Isaac Asimov is one of the leading names in science fiction. The Good Doctor, as he was affectionately known, wrote and edited more than 500 books throughout his career – among them, the famous Foundation Trilogy. 2020 will mark the 100th anniversary of Asimov's birth.
Now in its second edition, The End of Eternity has already sold over 20,000 copies.
Originally published in 1955, The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov is considered one of the masterpieces of science fiction and one of the most important novels about time travel.
In a lighthearted and humorous way, Asimov raises questions that are still quite contemporary, such as human complacency, its evolution in relation to other species, and the relentless pursuit of control over the lives of others. The work also proposes reflections on our behavior in the face of personal needs and situations involving a greater good.
In the novel, the reader is introduced to Andrew Harlan, an Eternal, a member of an organization that monitors and controls Time. A technician who deals daily with the fate of billions of people worldwide: his job is to initiate Reality Changes, that is, to alter the course of History. Conditioned by rigorous training and strict self-discipline, Harlan has learned to set aside his emotions when doing his job. Everything goes well until the day he meets the attractive Noÿs Lambent, a woman who makes him reconsider his concepts in the name of something as old as time itself: love. Now he will have to risk everything – not only his job, but his life, Noÿs's life, and even the course of History.
Considered one of Asimov's best works, this classic shows us once again why the Good Doctor is regarded as the great master of modern science fiction.
