From one of history’s most influential writers of science fiction comes this collection of twenty short works of fiction, arranged in order of publication from 1941 to 1967. Compiled by Asimov himself, who prefaced each story with an introduction, it begins with “Nightfall,” the tale of a world with eternal sun that is suddenly plunged into total darkness and utter madness. Published when the author was only twenty-one, “Nightfall” was arguably Asimov’s breakout work, making such an impression that, almost thirty years later, the Science Fiction Writers of America voted it the best science-fiction short story ever written.

The other stories in the collection span far and wide: Machines that learn to think for themselves—and direct their thoughts to overturning the establishment. The discovery that Earthlings are being destroyed by a mysterious kind of psychological virus. A day when walking outdoors becomes a sign of psychosis. And many more. Twenty stories: each riveting, each a classic.

A great collection of stories

A great collection of short stories which were fun to listen to while I was working.

Issac Asimov

He’s such a great storyteller!! Always a dependable storyteller,a set of classics easy to enjoy.

superb!

I really enjoyed this anthology of short stories. the narration was great, each story is accompanied by a short prologue by the author, absolutely fantastic.

Classic Science Fiction

These stories remind me of the old black and white Sci-Fy movies of the 50’s. They also appear to have been an inspiration for some of the more modern Sci-Fy stories I.e. The 3 Body Problem. Asimov is truly one of the greats in this genre.

Top notch Science Fiction

Very enjoyable stories with additional insights about how the stories came to be. A look into the life of an icon.

A nice introduction to Asimov

I’d not listened to or read any of Isaac Asimov’s work before. This was delightful!

Absolutely fantastic collection!!!!!!

This is the first bit of Asimov I've read, and I absolutely loved it! I always really like short stories and I'm glad I started with these ones. It's interesting that nightfall is rated to be one of the best ones supposedly because I loved the other one's more. Please stick through the 1st few. These stories are amazing!
PS watch in 1.65 times speed

short stories

I really like the fact his short stories had so much body to them

Great collection of classes stories!

I found myself fully engaged with each story although some I had heard before from others collections.

Happily surprised

After an avid reader of Asimov’s Foundations and Robots sagas and side-short-stories, i was happily surprised with this stories, their intro by Asimov himself was quite valuable.

A must read… or listen, whatever you prefer
